@JesseRodriguez @maddow Gee. There is a little law. It’s called the Posse Comitatus Act and it prohibits military officers from acting as law enforcement personnel. Someone at DOD might want to read it.

As an ANC Commissioner, I have repeatedly supported liquor license renewals for the Hill Restaurant Group. That support stops now. Pulling my support b/c Tom Johnson is refusing to comply with @MayorBowser direction to reduce seating and therein limit spread of #coronavirus.
Restaurant group defying @MayorBowser #coronavirus order for restaurants to drastically reduce seating. Owner of Hill Restaurant Group which owns 7 Capitol Hill eateries tells @nbcwashington “let her shut us down”

@HalloweenBlogs @JesseRodriguez @maddow @DeptofDefense That’s where this is going to get interesting. Who makes the decision that this is an illegal order? The individual JAG? The TJAG?.

@HalloweenBlogs @JesseRodriguez @maddow @DeptofDefense DOD has political lawyers. My guess is that the political lawyers didn’t give the military lawyers an opportunity to review this request.

@realDonaldTrump @JimInhofe Fort Rucker was named after a family member and I support changing its name. Grateful to all the descendants of Confederate leaders who support changing names of @USArmy bases, removing statutes and portraits from US Capitol (TY @SpeakerPelosi) and banning #ConfederateFlag.

Called 911 to request assistance today. 32 degrees & a barely clothed woman, steps from Union Station, was in extremis. MPD just called and told me that she was dead. @MayorBowser I’d like to work with you to make sure that no one else dies b/c of cold weather & lack of shelter.

Last month, MPD officers questioned 3 young boys in front of Fragers. I requested that MPD brief ANC6B on this interaction. Also requested that MPD share body camera video as part of community briefing. MPD wants me to pay $5387. Seeking waiver. @DR_6B09 @LorenzoANC7C04

ANCs aren’t paid. We don’t have staff. We do however have DC govt emails. If you’re angry about Dave Salovesh’s death & want to do something, ask your ANC to email Mayor Bower & demand safer streets. Share these govt emails on Twitter. Create a public record that forces action.
Sharing oversight email I sent to Mayor Bowser. 16th and Independence Ave SE is a dangerous intersection. She and DDOT know about the problem, yet they’re refusing to act. A child was hurt today because of this inaction. Tomorrow, someone could die.

Over the past 4 years, I’ve repeatedly testified before the DC Council. @tweetelissa is the only Councilmember who consistently shows up to hearings, ask questions, doesn’t read emails on the dais, and stays awake. I’m voting for Elissa on November 6th.
Our sole endorsement goes to Ms. (Dionne) Reeder. Her experience & sensibilities would bring needed balance to a legislative body that too often caters to the activists who pack council hearings and not to the businesses & residents who must foot the bills

During my afternoon walk around DC National Guard Armory, I learned that MPD is deputizing Florida & Missouri NG today. Puzzled, I asked why. To give them authority to detain folks, including DC residents, on DC streets. Anyone else have a problem w/ this practice? #dcprotest.

Another major @stevesthompson scoop: D.C. Council member Jack Evans repeatedly urged law firms to hire him by touting his influence as the city's longest-serving lawmaker

Dave Salovesh died today while biking in DC. Sharing his 2018 thoughts on #VisionZeroDC, @MayorBowser “signature program”. Sadly #VisionZeroDC didn’t protect Dave. It’s a deadly myth. #VisionZero.
@kdrkrepp @DR_6B09 @DDOTDC @luzcita It's stunning to see DC #VisionZero referred to as a "signature program". I'd wager a pair of streetcar passes at least 90% of DC residents couldn't cite a single example of change as a result of VZ. And with stats trending so wrong it's hard to remain in support of VZ in DC.

Agree w/ WP. DC voters need to pay attention to what really matters. @tweetelissa holds DC agencies (DCRA, DDOT, and DMPED) accountable for their actions. Elissa attends hearings and asks questions. She’s not a rubber stamp. Vote for Elissa on Election Day.
From the Editorial Board: D.C. voters should tune out all the identity politics

Mayor Bowser, you’ve had multiple conversations with Amazon re #HQ2 but you’ve never spoken w/ Reservation 13 neighbors about it. As Chair of the Hilleast Taskforce I’m inviting you to our October mtg. We’d like to learn more about your plans for our neighborhood. @MayorBowser.
My response on Amazon coming to the region - “In regards to Amazon, we are in every conversation and we are at the top of the list. I think that is amazing for a region that is known for Congress and the Federal Government.”.

At Hilleast Taskforce mtg tonight, DMPED rep repeatedly questioned about WP story re Mayor Bowser working w/ Dan Snyder & Congress to bring NFL back to RFK. Each time, @DMPEDDC claimed it wasn’t happening. So #Hilleast, who should we believe? Washington Post or @MayorBowser?.
The language under discussion would extend the city's lease on RFK land for 99 years and remove restrictions on development. That alone would not guaranteed the stadium would be built; MD could still make a play.

Disagree w/ Jack Evans. #unitetheright protestors should not receive special treatment from #WMATA. Riding @WMATA isn’t a right. It’s a privilege that comes with the expectation that you will treat fellow riders with respect.

Chairman Mendelson @ChmnMendelson, on behalf of residents of ANC6B10, I respectfully request that Tuesday’s DC Council mtg w/ Jack Evans be televised. My residents want to hear what Councilmember Evans has to say regarding his actions on the #WMATA board.
Mendelson says the Council will not televise the Tuesday meeting with Jack Evans, noting at least one reporter will live stream and there's a TV pool. "There's nothing secret about this," he said.
