Update: Senate passed the standalone bill *without* $1B in DC cuts, which — among other things — means the mayor can continue her bid to bring the Commanders unaffected. Per source: Commanders lobbied senators to include language that reversed the DC cuts.

DC Mayor Muriel Bowser tells press ā€œit’s the only reference to sanctuary in dc law… it’s a misnomer for the city. We will work with council to make sure those provisions are raised up..there are questions if it should be in the lawā€ NBC4 Washington

Kinda obscure, but a big deal for public access to DC records: The Court of Appeals ruled today that Bowser has to disclose agency budget requests. Basically, this is how much money agencies say they need (often quite different from what they get): dccourts.gov/sites/default/…

Eleanor Holmes Norton, 87, has been DC's iconic "warrior on the Hill" for 34 years. Now, multiple council members and Norton allies are questioning if it is time for new leadership & if she has the vigor needed to defend DC w/ Marianna Sotomayor & Paul Kane washingtonpost.com/politics/2025/…

Robert McCartney (@mccartneywp) 's Twitter Profile Photo

Tip of hat to WashPost’s Meagan Flynn for getting D.C. Council members to go *on the record* in expressing concern that Eleanor Holmes Norton is too old to be effective as DC’s non-voting congressional delegate. Unlike others, Flynn’s story does not depend on anonymous sources.

Phenomenal reporting by The Washington Post here in how D.C. has failed to successfully address school truancy, and how that’s helped fuel the youth crime we see today. washingtonpost.com/investigations…
