[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It is bananas how the mayor and city council and Eleanor Holmes Norton are completely awol during all of this. WTF. [/quote] The mayor has been reasonably vocal — which makes sense given the power that the president actually has over DC and her ability to do her job. I haven’t paid attention to the city council or the non-voting minority party Norton and Representation in the Senate. What exactly do you expect them to do? The Republicans in Congress are possibly delighted with all of this and are definitely not going to go up against Trump and risk his ire for DCs non-voting Democrats. So, not absent — but definitely outnumbered and overpowered under the circumstances. I hope anyone with complaints at least supported statehood for DC, which would have given our congressional representatives actual voting power and given our mayor at least the power and autonomy of a governor— without all of the federal oversight.
