There has been another shooting involving federal agents in Minneapolis and I am working to get more information. I will update as soon as possible. To the Trump administration and the Republicans in Congress who have stood silent: Get ICE out of our state NOW.

You have to send out the national guard, Governor.

I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.
The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

Masked federal agents in Minnesota just shot and killed another person.
We must put a stop to Trump’s ICE. Now.
Stop the funding, stop the occupations, stop the killings.

Piloting a phone-free program in our middle schools since School Year (SY) 2022-23 has demonstrated to us the clear benefits of storing students' personal devices during the school day.
For SY 2025-26, DCPS will implement a district-wide phone policy: dcps.dc.gov/cellphones 📴

There's growing pessimism on the D.C. Council that the House will ever act on the bill to fix the $1.1 billion hole it created in the city's local budget. "It's not clear it will happen," says @ChmnMendelson, who has been speaking to people on Capitol Hill about it.

The House CR has lots of problems, but a big one is that it restricts how the District of Columbia spends its OWN money. This doesn't save a single federal tax dollar—it just treats DC residents like pawns.
It's undemocratic and un-American. I will fight it on the Senate floor.

Traitor?
Elon, if you don’t understand that defending freedom is a basic tenet of what makes America great and keeps us safe, maybe you should leave it to those of us who do.

DC has been operating under a congressionally approved budget for 6 months.
Now, DC could be forced to cut $1 billion halfway through our fiscal year—impacting public safety, health and human services, and education.
It's not good for DC, and it's not good for our nation.

It's shaping up to be a *very bad week* for D.C. The draft congressional spending bill to avert a federal shutdown would force D.C. to trim $945 million from its current fiscal year budget, which would spark immediate cuts to programs and staff. From @PattyMurray:

What a real president acts like.
Like so many of you, I'm celebrating the incredible women in my life today. International Women's Day is a time to recognize the achievements of women and girls everywhere and recommit our efforts to advance dignity, opportunity, and equality for all. When women and girls succeed, communities, economies, and democracies succeed.
