Now it’s time for the only strongly worded letters that matter- subpoenas.
No - no, no, NO!
The Democrats need to get past the centrist hacks and the meritocracy. People voted for CHANGE AGENTS, not for focus group addicts who only speak in platitudes.
One of the newly minted progressives - one who took zero AIPAC dollars - should be Speaker.

Elon Musk wasted $400M on this election season for nothing—which makes every American a winner.

Democrats have already started taxing the rich- starting out by lighting $500 million of Elon Musk‘s money on fire.

You know who doesn’t matter anymore?
John Fetterman.

Hundreds of Minnesotans are leaving their "I voted" stickers at the site where Alex Pretti was murdered by ICE agents.

Please, @Janeese4DC, choose the Mamdami model. DC won't break free of the entrenched agency fiefdoms that defy transparency, oversight, and accountability, unless they are pulled out by the roots. Truly make your administration Of, For, and By The People.
Janeese Lewis George officially becomes Mayor-elect today and while she will immediately face tough decisions, the most important one will be whether she chooses the governing path of the progressive pragmatist (Mamdani) or ideological true believer (Johnson.)
She should choose the Mamdani path—it’s the successful—and popular—one.

Kenyan McDuffie switched party affiliations twice and no one questioned him the same way as you people are doing @CMCHenderson.
Again: I encourage all Councilmembers to introduce a bill that makes all District-level elected offices nonpartisan.
Given this is a functionally one-party town the need for party labels is absurd. The DC Charter and the Home Rule Act do not require political parties.

If you believe Europe gave Greenland to the U.S. as a gift, then you also believe the Easter Bunny is real.
For the rest of us, go vote and get ten of your friends and family members to vote by the end of Election Day today.
Punish the liars @StateDept at the ballot box.
PRESIDENT TRUMP on EUROPE: They just gave the United States the greatest gift we were ever given. Do you know what it was? Greenland.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Greenland remains a self-governing territory of Denmark and was not given to the United States. A September 2026 security agreement expands US military cooperation but reaffirms Danish sovereignty over the island.

When Lindsay Graham passed away and his seat was given to his sister (Darline Graham Nordone) I thought they were referring to her as Darline Graham for name recognition reasons, but now I know it’s because her husband (Larry Nordone) works for a company connected to a Chinese firm that was sanctioned in 2024 for supplying military technology to Russia. The more you know. I guess…
