As Community Planning Month comes to a close, I want to reflect on what neighborhood planning has meant to #ColumbiaHeightsDC, what it has produced, and what it means for DC 2050 and beyond. @ANC1A approved the resolution I introduced to recognize the month.🧵

October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month.   Earlier this year, we proposed legislation to enhance protection for victims and to help address troubling trends in domestic violence-related crimes in our city.   But legislation isn't enough. We must all work together to end the cycle of violence and protect survivors.   If you or someone you know is a victim of domestic violence, there are resources available.   Contact the DC Victim Hotline: 1-844-443-5732

We are resharing this alert because third-party energy companies continue to target DC residents with aggressive sales practices. Remember: 1️⃣ You're not required to show anyone your energy bill. 2️⃣ Companies claim they will save you money but often end up charging higher rates.
⚠️ DC CONSUMER ALERT ⚠️ Multiple companies are using deceptive tactics to trick or pressure DC residents into changing energy providers — then charging higher rates. We are alerting residents about this third-party energy company scam and how they can avoid becoming a victim.

NEW: Meta will pay up to $129 million to DC for exploiting children with intentionally addictive social media. Instagram and Facebook will adopt sweeping child safety protections to transform how social media platforms protect kids. This is the largest big tech settlement ever.

Let's talk trash, @DCDPW and @DC_OCA. Yesterday, I went to every trash receptacle in my district to document its condition and clean up what your workers continue to leave behind week after week, month after month. But let's talk more about the real problem...🧵1/8

I was thrilled to join the teachers, staff, parents, and neighbors this morning to welcome Tubman ES students to their new building and clap them in as they start the new school year. They even had a little processional from Tubman Field up Irving St. to the front entrance! 1/2
Hey, DC families! 👋🏾 We're 2 days away from the first day of school, and incredibly excited to welcome all our learners back into the classroom for another successful school year. You’re invited to join us on Monday to clap our students back into school. forms.cloud.microsoft/Pages/…

I had the pleasure of attending Tubman ES’s Back to School Bash, touring the new building and meeting administrators, teachers, and instructional aides. The new building is as stunning on the inside as it is on the outside! I’m excited for Tubman students to enjoy it this SY! 1/2
The fact that @dcpublicschools delivered this new building a year ahead of schedule is great🙌🏽! A win for #ColumbiaHeightsDC families. Huge thanks to my colleague @billyez2, parents, school officials, and agencies for their work on this; major thanks to the contractors/subs!

The Public Defender Service has weighed in on behalf of the D.C. man, arguing that allowing an eviction to proceed before a court has determined some level of guilt for a violent crime could raise constitutional concerns of self-incrimination and lack of a jury trial.

The federal government is moving to transfer control of the D.C. Armory, longtime home of the D.C. National Guard, over to D.C. The Armory is on the footprint of the RFK site, where the new Commanders stadium development will be built. But what happens with it is questionable.

Check out the new art piece outside the fully renovated Harriett Tubman elementary school! Working with parents and school officials to design this building was one my favorite projects as an ANC

This evening, I walked through my entire district to capture the stormwater drains and catch basins on every block. As we approach fall, I will be calling on @dcwater to clear these drains/basins of leaves, debris, and sediment, and to install guards to keep them clean. 1/6

Metro has signed a pair of agreements with D.C. to start working on two Commanders stadium projects: the $300 million expansion of the Stadium-Armory station and initial planning for the Gold Line bus rapid transit line from Union Station to the stadium (along H and Benning).

D.C.’s streatery program isn’t just shrinking. Its geography is changing, too. A City Cast DC analysis shows that entire wards and neighborhoods have dropped off of the streatery map. @Kaela_CS @alyssafowers dc.citycast.fm/business-deve…

Thompson just made it official. In his resignation letter, he ends with one last argument that "rising energy prices are not attributable to any one agency, group or thing." "To meet this moment, a finger pointing approach will not work," he added.
News: Emile Thompson, the chair of the Public Service Commission regulating electric/gas utilities, is resigning Aug. 14, per multiple sources. He's been under a ton of pressure amid rising bills: and just chaired a lengthy hearing on a major Washington Gas project. Background:

I applaud @DCAttorneyGen's action to hold this housing provider accountable and to get justice for the displaced residents who had long called Columbia Heights home. @ANC1A approved a resolution in October 2024 calling for coordinated agency action. (1/3)
NEW: We are suing two Ward 1 landlords for horrific housing conditions, including a gas explosion that displaced 50 people. Two years later, the building is still uninhabitable. We're fighting to get these homes repaired and secure money back for DC and tenants who were harmed.
