We are suing to defend DC home rule and stop
the unlawful deployment of the National Guard.
Our nation was founded on the fundamental
principles of freedom and self-governance that
are stake in this case.
No city in America should be subject to
involuntary military occupation.

The National Guard deployment does not only
undermine public safety.
It also hurts DC's economy - depressing vital
industries like restaurants, hotels, and tourism.
And critically, it infringes on DC's sovereign
authority and right to self-governance under the
Home Rule Act.

The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the military
from engaging in domestic policing.
Yet the Administration launched a massive,
indefinite law enforcement operation in DC
under direct military command.
This is plainly illegal, and it threatens our
democracy and civil liberties.

It's usually those whose only
physical practice is training-

That get emotionally triggered
over training systems
It's less the importance of

DC COUNCIL STATEMENT IN RESPONSE TO PRESIDENTIAL
ANNOUNCEMENT
WASHINGTON, DC - This is a manufactured intrusion on local authority. Violent crime
in the District is at the lowest rates we've seen in 30 years. Federalizing the Metropolitan
Police Department is unwarranted because there is no Federal emergency. Further, the
National Guard has no public safety training or knowledge of local laws. The Guard's role
does not include investigating or solving crimes in the District. Calling out the National
Guard is an unnecessary deployment with no real mission.

сео о ое ноне на .
Public safety is built on trust, consistent enforcement, and community-based
Our local police department is the best in the country, and it is our police officers
who should be leading the efforts to keep our communities safe-not the National Guard.
The President was unable to cite any evidence that our MPD is not able to do the job. Let's
Our local government regularly partners with the federal government. The federal
government plays a role through the United States Attorney's Office prosecuting violent
crime, the Senate confirming judges to serve on our courts, the federal supervision agencies
to follow up with people who are released on parole, and Congress passing a budget fix so
that DC residents can spend their own tax dollars to pay our police and firefighters the
wages they deserve. Taking over our police department and deploying hundreds of National
Guard members is not the hard work of public safety - it is a show of force without impact.
It is our job to regularly look at our laws and ensure they are serving our residents'
interests. That's what we did in 2024 when the Council came together to pass Secure DC,
an omnibus with over 100 interventions to drive down crime. We did it again when the
Council in June 2025 passed Peace DC legislation that puts the city on a path to more
sustainable safety. And in the last two years where we have been laser focused on driving
down crime, we have decreased violent crime by nearly 50% of what it was, yielding the
lowest violent crime numbers our city has seen in 30 years.

procrastinating joy?
• Notice the trap: If you catch
yourself delaying positive things,
stop.
• Change the friction level: If you
want to do something positive,
make it easier to do it.
• Schedule fun: Making a rule to
do something enjoyable at a set
time could make it easier to
follow through.
• Change your mindset about
what's special: Trying to get over
the trap of specialness may be key.

1/2 of adult americans recieve allowances from their parents
in image1/2 of adult americans recieve allowances from their p

Lucia Barker, 25, describes her inclination to look up her friends' apartments as "a morbid curiosity" but says the habit has quelled her tendency to compare her own financial situation to those of her peers, particularly when it becomes clear a friend's standard of living is made possible through factors other than their salary—namely, money from their parents. New York Magazine recently reported that nearly half of parents in the US provide financial support to their adult children and that, among American adults under 43, only about one-third support themselves without help from their parents. But despite the fact that parent-subsidized lifestyles have become commonplace, a sense of shame and secrecy surrounding generational wealth persists. "There's such a lack of financial transparency in our world," Barker says. "It's just helpful to know that other people's lifestyles might be because of some other reason."
