Get real, Pollyanna. The city is operating, government services are functional. The rising crime is a problem, but 99.999999% of people are going about their business in the city unimpeded. And it’s still a fraction of the crime during the Crack War years.
Violent crime is up 120% and 80% of students are below grade level. That’s functional?

Republicans didn’t succeed in their coup in 2020 because MPD did not answer to Trump. Control Board 2.0 would ensure that doesn’t happen again.
I’m now starting to understand why certain elements within the federal government keep trying to sandbag DC.

What the hell is Congress going to do about crime? They won't even fix the damn gun problem. Congress is worthless wherever it comes to crime and anyone suggesting a federal takeover is a delusional crackpot.

The first control board was a twofer: DC got federal supervision and discipline, and Marion Barry was stripped of his power. And then the board’s CFO, Anthony Williams, was drafted to run for mayor.

I don't know who is authorized do what but someone needs to do something, sometimes soon. DC can use some of the money, country is spending on supporting wars overseas and illegal immigration right here.

Follow @dccrimefacts for all the data you could want, PP.
The prosecutor of adult crime in DC is the federally appointed USA, whose office declines to prosecute 67% of arrests. The federally appointed judges at DC Superior Court are soft on crime and let felony murderers out pre-trial to commit more crimes, even the USA objected in that case. And the federally appointed judges at the DC Court of Appeals have made it far more difficult than in other jurisdictions for cops to get guns off the street.

In 2023, we've seen a worrying spike in crime: over 900 carjackings, up from 485 last year, with a high percentage involving juveniles and firearms. We've also hit a 20-year high in homicides, matching the grim statistics of 2003. With violent crime up by 40% and property crime by 25%, these aren't just numbers – they represent a growing threat to our safety.
This leads us to a crucial question: should the federal government intervene? The Constitution gives Congress significant power over D.C., allowing it to step in, especially in crisis situations where local governance struggles. This is a rare and complex decision, balancing local autonomy against federal oversight.
Is it time to consider federal action to address these serious safety concerns? Your thoughts on this delicate balance are crucial for a meaningful discussion.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
