The House has passed H.R. 5214, a bill to return DC to cash bail.
Cash bail creates two tiers of justice, one for people with money and one without. DC abolished it more than 30 years ago and crime has dropped precipitously since.
H.R. 5214 is wrong and we will continue to fight its passage.

I was at Rhode Island Ave. when somebody was hit by the train.
I don’t know how but she got caught between a couple of the cars. She was still alive when I left the emergency services at our own hand.

Can the roots the 6-7 fad be found in the 1989 Pixies single “Monkey Gone To Heaven”? The accompanying juggling motion may be an unconscious expression of today’s youth struggling between the devil (6) and god (7). But where does that leave man (5)? On my next podcast

The ADL does not represent the interests of nor speak on behalf of American Jewry.
I'm not sure who they represent except themselves.

This is absolutely the right response at this point. The ADL has abandoned its right to be taken seriously as a voice of the American Jewish community. Politicians should absolutely meet with a diverse array of Jewish constituents. But the ADL must be ignored and dismissed until it loses influence.
A ‘Mamdani Monitor’?? Zohran RESPONDS to the ADL’s Jonathan Greenblatt for vowing to “track” his admin for antisemitism.
“I have some doubts in Jonathan's ability to do so honestly, given that he previously said I had not visited any synagogues only to have to correct himself.”

The factional grifters will hate this, but the Mamdani-Spanberger-Sherrill axis actually suggests the outlines of a broad, emerging Dem coalition organized around both anti-Trump *and* affordability politics, not a party bitterly divided against itself.
These big wins will embolden Dems to take on Trump's lawbreaking and show there's a price for GOP enabling of him. Folks hate to hear this, but normal patterns are asserting themselves: Liberalism isn't dead, Rs are likely to lose in 2026, and Trump is really unpopular, not a magical exception.
