Underlying this article is a basic misunderstanding of how the voucher program actually works, the history of the payment standard, and a hostility toward voucherholders that harkens back to 1990's "welfare queen" fear mongering.

As the Council thinks about spending tax dollars more efficiently in our current budget context, hereâs one place to start. The city could help far more residents with housing if it had a reasonable payment standard. capitalcommonsense.com/p/dc-âŚ

Clean energy is affordable energy â and we have a mandate to make energy more affordable for DC residents.

Somehow, in certain quarters, it has come to be seen as a personal failing to devote oneâs life to improving the world around you. It isnât âdownwardly mobileâ to choose, after college, to be a teacher, a city councilor or an artist. Itâs just a different kind of ambition.
Great article about the DSA newyorker.com/magazine/2026/âŚ

He says the name just fine when heâs begging the Qataris for a personal jet or the Saudis for funding for his son-in-lawâs private equity firm.
Wonder whatâs changed?

Raising revenue and using our dollars effectively aren't mutually exclusive things - in fact, we need both.
We've seen over a decade of mismanaged contracts and patronage by the Bowser admin, and I'm looking forward to working with our new mayor on where we can save costs.

New: The Commanders and the city have pledged the new RFK stadium will be "the most sustainable" football facility in the country...but early plans to have natural gas included as part of the project are raising alarms.
It'd violate a key climate law if it moves ahead:

I heard yâall loud and clear: Weâve got to do something about the rats!
My team and I are preparing to tackle this problem head-on, because we deserve safe and clean streets.
I support RCV but this is a v dumb way to do it for multiple seats & voters definitely didn't know this when they passed 83. Council should amend to single transferable vote like Portland, OR so the majority in this city who are registered Dems have a real say in at large races
The "pick-two" era of D.C. Council at-large races is officially over.
Under ranked-choice voting, does your second vote count? If your #1 choice wins outright, it doesn't.

Its all pretty confusing for folks not super plugged into voting methods but this video was a cute and helpful way to understand how Portland OR does it / an example of how we could do this better while maintaining RCV: youtube.com/watch?v=ItywbxafâŚ

I donât think you have a dog in this fight but if you did you would have shot it.
Iâll take @ellalangleymsic over Kacey Musgraves any day.
And if Iâm choosinâ Texas, Iâll take Ken Paxton over James Talarico.

Council needs to reform this process, so future candidates cant weponize OCF.
Thank goodness @Janeese4DC won.
NEWS: The D.C. Board of Elections just tossed out a $16,000 fine levied by the Office of Campaign Finance in June against @Janeese4DC over allegations that her mayoral campaign impermissibly coordinated with unions. The board said there was no evidence of coordination.
