Congress can block DC laws, restrict how local funds are spent, and impose federal budget riders that deny the District revenue. One clear example is cannabis. DC voters legalized possession, but Congress still blocks the District from regulating and taxing recreational sales, denying millions in revenue that could be reinvested in communities harmed by the War on Drugs.

In context

DC’s budget is under real strain, not because residents are asking for too much, but because revenue is not keeping pace with the economy or with the responsibilities DC is required to carry. The District relies primarily on local property, income, and sales taxes, along with federal funds that make up about a quarter of total revenue. Unlike states, DC must fund both city and state level services, including Medicaid, unemployment insurance, and human services, while lacking full control over its own budget.

At the same time, DC’s tax code and development strategy continue to favor the wealthy. Capital gains, inherited wealth, and high value property remain lightly taxed, while working families carry a disproportionate share of the load. The District has increasingly relied on mechanisms like Opportunity Zones, Tax Increment Financing (TIFs), and long term bonding to spur development without clear accountability for results. Too often, these tools shift risk onto future taxpayers while delivering limited public benefit. Without change, revenue will continue to lag behind economic growth, putting…

And when I was in law school in 2016, it was clear that state governments were salivating over marijuana taxes and that there was a massive lobby. I argued that governments could get addicted to marijuana taxes the way the Russian government got addicted to vodka taxes but that was dismissed without an argument. And now we are seeing more evidence that marijuana doesn't trigger schizophrenia, it causes a schizophrenia-like condition. It time, we will probably recognize marijuana resulting in b

Stop having sex. Easiest way to avoid creating a life that you choose to end with no remorse.

Yeah so, actually, all of science denies this. A egg that has not yet been fertilized by a sperm is not alive. Stop scaring women with falsehoods like this. Once fertilized by a sperm, then there is a life. Abortion intentionally ends that life.

“A woman who has a monthly period has a monthly abortion.” No. This is not even remotely how human reproduction works. I’m exhausted by the constant word games used to normalize abortion.
“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” Hebrews 12:1-3

Absolutely blessed by the showing of support this Thursday as my team and I hosted voters from across DC! What a joy it was to gather with many who feel as though we are not without hope here in the city - we are bringing a real choice back to this place, we are bringing democracy back to our nation's capitol.

Was blessed to also take a moment to honor and memorialize the the many fellow Americans who lives were taken during the 9/11 attacks 25 years ago and thank God for those who risked their lives to save others.

“So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men. And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross. Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” Philippians 2:1-11

The people of DC continually have expressed their lack of trust in the current system and I hope to bring a real choice to the table this year. Very grateful to have joined, the excellent host, Maria Maalouf on The Capitol Show this week! DC, Vote Prudent for Chair this November!

Washington, D.C., has long been dominated by Democratic leadership—but Republican candidates Abi-Ananiah Prudent and Darrell Green argue that the nation’s capital desperately needs a new direction. In this exclusive interview with Maria Maalouf, the candidates confront the city’s most urgent challenges: violent crime, juvenile offenders, failing schools, government accountability, affordability and declining public trust. @AbiAnaniah @DarrellGreen Prudent, the Republican nominee for Chair of the D.C. Council, explains why she believes residents are no longer being heard. Green, a lifelong Washingtonian and former Metropolitan Police officer running for an at-large Council seat, calls for tougher accountability while defending rehabilitation for young offenders. They also address cooperation with President Trump and Congress, progressive leadership, D.C. statehood—and why lifelong Democratic voters should consider voting Republican on November 3.

Illinois woman who was “very interested” in the Lindsay Clancy trial, allegedly hanged her 2 year old child from the rafters in the basement of her $1M home. 2-year-old Barrett Walsh was found hanging with his feet off the ground. His mother, Corie Walsh, immediately told investigators she thought he was the “devil” and the “anti-Christ.” One witness says Walsh was “very interested” with the Clancy trial. Absolutely horrific. The female true crime cult has their new hero.
