It's not. That's what you are missing.[/quote]

It is!!   I’ve lived downtown for 30 years and we lost all enforcement and reporting after defund the police and all the buildings in the area have had to self police.   Not admitting the problem is how we ended up with this tyrant.   [/quote]

The MAGA republicans just defunded MPD earlier this year. Doesn’t anyone read the news? [/quote]

The police budget was never defunded. It actually increased a bit. But as pp says, the white house just took a 20% hack to security  funding.

These are probable facts, not vibes. [/quote]

Can’t help lying… Here are the FACTS. But, sure show me your receipts.

“…reverting to the last year’s budget levels would force D.C. to cut 16% out of what it is currently spending. Per initial estimates from the council, D.C.’s public and charter schools would have to quickly trim some $350 million from their budgets, [b]while the Metropolitan Police Department would have to cut $67 million.[/b] D.C. Fire & EMS would need to slash $42 million in spending, while the Department of Human Services – which handles homelessness and other social services – would be on the hook for $28 million in cuts.”[/quote]

Nice try but those we're projections because the GOP house cut 1 billion of federal funding to DC to try to get their stopgap spending bill passed to avert a government shutdown.
So my question is are you too stupid to read to the end of the article? Too lazy? Or just a dirty liar?
