This morning’s meditation:

“To remain indifferent to the challenges we face is indefensible. If the goal is noble, whether or not it is realized within our lifetime is largely irrelevant. What we must do therefore is to strive and persevere and never give up.”
—Dalai Lama

[Rep. Summer Lee @RepSummerLee]

Money in politics is at the root of so many of our challenges. When big money drives decisions, everyday people lose their voice.

If we get money out of politics, we can put priorities back where they belong: with the communities that we were elected to serve.

@tomsherwood So is a second round tabulation required now? If yes, timeline?

[Sharon Eliza Nichols @SharonElizaDC]

From @EleanorNorton:

“With his background as counsel in my office and service the DC Council, Robert White's experience & tenacity prepare him to take the torch as DC's delegate to Congress and carry it into the future.

"Congratulations, Robert. I know you will never yield."

[Alex Koma @AlexKomaDC]

He’s out with a statement confirming it. Show’s officially over.

@charlesallen Congratulations, Charles! 👏🏽

Lewis George now: “Tonight belongs to the postal worker on the early route, the nurse coming home from a double, the teacher who buys supplies out of her pocket, the childcare worker who loves our babies all day but still can’t make ends meet.”

[Kimberly Perry @KimPerry_DC]

@BrianforDC Congratulations, Brian! 👏🏽

[Kimberly Perry @KimPerry_DC]

@ZacharyforWard5 Congratulations, Zach! 👏🏽👏🏽✊🏽✊🏽

[Under 3 DC @Under3DC]

Thank you @ChmnMendelson for averting a child care crisis by finding nearly $100M in the FY27 budget! Please help us finish the job: +$2M for Pay Equity.

[Scott Goldstein @ScottGoldstein]

Comparing mayoral listening sessions will tell you everything you need to know about how they will govern:
✅ @Janeese4DC held SIX education listening sessions, anyone could speak, full chat & debate.
❌ @kenyanmcduffie held ONE w/ pre-selected speakers only & a disabled chat.

[Erica Williams @EricaWilli]

Interrupting your regularly scheduled twitter programming to invite you to join an exciting new campaign led by 16 local and national orgs (including @DCFPI) to build solidarity with neighbors across the country for #DCStatehood

[Zachary Parker @ZacharyforWard5]

You’re kidding yourself if you really think a curfew is what we need now when you’re cutting the services that give young people better options in the first place.

Like, let’s be serious.

[Tazra Mitchell @TazraMitchell]

She proposed several tax and fee changes in her budget, folks. Including on income taxes...

[Charles Allen @charlesallen]

I see a woman who’s gracious to a departing colleague on his last day as he resigns from office, looks to find common ground, and shows value in public service. Interesting choice to turn that around and use it as fodder for a campaign ad. That choice says more than she did.

[Kimberly Perry @KimPerry_DC]

@KTravisBallie @Janeese4DC Thanks for sharing this great clip!

[Kimberly Perry @KimPerry_DC]

She’s. On. Fire. When we fight for kids and working families. We win! Let’s go win this thing!

[Kimberly Perry @KimPerry_DC]

Amen, Councilmember!

[CM Christina Henderson @CMCHenderson]

“We all have a responsibility here. We cannot cut childcare so that the CFO can keep their parking and come in [twice] a month. We cannot cut healthcare for residents so that the CFO can sit on a hundred vacancies. We cannot cut food access programs because of a mythical cash flow problem that no one can provide any analysis for.”

[Kimberly Perry @KimPerry_DC]

@Meagan_Flynn Congratulations, Meagan! So sweet. He’s beautiful. Enjoy every minute with him and your family.

[Under 3 DC @Under3DC]

@mcoxmitchell, chief program officer at the @BainumFdn said the Pay Equity Fund has helped stabilize DC childcare. Removing that support could push experienced teachers out and that families would immediately feel the impact. https://t.co/n6pM21Exsw

[Charles Allen @charlesallen]

She’s thoughtful, engaged on everything, and she’s very good at oversight. Partnership isn’t weak or “hitching your wagon”. Creating bold solutions to stabilize the childcare industry couldn’t and shouldn’t have happened without women’s leadership. 2/2
