I wrote about a glaring issue with I83. Are @DCDemocrats aware that their voters will not have a voice in the second At-Large seat? I'm not against rank choice, but this impl is bad washingtonsocialist.mdcdsa.o…

Locked Votes: How Initiative 83's implementation disenfranchises DC

While the initiative to implement ranked-choice voting in DC purported to give voters more power, its implementation may do the opposite.

Would you rather have your taxes paying for all this stuff, or trillions more in military spending & even more tax cuts for billionaires… Workers deserve more! 👉🏾program.dsausa.org🌹

I agree Mr Cain the entitlements are out of control. You start with one price but then it balloons to no end. It’s time to cut entitlements to companies like Raytheon that get fat off of the tax dollars of hard working Americans

Today, Kareem launches the Capital Commonsense meter. The more grating and uninteresting they get, the more the trash fills up

Today Capital Commonsense launches a needle. Our next mayor Janeese Lewis George can take the path of Zohran Mamdani or Brandon Johnson—progressive pragmatist or true believer. Our model will seek to evaluate in a rigorous way how she’s governing. open.substack.com/pub/capita…

Hakeem Jeffries on Morning Joe: The American people don't want us to get even. They want us to get things done on their behalf because life is way too expensive. We ran on affordability, we won on affordability, and now it's our job to govern on affordability.

If we want to fix this issue, we need to get serious about enforcing fair housing laws, coming down on slumlords who warehouse voucherholders, and cleaning up the mess that is DCHA. We shouldn't start by making life harder on people already struggling to make ends meet.

Finally an actually good and informed take on housing in DC
Emily Near (@emilyneardc) profile pictureEmily Near@emilyneardcOct 21
Underlying this article is a basic misunderstanding of how the voucher program actually works, the history of the payment standard, and a hostility toward voucherholders that harkens back to 1990's "welfare queen" fear mongering. teapawt.net/AshleySchapitl/status/…
