Tell Congress: Oppose H.R. 5103 the misnamed "Safe and Beautiful Act" being pushed by people who have no interest in living in DC themselves, and wouldn't know beauty if they fell over it. (H.R. 5103 is about as beautiful as the Big Beautiful Bill.) […]

We fear far worse in #DC than it becoming a #DearLeaderShrine like losing our bit of autonomy (aka #HomeRule.) Still, disgusting. Thanks, @zeteo.com.

This doesn’t belong in DC or anywhere else unless there’s a natural disaster or equivalent. This is in the residential area of the Capitol Hill neighborhood. DC is under federal occupation. Troops on our streets should never ever become normalized. It’s an anti-American aberration.

I missed this. West Virginia piloted Home Rule for local governments to be able to be creative in solving local problems in 2007 and made it permanent in 2019. This is very different from how we do things in Virginia. https://revenue.wv.gov/homerule/Pages/About.aspx #HomeRule #DillonRule #WV

Want a mayor who fosters transparency and accountability? @janeese4dc.bsky.social believes in home rule, and that includes being able to legislate what our own MPD does, NOT Congress. #vote #dc #freedc #homerule
President Joe Biden ultimately vetoed that disapproval, rendering the timing dispute moot. Now, at a time when tension between the city and #Congress continues to escalate, the city could be picking a fight depending on whether or how Congress responds.
#law #HomeRule #Trump #Republicans #idiocracy
But the timing dispute has come up before. #Congress & the city have tended to count the 30 legislative review days differently, or 60 days in cases of criminal justice bills. In 2023, as the #Republican controlled #Senate teed up a final vote on a disapproval resolution to block DC’s major […]
Because it is historically rare for #Congress to pass a disapproval resolution because typically there isn’t a tyrant as POTUS who controls Congress]— only 5 have succeeded in DC’s half-century history of [#HomeRule — there is no precedent for a situation in which the city legally objects to a […]
But Schwalb seized in part on a provision of the 1973 DC #HomeRule Act, which created the city’s modern local government, to make a case that #Congress acted outside legal boundaries.
Congress has 30 legislative days under the Home Rule Act to review or disapprove #DC #legislation before it […]
Schwalb wrote that while #Congress retains the authority to repeal city laws, “in our view, Congress did not do so here.” The disapproval, he said, merely “operates as an expression of Congress’s unfavorable opinion of [DC’s tax policy] but not as a repeal.”
As the #federal district, #DC has […]
When #Congress objects to a #DC #law, disapproval resolutions have the effect of rendering it null & void. But Schwalb (D) argues in his opinion that Congress missed a critical 30-day deadline & also failed to make the resolution apply retroactively, given the 2025 #tax season already began. As […]
#Congress voted earlier this month to swat down #DC #legislation that divorced the city’s local #tax code from #Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill. #Republicans celebrated the move as a way to put more money back in Washingtonians’ pockets through various tax deductions — but DC officials warned it […]
DC’s top legal officer argued Tuesday that a disapproval resolution #Congress passed to block the city from opting out of #Trump’s #tax cut is invalid in part because federal lawmakers missed a deadline—a defiant response to the congressional action that puts the #city in uncharted territory […]
