The proposed cuts to the Washington Post Metro Section should alarm every DC resident.

Local Post reporters play an indispensable role informing the public, elevating community voices, covering crises, and holding power to account.

The Washington Post should cover Washington.

@RoryCormac Thank you :)

[Deanna Troust @DeeLT]

So grateful for our attorney general, who fights daily for DC residents’ rights and safety! #thankyou @DCAttorneyGen

From the beginning, we made clear that the military should not be policing American citizens on American soil.

Normalizing the use of military troops for domestic law enforcement sets a dangerous precedent.

This federal overreach is not normal or legal.

@GGarciaMineco @State_E @MariaF_Rivera Great to see!

[Deanna Troust @DeeLT]

👇🏼 Federal oversight SLOWS our ability to prosecute local crime. Eliminating the DC Attorney General is unacceptable and an insult to the 700K taxpayers and residents of Washington, DC, which appears to be the point based on the past month’s activity here.

[Martin Austermuhle @maustermuhle]

Similarly, @DCAttorneyGen sent his own letter to Congress, saying that allowing the president to appoint the city's AG "would concentrate all criminal and civil litigation authority in the President, divesting the District and its residents of any local control."

[Deanna Troust @DeeLT]

Good to hear 👏🏼👏🏼

[Under Secretary of State Jacob S. Helberg @UnderSecE]

Had a productive meeting today with @GGarciaMineco and @MariaF_Rivera of #Guatemala. We discussed expanding economic ties, curbing illegal immigration, and improving the investment climate. The 🇺🇸 remains committed to our strong partnership with 🇬🇹 and our shared vision of prosperity in our region. @MINECOGT @MagaGuatemala

Nothing like calling the urgent care using the number on the website, because you know it’s urgent, and being told you can only book online using your whatever account that I certainly have no record of. Because, you know, urgent care

@paulschwartzman I’d bet $ that community engagement and PR is a stated, perhaps even recruited for part of their assignment here

[Deanna Troust @DeeLT]

@BrandyZadrozny Yeah betting $ that there was a whole lot more to the actual question than he’s saying

[Deanna Troust @DeeLT]

@GGarciaMineco 👏🏼👏🏼

The cheapest health insurance on D.C. 's exchange is $700+ per month with a $6500 deductible.

Kicking working families off Medicaid will mean many residents will opt not to have insurance because the exchange is so expensive. It will make DC sicker and make our ERs primary care.

The Supreme Court ruled on the evening of April 10 that the Trump administration must comply with a lower court's order to "facilitate" the release from custody of Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia, an immigrant who was deported without a hearing to a mega prison in El Salvador.

The case underscores the issue of due process and what legal protections are afforded to noncitizens.

@mariashriver OMG. Three decades of research and findings, gutted.

[Ruth Ben-Ghiat @ruthbenghiat]

Does anyone know where the money "saved" by cuts to our services is actually going? What is the oversight process to monitor DOGE's "reallocation" or buildup of funds?
