@Crimealytics Gosh, and the Qepubliqans still refuse to notice the connection between poverty and crime.

@Crimealytics @jdawsey1 This is fact. I live in Louisiana and we have a massive crime issue. Protect our citizens ..lol.

@Crimealytics @jdawsey1 If Steve Scalise is speaking, it’s fair to assume that he’s either lying or saying something extremely stupid.

@Crimealytics @Keith_Whitmire The better idea to statehood would be to include DC residents in Maryland for Presidential and Congressional elections. A relatively small city shouldn’t get 2 Senators.

@Crimealytics Touche

@Crimealytics Hell be happy to know that they don’t actually run themselves. That distinction goes to, checks notes, Congress.

@Crimealytics But when it happens in the Deep South it's quirky and endearing.

@Crimealytics So the argument is that under Congressional oversight, D.C. is a crime-ridden hellhole...thus Congress should retain supervision and not allow a different manner of governing?

@Crimealytics @Rachel_McRea 31 ya say? Well then he should know, no?

@Crimealytics @Patbagley We’ve had the highest rate of jacka** representatives for about that long, also.

@Crimealytics my home state of tennessee is one of the most violent states in the union! . #DCStatehood #dcstatehoodnow #gopcowards

@Crimealytics @DCFoodPundit Imagine if Mayor Bowser had authority to activate the DC Guard on Jan 6th.

@Crimealytics @DCFoodPundit He should have used DC’s Unemployment system failures over the last year. It would have been a better argument!

@Crimealytics Glass houses, Scalise. Glass houses.

@Crimealytics Meanwhile @SteveScaliseGOP can't clean up his own backyard.
