I think one of the biggest issues is people not knowing how government works and who does what! Regardless of what you think of her, Smith and MPD not responsible for prosecution and sentencing. Go yell at the AG or US Attorney for DC about that!

Ward 4 needs a Councilmember that holds regular office hours with the community. I want the Ward 4 community to know when and where they have access to me - not a surrogate.

lost Ward 3 race and now cosplaying as Councilmember while doing nothing for SBOE 😏
He has consistently sided with criminals over his constituents. He has made our neighborhood unsafe with his policies. And he is the leader in these stupid bike lanes than nobody can figure out. I am sure he is nice guy personally, but he has been a disaster on the DC Council.
Tell me the DC Police Union is behind the recall campaign, without telling me DC Police Union is behind the recall campaign… what a bunch of 🤡🤡🤡🤡 led by

There is a really harmful provision in Secure DC to make theft of any item worth more than $500 a felony punishable by up to 10 years in prison.
This would be extreme and completely ineffective at addressing the issue.
Tomorrow I will move an amendment to block it. Here is why:

It wasn’t like this even 5 years ago. Proud that my neighbors in Ward 6 have also had enough.

unwillingness to prosecute local crime has contributed to DC safety issues. Graves is touting a 55% rate (was 44%) when other cities are 80-90%. We deserve better
She voted to Defund MPD by 15M.
The crime stats reflect the ineffective decision and now DC residents are paying—with their cars, homes, property and lives.
So
@recallallen
why aren’t you recalling McDuffie who introduced that amendment and the other 7 council members who voted for it under this argument? 🤔🤔🤔
We seek to

Really

? It took a news report re: 70% truancy for you to act? This did not happen overnight. You never asked how many kids didn’t come back to online classes during COVID or why a kid could show up for 10 minutes online to be counted as present for the whole day.
Perhaps the most moving moment at our 1st volunteer event came when we asked for a show of hands of those or know others who have been carjacked, Far too many raised their hands. It is for them & many others that we are determined to

How’s this different from liquor stores? The idea is that you just restrict sales, why does it matter where they are located? Is it different from being 300ft of a home in a neighborhood?
Cannabis retailers are not & should not be permitted within 300ft of schools/rec centers.
I intro'd an emergency bill to close a loop hole in the cannabis retailer licensing process and ask my colleagues to support.
This is smart policy that supports students, families & biz.

Ebony Payne’s DC Ward 7 campaign SHOCKS DC elites with her finance report last night showing she has raised over $42,000 from over 1000 individuals donors! It’s a great start, but we got a long way to go. Please donate and share
@RealSteveBeam
He isn’t up for reelection for 5 years. We don’t have time! DC will save money with Allen gone. Less crime = more business = bigger tax base. Just say you like crime instead of making up excuses.
We need 2,000 signatures to be on the ballot for this primary. For an easy way to help, join us TOMORROW, Saturday, January 13th at 10am at Busboys on 14th and V. You can sign my petition there or take some for friends to sign. Let’s get the job done!

So all 6 other Walgreens robberies in Chinatown appear to have been inside jobs by a Walgreens manager, who was working in the same store as the Special Police Officer, yet had his ‘co-worker’ robbed of his gun last time & shooting the gunman (he knew) this time… welcome to DC!
If you are the big boss and your right hand + longtime confidante

If wealthy homeowners like Goulet paid more taxes we’d have more money for public schools and programs like SNAP and housing vouchers. But Goulet wants fiscal responsibility to hurt poor people in DC 🙄🙄🙄
That is shocking! I’m very surprised that

So
@DCDemocrats
, do the “Democratic principles you uphold” include celebrating DC being controlled by Congress and the federal government? Thought you were fighting for DC statehood? 😏
This guy is truly clueless no wonder Hilary lost Michigan when he was leading her Comms there 🤭 The whole debate was about lowering threshold for theft felony (At least decade in jail) from $1000 to $500. Mitch wants people to spend decades in prison for stealing an iPhone!
Absolute insanity.

Get in the stopping the recall bus babes! Fundraising is one thing, but how many donors are actually registered Ward 6 voters who can vote in the recall? FYI most hill staffers keep their OG state voter registration & many lobbyists live in VA or MD 🤭🤭🤭
#NoRecall4Charles
Things are heating up in Ward 6: Marcella Hilt and Rosina Memolo filed to create a "No Recall" fundraising committee yesterday:
Clearly, they have a ways to catch up in the fundraising race.
D.C. has more new restaurants per 100K people than any state in the country. Openings are up 6% since 2019. And
@RAMWdc
tracked nearly double the amount of openings to closures last year.
Stop with the nonsense! It is obvious that nothing is enough unless you give the Recallers what they want: unlimited police power with no accountability or transparency. This is a tactic to recall & elect their candidates during low turnout special elections
“I’m sick of having to ask employees at CVS to unlock my shampoo or laundry detergent because of theft in this city.”
If someone steals a bottle of shampoo, I say give them 50-70 years minimum so I won’t have this first world problem 🙄🙄🙄
We cannot let DC become like San Francisco. The laws need to be enforced, and if that means harsh penalties for breaking the law, then so be it. I’m sick of having to ask employees at CVS to unlock my shampoo or laundry detergent because of theft in this city.

-Youth Rehabilitation Act doesn’t apply to first & second degree murder
Oh damnnnn how can I survive this drag! At least I don’t post fake news like a shoplifting video in Oakland CA and say it’s happening in Janeese’s ward or a photo of a CVS that closed years ago and say it closed recently because of DC crime for clout 🤭🤭🤭🤭

Actually really need one amendment: minimum of 20 years for people who get arrested for stiffing their frat bruhs then threatening them, then talk about crime as if they aren’t criminals 🤭🤭🤭
Just like the first vote, keep an eye out on the amendments that will water this legislation down.
The unanimous vote is a switch and bait to trick the public into thinking they are doing something meaningful.
If passed with NO amendments then that’s something to celebrate.
That’s it, we are canceling all hill staffers who were at that house party with the dnc version of fight song! That’s not DC, that’s your lil Hill bubble, stop giving us bad rep 🤭🤭🤭🤭
