Democratic Mayors Association: "Let's be clear: Crime is down in most major cities - including Washington, DC - in spite of Donald Trump, not because of him. If Trump actually cared about reducing crime, he wouldn't have made unprecedented cuts to public safety programs that actually work."
Trump announces he's taking over the DC police department to rescue the city from "crime, bloodshed, and bedlam."
Violent crime in DC reached a 30 year low in 2024 and is down sharply again this year.
The 2024 violent crime rates per 100,000 people in Washington, DC (926) and Indianapolis Indiana (878) are very similar.
In 2024, you were more likely to experience violent crime in Elkhart, Indiana (995) than DC
It was a beautiful day to celebrate our Dominican community!
New Yorkers from all over came out to Manhattan for the iconic National Dominican Day Parade. Plenty of smiles and the diversity that makes our city so great!
For all the talk Republicans give about giving their localities their rights, where are they now?
If this was anything other than a political ploy and attempted distraction from Trump’s other scandals, if he actually cared about the people of DC, he’d demand the House finally release the billion dollars of DC’s funding they’ve been sitting on for months.

Who am I identifying with?
Who do I want to rise with?
What legacies do I want to continue and live into?”
