This is Donna Cooper. Previously Pepco’s top lobbyist. She got him to kill an energy affordability measure in 2018. It costs DC families $300-$500 a year. Hundreds of millions for Pepco. A few mins waving a sign. Good deal for Pepco, bad deal for DC. www.hillrag.com/2026/06/01/c...

An interesting fact: D.C. has already received 18,000 individual tax returns and 300 corporate returns. The Republican resolution repealing the city's tax law passed the House today, and if it passes the Senate and is signed by the president, many of those returns will have to be redone.

The phrase "professional activist" is functionally meaningless. It's a term that politicians and corporate targets have used for generations to discredit anyone who's effectively challenged them. Anyone who deploys it in earnest to discredit deeply committed people is broadcasting their ignorance.

Nadeau blaming the Uncommitted campaign for Trump is such tired bullshit. Uncommitted voters, of which I am one, were largely loyal Democrats who wanted to influence their party and were all but expelled for their tenacity.

Hundreds of DC residents, from school children to grandmothers, flooded the halls of the Capitol every day this week demanding DC's autonomy be respected. Thousands more wrote and called House and Senate offices insisting that DC's local dollars be spent by DC's local government.

Today the Senate passed a continuing resolution that cuts DC’s budget by over $1 billion of our own tax dollars. Then they passed a bill to restore our budget, which now goes back to the House. But DC isn't a line item, and Congress shouldn't be playing politics with our city.
