In fairness to DC, it’s a great place to be if you enjoy being assaulted in your own neighborhood & just generally feeling unsafe.
If you've been asking yourself where should I move next? Well, you might want to cross Washington, D.C. off your list.

So let me get this straight: You can steal a car w/ someone in it and then crash it, resulting in the death of the passenger & not be held liable for their death (or kidnapping). But if law enforcement pursues someone and the person fleeing dies as a result, it’s murder?

Feel bad laughing about this, but my three year old son saw this on my phone & asked who it was + what was wrong.
So I reminded him that he met Mr. Clarke at the Eastern Market metro stop back in the fall.

on numerous occasions & found him to be smug, condescending, and dismissive of constituents who disagrees with his view on public safety.

Between the

’s continued failure & dereliction of duty, I’m afraid the reality is that things are going to get much, much worse before it gets better here in our nation’s capital.
Thanks to Fox5 for including a resident's anger at the USAO in this clip:
"MPD does all the arrests, but we don't actually prosecute which is infuriating. There's historically low averages right now. This is insane, they're getting kids killed."

DC Residents: PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THE CRIME CRISIS!!
@DCAttorneyGen
: How about we take your gas stoves & call it even?
NEW: Today, I’m leading 11 AGs calling for federal action to address the health & safety risks of gas stoves, which emit pollutants that have a disparate negative impact on children & underserved communities and put DC residents at risk of asthma and other respiratory illnesses.

Believe it or not, I love DC & am excited to start a family, raise a kid, & build a life here. Just sick of progressive DC politicians using us as guinea pigs for their social experiments & the detrimental impact it’s having on life for folks across the District.

He & I had a complicated relationship the last ten years or so of his life, & one of my few regrets in life is not making it home in time to make amends or say goodbye before he passed.
