Today is Phil Mendelson's 72nd birthday and Vince Gray's 82nd. #DCCouncil

Today is the 81st birthday of DC's former mayor, former council chair, and current Ward 7 councilmember Vince Gray. He's 12 days older than Joe Biden. It's also the 71st birthday of Phil Mendelson, chair of the #DCCouncil.

Christina Henderson becomes the 4th member of the #DCCouncil to register with the Office of Campaign Finance to run for reelection (despite being an independent, with no June primary). Still no action from Vince Gray or Trayon White.

DC shadow senator Mike Brown has a fundamental misunderstanding of what his job is. He supposed to support #DCStatehood, not denounce the #DCCouncil and the voters for being too liberal and soft on crime. It may be a meaningless office, but I hope someone decent runs against him next year. #DCPolitics #DCision24

New bill from @brianneknadeau: "The legislation gives the Department of Public Works and other enforcement agencies authority to immediately tow and impound cars whose owners have blatantly flouted the law by having clearly counterfeit, obscured, or long-expired plates. Under current law, even a vehicle with no license plates cannot be towed unless it has two or more unpaid tickets."

Eleven years ago today, DC Ward 3 councilmember Mary Cheh called for Mayor Vince Gray to resign. #DCPolitics #DCCouncil #DCHistory

Ward 2 councilmember Brooke Pinto is publicly arguing that because the mayor and police department refuse to enforce laws they don't like, the council should avoid passing such laws. #DCPolitics #DCCouncil

We have a second #DCCouncil member on Mastodon: @brianneknadeau. She joins her colleague @JLGDC, who unfortunately hasn't posted since November. It would be good to have more discussion of #DCPolitics here, though at least we don't have the crime trolls.

Who is running DC councilmember Anita Bonds's Twitter account, and why are they retweeting a fringe Republican presidential candidate discounting systemic racism and climate change? #DCCouncil #DCPolitics
