The safety and well-being of every guest remains our top priority as we celebrate this historic 250th Independence Day. In light of current heat conditions, Freedom 250, United States Park Police, National Park Service, the United States Secret Service, and the Federal Emergency Management Agency have coordinated closely to adjust event timing and expand cooling resources, water stations, and medical support across the grounds. We are proud to welcome the public to a safe, well-prepared, and truly memorable celebration of America's 250th birthday.

On June 6, 1944, ordinary Americans became the guardians of freedom. They crossed an ocean, stormed the beaches of Normandy, and changed the course of history through courage, sacrifice, and love of country.

Eighty-two years later, Freedom 250 remembers the heroes who gave everything so freedom could endure. 🇺🇸

Who are the five DC Council members who have refused to advance curfew measures, an important law enforcement tool, that enhances public safety, and keeps young people out of dangerous situations?

-Janeese Lewis George
-Trayon White
-Robert White
-Brianne Nadeau
-Zachary Parker

They must stop prioritizing the chaos inherent with these out of control meet ups, as well as prioritizing offenders instead of law-abiding citizens of the District. I can do my job, but they must do theirs.

Tomorrow, the window closes on one of the most unique jobs in Federal law enforcement.

The Secret Service is hiring Unmanned Aircraft Systems Operators to conduct aerial surveillance, develop flight operations plans and evaluate emerging UAS technologies in support of mission-critical protective operations. You'll be a vital part of the team protecting Presidents and dignitaries, and also assisting with criminal investigations.

It's a challenging job, but the opportunity closes tomorrow!

I urge the DC Council to immediately pass emergency legislation to restore the extended juvenile curfew in Washington, DC.

The absence of this vital tool is having a profound negative impact on both public safety and sense of safety in the District.

We cannot afford further delay.

Excited to unveil the design for the East Potomac Golf Links renovation from Fazio Design.

In the past year, I've stood on scenes of the murder of 2 Israeli embassy workers, the murder and shooting of 2 National Guardsmen, the shooting of a federal officer at the WHCD. The hate and division we are stoking in our nation is wrong. We must be better. God heal our land.

[Jerry West @Jerrywestdc]

@RobertWhite_DC SMH. Be better than this.
