Mayor Bowser, "shared priorities" with this administration means having masked agents disappear our neighbors in the middle of the night. It means soldiers with assault rifles in our neighborhoods. It means arresting children. These are the priorities of a dictator. DC does not share them.

Bowser welcomes federal law enforcement presence indefinitely

this is an attack on workers. and it's also in the budget. DC voters approved I-82 with a stunning margin. Council Members are ignoring the 74% of Washingtonians who voted for a livable wage for restaurant workers.
