Big protest from immigrant organizers in the Wilson Building today demanding an end to MPD cooperation with ICE. A spicy banner, too.

@CMRobertWhiteDC Thanks for this, Councilmember White. Why isn’t our mayor doing the same?????

Situation in DC, on 14th St and W St. NW, with federal agents -- no agency ID'd -- pulling cars over for checks. They arrested a Black woman in this car.

BIG crowd shouting at police.

"Fuck you!"

"What is wrong with you!"

"You don't need to terrorize people like this!"

Elon Musk reportedly spent $40 million dollars on #Superbowl ads calling #USAID
wasteful. Here are just a few ways we would’ve spent $40M:

Parents are pleading: Do something about the air quality in our schools. Kids, they say, keep getting sick, then spread illness among their families.

I love the passive voice that absolves the Mayor of the fact her administration made the decision to kill labor and delivery care EOTR for almost a decade.

[Scott Taylor @ScottTaylorTV]

9 days ago I asked @MayorBowser if she could explain why no district department has a copy of her travel expenses to Miami, Dubai or The Masters.

Plus, why the Miami & Dubai trips are not listed on her annual finacial disclosure forms?

Listen to the Mayor telling me her office will get back to me.

We asked for months for a one-on-one interview and her Communications Director Susana Castillo told us she didn't think our questions rose to the level for the Mayor to do a one-on-one interview. @susi2431

Director Castillo said we should attend a press conference and ask the Mayor our questions.

We asked 9 days ago & I even emailed the Mayor's office again with the same two questions.

So far... crickets. 🦗

@dcfamengagement why is access to testifying at the DCPS budget hearing tonight to restrictive? Not at all a way to engage in an authentic way with your stakeholders.

NEW: 15 minutes were lost during a cardiac arrest yesterday after @dcfireems crews were sent to the wrong location. It's unclear if this is a 911 caller or call-taker mistake. The person called 911 reporting they had trouble breathing. The address entered into the computer was 1901 Gainesville Street SE. The call was dispatched at 9:31 a.m. While still on the phone with 911, the man stopped breathing and his heart stopped beating. At the same time, the crews from Medic 25 and Ambulance 32 found out quickly the address they were dispatched to wasn't correct. No one needed EMS at 1901 Gainesville. When a dispatcher offered to send a truck company to force the door, one of the EMS units responded, "We don't need a truck. We need a correct location." ( into the radio traffic).

While working the neighborhood, the EMS crews figured out the correct building was 1907 Gainesville. That was at 9:46, 15 minutes after dispatch. The crews revived the man. The man's prognosis is unknown.

Here's hoping OUC leadership provides details and supporting documentation to show why the initial dispatch was for a bad address. Hoping @CMBrookePinto asks OUC to come to the next oversight hearing armed with a transcript and computer printout to explain whether the caller or call-taker made this mistake.

@Vote4DC @VictoriaMaloch 👋👋👋 similar problem here. I returned my ballot via drop box five days ago but online tracker still isn’t showing it was received. Voter services doesn’t have any additional info. How can I be sure my vote will be counted?

New ad from the Harris campaign on reproductive freedom, ahead of the VP's speech in Texas on Friday. This is a very tough one to watch, but it's incredibly important to. Thank you so much to Ondrea and Ceasar for trusting us to share their story.

[Scott Goldstein @ScottGoldstein]

Last night while driving home we drove past a car on fire- completely engulfed in flames to the point it looked like it might explode any second. I called 911 and sat on hold for almost THREE MINUTES. Finally saw a cop and alerted them. @OUC_DC has to get it together with 911.

The horrors unfolding in northern Gaza are the result of a completely unrestrained Netanyahu gov, fully armed by the Biden admin while food aid is blocked and patients are bombed in hospitals.

This is a genocide of Palestinians. The US must stop enabling it. Arms embargo now.
