Hey DC Public Schools parents! Afterschool registration opens tomorrow, May 21 at noon. There’s a new system. Take a few minutes and register/create a parent profile in advance. most.dc.gov They tell me that the system isn’t going to crash as in years past. 🤞🏾

US overdose deaths declined by nearly 27% last year. Lots of reasons why we’re seeing the reversal and outpatient treatment is part of it. If Republicans are successful in cutting Medicaid, those overdose numbers will surely climb again.

Last year, I sent a letter to the Chancellor for DC Public Schools calling for major changes to the enrollment process for afterschool programs. We met & discussed, and he promised an overhaul. DCPS delivered. Shout out to the OST team & the IT team who built the portal!! 👏🏾👏🏾

Not sure how removing the requirement that silencers be registered w/ ATF clears the Byrd rule. Also, I'm with Rep. Neguese -- who held out their vote for this change?

It’s FY26 Budget Day! While we wait for the Budget Support Act to be loaded, the Fiscal Impact Statement from the CFO does provide mini summaries of each subtitle. static1.squarespace.com/static/5bbd09f…

Restricting who can access the COVID vaccine right when a new strain —that has led to a surge in hospitalizations—hits the US doesn’t seem like the best idea. cbsnews.com/news/covid-var…

High-impact tutoring has been a game changer for some of our students who have struggled with literacy. Yesterday, I visited Harmony DC PCS in Ward 5 to see the Reading Assist program in action. An extra treat — I got to go with my friend LGKyleEvansGay.

HHS has acknowledged they messed up the citations with the MAHA Report, using studies that don't exist to support its conclusions. They've added new citations...that make more mistakes and don't support the report's conclusions. notus.org/health-science…

Part 1 of our budget oversight hearing for the Department of Behavioral Health was illuminating. Thank you to the public witnesses who participated & shared their thoughts on how the proposed FY26 budget would impact them.
