Fine to disagree on tax policy, but not fine to work with GOP to significantly limit DC home rule. If DoorDash thinks DC will accept them intervening in our tax code, they don't deserve our business. I've deleted my DoorDash account and encourage others to do the same.

This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.

BREAKING: in April 2026, *every single one* of the 1,570 refugees admitted in the United States were white South Africans. In FY 2026, the U.S. has admitted a total of 6,066 white South Africans, three Afghans (back in November 2025), and nobody else.

This FIFA ruling against the Palestinian Football Association is just so ridiculously weak. An embarrassing abdication of FIFA's responsibility to its own statutes & its publicly-stated commitment to human rights. inside.fifa.com/organisation...
screenshot that reads: "Decision on proposal made by the Palestine Football Association

Following the submission made by the Palestine Football Association at the 74th FIFA Congress and the subsequent request made by the FIFA Council to the FIFA Governance, Audit and Compliance Committee (GACC) to investigate the participation in Israeli competitions of Israeli football teams allegedly based in the territory of Palestine, the following was concluded:

FIFA should take no action given that, in the context of the interpretation of the relevant provisions of the FIFA Statutes, the final legal status of the West Bank remains an unresolved and highly complex matter under public international law. 

FIFA should continue to promote dialogue and offer mediation between the Palestine Football Association and The Israel Football Association at an operational level. In this context, FIFA will continue to facilitate structured engagement and monitor developments."

@janeese4dc.bsky.social The two things that make my DC life most aggravating: lax enforcement of pedestrian safety laws (when I die it'll be because a delivery bike ran me over in a crosswalk) and the dang RATS. Would love to hear your plans for pedestrian safety and pest management!

WOW. The Trump admin said they will review social media and deny immigration benefits to people saying antisemitic claims. They're even trying to deport people with green cards on alleged claims of antisemitism. Anyway, here's a tweet from an Afrikaner they flew here on Monday.

This is exactly the rationale used for the internment of Japanese Americans. It was, the fact that we lack any evidence of sabotage means that Japanese Americans are sneaky and good at hiding it. Insane.

Despite Elon Musk's claim that the foreign aid freeze hasn't killed anyone yet, Nick Kristof finds ample evidence to the contrary. In South Sudan, HIV-positive mothers and children who lost access to lifesaving drugs have died. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

A journey through the front lines of global poverty shows that when the world’s richest men slash aid for the world’s poorest children, the result is sickness, starvation and death.
