Defunds the police. Watches crime skyrocket. Doesn't do anything about it. Lowers criminal penalties. And then blames businesses and taxpayers for moving out of harm's way. America's worst elected official:

Moving the Caps & Wizards out of DC is the wrong decision for the teams & bad for our city. This summer, I sounded the alarm on the risk of overlooking Cap One Arena while chasing other priorities. This wasn’t inevitable. Full statement on MSE move 👇:
A reporter who covers D.C. politics/government is surprised that there's a high propensity of government affairs professionals living in the ward surrounding the Capitol?
How many Republicans are backing the push to recall Charles Allen? The list is so long it wouldn’t fit into a screenshot
I found that the recall campaign is overwhelmingly funded by lobbyists of both parties, undermining claims of its grassroots support:
The references to

's maiden name or first name as pejoratives are bewildering. She's a married woman -- her last name is Haley. Nikki is an extremely common name in Punjabi culture - and it's her middle name. Sad to see this from an Indian-American,
@VivekGRamaswamy
.
The new Vivek fact-check website feels like parody.
To rebut the point about VR ending aid for Israel, they write “Keep lying, Namrata Randhawa!” - not sure why using Nikki Haley’s maiden name (spelled wrong) is a rebuttal.
But makes clear her debate attacks got under his skin.
"The arena hosts 220 events per year, and says it has hosted more than 47 million people across 4,500 events since it opened in 1997." What a staggering loss of economic activity for DC created by

You can bet every Republican in the country is going to run on education in 2022 because of what happened in Virginia tonight. (Even if in reality education was just part of the picture and "education" is an umbrella for a hundred different sub-issues.)

We have no CASH on premises, discourage CASH payments, keep the minimum supplies in stock. There is literally nothing to rob, but the criminals do not care, because DC has fallen into ANARCHY! Let's hear some solutions, share your thoughts!

Please tell me what I’m missing here. What are we doing next? Putting patients in charge of their own surgeries? Clients in charge of their own trials? When did we stop trusting experts. This is so stupid.
Of course - it's the feelings of one incompetent elected official (

) that's most important here. Not the blood of (often black and brown) people flowing in our streets or the rapid decline of our nation's capital. Leave Charles Alone!
It's such a privilege to speak to each batch of congressional interns that descend upon our nation's capital every semester. Thank you to

This is how you grow a political party, attract new voters, take back AZ and GA, break 50.0% in WI, MI, PA, sweep lower offices to your party, and crush a 270 EC threshold.

There was a MASSIVE rightward shift in NYC’s Asian American vote in last year’s gubernatorial election. We won Chinatown in Manhattan, Flushing in Queens, and Sunset Park in Brooklyn, promoting safer streets, higher quality education in our schools, and upward economic mobility.
