This would throttle DC’s ability to self-govern. The $1b hole in DC‘s budget was caused by Congress, not the District, which has balanced its budget 31 years in a row. We should have the right to implement sound tax policy like any other jurisdiction. #handsoffdc oversight.house.gov/release/chai...

If you have not been outside yet, the air quality is as bad as predicted in DC. There is a haze and it does smell like smoke. Please limit your time outdoors today. Many camps have already announced that children will be indoors today.

Stay indoors if you can and be safe!

🟪 Code Purple air quality alert issued for DC! During Code Purple alert, the risk of health effects is increased for everyone. DC HSEMA is monitoring impacts of Canadian wildfire smoke on the region. Check airnow.gov/dc for air quality updates. Limit time outside during periods of poor air quality

New: A "bottle bill" could soon pass in D.C., but faces big complaints from local businesses (not to mention a major industry lobbying campaign) about its impacts on the economy. Will it make things harder on brewers/liquor stores? Or open up new avenues for entrepreneurs? wamu.org/story/26/07/...

It was so inspiring to join in the groundbreaking for a new @foodandfriendsdc building that will help this amazing organization double the number of medically-tailored meals it delivers each year to people living with serious illnesses.

The bottle bill will remove a huge portion of litter from neighborhoods & parks & rivers. The cost of beverages will won't change—consumers pay the deposit & get it back when they return their empties. It works in 10 states w/more than 90m people. It will work in DC. www.wusa9.com/article/news...

Slide. But don’t exert yourself.

This is another example of Pres. Trump using the military to try to intimidate our citizens. He’s done this across the country and DC has been under occupation for almost a year. DC residents won’t stand for the occupation of our city, our streets or our beloved parks. National Guard please go home.

We passed a budget that restored holes in the social safety net. But we'll have an even bigger hole to fill next year. I'm proposing a Wealth Proceeds Tax to make sure the budget isn't balanced on the backs of those who can least afford it. brianneknadeau.com/fy27-budget-...

The Tax Revenue Commission absolutely dropped the ball. But they also vetted some pretty good solutions, including a Wealth Proceeds Tax. @maustermuhle.bsky.social

Advocates say Bowser’s budget will worsen food access in DC

The mayor proposed eliminating an office that has helped low-income students access food over the summer and made it easier to start farmers markets.

Happy Pride Month, D.C.! I will always celebrate and stand up for our LGBTQ+ community. The Pride flag flying outside of the Wilson Building serves as our reminder that the District is for everyone.

It was great to join the community today to unveil the sign for Henry E. Baker Alley. This recognizes Henry Edwin Baker for his pioneering efforts in documenting & preserving the achievements of Black inventors & innovators. The Columbia Heights community celebrates his extraordinary legacy.

POTUS sends armed thugs into our community to instill fear and exert power. I’m proud of neighbors who care for each other and turn out on a moment’s notice to stand together against fascism, who show what it means to be a supportive and protective community. We will not back down. We will persist.

There's video circulating on Insta of a tense scene in Mt. Pleasant last night: More than a dozen federal agents were in Lamont Plaza arresting a man for an open container violation. A woman holding a bat began heckling them, prompting US Marshals to draw their guns on her.

✅ Safe public spaces. ✅ More access to food. ✅ Healthcare for those without. ✅ More housing for families. ✅ Fewer rats, more public restrooms! ✅ Improved public spaces. The budget is better than when we got it AND we have lots still to do. Let’s go! brianneknadeau.com/lets-plug-so...

In an extremely difficult budget year, our committee was able to transfer funds to every other committee and fill gaps in the social safety net created by the Mayor’s proposal, including to support more people in temporary housing, access to food, wellness for seniors, and programming for teens.

The proposed budget is unfairly balanced on the backs of working families, while no sacrifice is being asked of wealthy residents who can give more. My proposal is simple: restore childcare, paid family leave, and healthcare with a modest surcharge on passive wealth.

Alex Koma@alexkoma.bsky.social · 3mo ago

A big lobby day at the Wilson Building today by @wearedcaction.bsky.social arguing for the reversal of planned cuts to childcare/healthcare programs. @brianneknadeau.bsky.social is speaking in support of new 2% surcharge on passive income to do so.

I’ve worked to contribute to housing vouchers in every budget I’ve worked on as CM. There’s no way I was going to break that streak now, even in a tight budget. The need is too great. More on a Housing Committee markup that prioritizes affordable housing:

Nonprofits are indispensable partners in carrying out the District’s mission—from providing housing & food access to youth programming & healthcare. They shouldn't have to dip into their own funds to cover "indirect costs" the behind-the-scenes support that makes those services possible.

When a business repeatedly violates noise ordinances or operating hours, sells something it’s not allowed to, doesn't pass health inspections or doesn’t give a refund when it should–and then continues to operate, flouting laws and not paying fines–that’s not right. lims.dccouncil.gov/Legislation/...
