We are barreling toward a full blown constitutional crisis.

Trump's announcement that he's ending thousands of aid contracts FUNDED BY CONGRESS is unconstitutional and illegal - and horrible for our security.

1/ A quick🧵on what's going on.

Ret. police officer Michael Fanone, who was injured on Jan. 6 as he defended the Capitol, issues stmt on Jordan: “Jim Jordan is an insurrectionist who has no place being second in line to the presidency... This is a very dark time for our democracy and should serve as a wake up."

@harrriiisivvves @HouseGOP No, I’m referring to those as well. Road and pedestrian safety are actually nice

Fuck you @HouseGOP #DCStatehood

In a draft federal spending bill, House Republicans are proposing a whole slate of new and old restrictions on D.C. The ban on legalizing marijuana sales would remain, the city's assisted suicide law would be repealed, traffic cameras would be banned, right turns on red allowed.

I do not— I really really cannot— understand what makes some people believe they are above homelessness. That if the wrong circumstances happened, it wouldn’t be them. The inability to think “that could be me, here’s how I would want to be treated” is fucking moral rot.

[Jay @jaywillis]

From a homeless man who was hungry and needed care, to a guy who thought it was his right to kill subway riders he deemed too scary, to a media account that justifies murder with passive voice copspeak, this story is just a cascading series of social failures

@BarredinDC Solid State Books on H St has a bar! And I think would be an excellent spot for a read

Reminder that just last month Republicans wore AR-15 pins in place of where their American flag pin would normally go.

Three years ago today, Breonna Taylor was murdered.

Say her name. Keep saying her name.

Justice is building a world where Breonna Taylor would still be alive today.

Just going to leave this here.

@jjones9 @CBSSports He’s still trash… he should pay the fans for having to put up with his arrogance and destroying a legend’s career with his ego.

I need @Bojangles to open a franchise in DC as I am frankly always in need of a Cajun filet biscuit, but especially right now

Elon Musk is a raging narcissist and👇🏼this👇🏼(among many other reasons) is why he/Tesla should not be praised as some ecological solution and savior. Because he’s not. He’s a self-absorbed capitalist.

[Peter Wood @notPeterWood]

While out running this morning, I encountered a man who was about to jump off a bridge near Rock Creek Park to take their own life

Fortunately, I'm trained in suicide intervention and this person is much better now. But I want to share some of our conversation ⤵️

[Read Jackson Rising @JPHilllllll]

Not sure how you call it a democracy when you have cops in the council chambers to prevent protest as you pass a law criminalizing poverty

[MSR @marysums]

I will never get sick of seeing this joke on twitter

[Eleanor #DCStatehood Holmes Norton @EleanorNorton]

Today, the US celebrates a Declaration of Independence based on ending taxation without representation and giving consent to the governed.

Nearly 700,000 DC residents are still taxed without voting representation in Congress and can’t consent to federal laws. #DCStatehood
