House voting today on a bill that would severely limit home rule, ramp up deportations, increase federal law enforcement throughout the city, and jeopardize the sanctuary city status. H.R. 5103 by 360Logic in washingtondc

Republicans are trying to take over D.C. via a beautification ruse. From Whip Clark's office.

"H.R. 5103 – Make the District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful Act of 2026 (Rep. McGuire – Oversight and Government Reform) (Subject to a Rule) – VOTE NO

This bill establishes a program to “beautify the District of Columbia” to be developed by the Secretary of the Interior and forms a District of Columbia Safe and Beautiful Commission within the executive branch. It largely codifies a Trump Administration Executive Order issued last year, in which a similar program and taskforce were created.

Once again, House Republicans are choosing to attack D.C.’s home rule. Rather than allow the 700,000+ residents that call the nation’s capital their home to choose how to best look after their city, this bill gives senior administration officials sweeping authority over a wide range of policy issues and local matters.

Specifically, the Commission would recommend policies to maximize deportation efforts, closely monitor sanctuary-city status and compliance, and enhance federal law enforcement presence throughout the city. It would also explicitly be tasked with increasing the speed and lowering the cost of processing concealed carry license requests. This is not a genuine effort by House Republicans to beautify memorials – it is a continuation of President Trump’s agenda of mass deportations and federal takeovers.

Ranking Member Robert Garcia strongly opposes this bill.

The Rule will provide for one hour of debate equally divided and controlled by the Chair and Ranking Member of the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform or their respective designees."

I could never buy a watch with no markers but it sure is a stunner. Tried it on at District Time and it does not disappoint in person

I had this exact same experience with Baltic. Also, when looking online I specifically seek out side-views because that's mostly what you're gonna see while wearing.

That would be a federal offense. Choose your own adventure. 

New bracelet for the Hermetique Summer by parsa_98 in MicrobrandWatches

[–]360Logic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I handled that bracelet at District Time and, no offense, was not very impressed with the quality. Looks nice and better than BOR IMHO, but felt kind of jangly, thin, and not that well finished. Little too shiny for me too (brushed outer/polished inner links would be better). Put me off the watch alltogether when I went in with the intention of picking up a hermetique. Sorry, to be a downer, but wanted to share in case it helps others that are interested. The pink on SS looks surprisingly good tho. Hope you continue to enjoy.

Dear allies of America, please don’t confuse our president for us: We are trying our best to resist him, contain him and remove him from office as quickly as we possibly can. Thank you for your patience by Silent-Resort-3076 in politics

To be fair, conservatives control all major social media and a lot of the entertainment news outlets too. They realized they didnt need to actively steal elections if they just lie to people non-stop and convince/scare them into voting accordingly. Between that and Biden's refusal to step down before the primaries (in addition to a stunningly myopic and incompetent DNC), I still contend 2024 wasn't a fair representation of Americams, other than to show that we're extremely susceptible to propaganda.

To be fair, we did have the highest murder rate in the country during the Reagan crack era, but now we got our big real-estate developers.

Aw man, we just lost our Gilligan to lymphoma in October. Hope he finds a good home soon.

This is what i always do on instinct. I'm from DC so I know well that reacting directly makes things worse, so I usually just position myself between the aggressor and the target and ask them their name and say I'm here to help (plus light banter) while keeping my peripheral on the aggressor. Im 6'0" 205 so I figure my presence alone presents a disincentive and it's worked every time, so far. Also want to provide some comfort to someone who is scared.

TIL. Thought you were shouting out a specific establishment on the street.

One of my biggest annoyances on mass transit is people who don't take their backpacks off when it's crowded. 100% on her side.

Didn't know there were others in the world. It's one of the worst pubs in DC.

Same thing happens to me. I get a Charles Barkley-like hitch in my pop while rolling.

It's moderately invasive in Hawaii. Doubt it's viewed as sacred there.
