Everything DC is a "great argument against statehood" for colonialists.

It's not a very high bar to seem smarter than Bowser.

Unfortunately, Ms. Albert assumed her DC position under a cloud. There's substantial criticism of her immediately-prior role with the GSA. She stands accused as a GSA official of ignoring the established process and findings of an FBI site selection committee and putting her thumb on the scale for a Greenbelt site owned by Metro, where she previously worked.

There's no cloud. She is not a Bowser flunky. Her reputation speaks for itself. She worked for Metro but lives in DC. She doesn't have a dog in that hunt.

VA is just mad. Can't they just be happy with the Wizards?

Too bad that Bowser didn't try harder to get the FBI to stay in DC. Her concept of the DC economy seems to revolve around more condos and baristas, rather than keeping the big employers that we have. Belatedly she's panicked about the Caps and Wizards and demanding that Biden order federal workers back to their offices all the time.

This is absolutely true. She doesn't get how hard it is to operate a business here.

The huge rents, smashed storefronts and theft can't be that enticing to a business owner. This sucks. As a DC resident I want businesses I can walk to, I feel for them and also understand completely if they up and move. I want to!

Bowser needs MPD to step up.

The activists don’t want them to stop suspects.
The Council made pursuits all but illegal.
Racine and Schwalb have gutted juvenile justice.
The USAO won’t prosecute the most serious cases.
The Superior Court and Court of Appeals benches are stacked with former PDS attorneys.
And after Allen and the Council stopped hiring, there are 500 fewer officers now than there were going into 2020.

The violence interrupters are going to have to step up.

The upside to a Trump victory would be a new USAO that would prosecute violent criminals. And over time, new federal judges that will actually put these serial criminals in prison.

But the rest of it us up to DC voters. And I have zero faith in voters here electing tough on crime legislators that will put more police on the streets and allow them to their jobs. It's not just Bowser. It's the entire Council. As Obama always said, elections have consequences and this is what DC voters have chosen for themselves. I don't foresee that changing.

What makes her think we aren't going to brown bag it if we are forced to come into the city more? I'm not all that interested in paying $20 for a half-assed subpar sandwich or salad. Nor $26 to park. If we did that every work day it's $12,000. Sorry Muriel, they don't pay feds enough for that.

Congratulations, shitbag suburban DC government employees! "It's not my responsibility to support shltty DC businesses." Another long time local business stabbed in the back by your laziness. You are replacable. I wish you immediate and long lasting unemployment.

Hi! We go to good restaurants and bars that opened up in our local communities out in the burbs. DC is not our responsibility and definitely not interested in sticking around for expensive subpar food/service or going through a gauntlet of mentally ill vagrants to get there

LOL.

Bowser is a joke and her inability to do any good for this city combined with her reelections means that she is a great argument against statehood. Take her $500 million for Leonsis, after he had been turned down by VA as an example. Her desire to give away every piece of public land she can in the name of development is a dereliction of her duties to us residents. Her failure to combat crime - the police literally just stopped work and restarted when Council agreed to their demands but before the law went into effect - is another example. She has surrounded herself with cronies in her little coterie economy, while city services just aren't working.

Have you ever been to this place? It was trash. It should be closed. We don't need you. We have lots of amazing restaurants that we DC residents can support.

A teenage suspect was shot by US Marshals on Friday after allegedly attempting to carjack Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor’s federal bodyguards outside her home, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.

Metropolitan Police Department confirmed it was investigating a shooting that took place in the Northwest Washington, DC. where two marshals were on-duty working ‘a protective detail’ in the early hours of July 5.

A Deputy US Marshal was sitting in his car outside the top judge’s condominium at 1:15am when 18-year-old Kentrell Flowers approached, pointed a handgun at him, and tried to steal his vehicle, according to a police report obtained by DailyMail.com.

Not a good idea to be in the street in DC at 1:15am unless you have a gun and a permit to use it.
