@Zuk_DC @CMCharlesAllen @charlesallen If DC actually held people based on their threat to society, we wouldn’t see repeat violent offenders walking free daily. The problem isn’t “cashless” vs. “cash”—it’s that DC refuses to detain the dangerous.

What actually IS “cashless bail”? CM @charlesallen explains DC’s pre-trial detention system and how it's been working for more than three decades.

@DCAttorneyGen If your policies are “data-driven,” then the data shows failure—repeat offenders cycling through (incl. the kids who carjacked my husband) while victims are ignored and disregarded. DC families and businesses deserve accountability, not ideological excuses dressed up as stats.

AG Brian Schwalb@DCAttorneyGen·
Pre-trial detention should depend on whether someone is a flight risk or a threat to the public — not whether they can afford bail. Cash bail creates a two-tiered justice system where poor people stay locked up simply because they cannot afford bail. This Executive Order disregards effective, data-driven policies purely for political purposes — something every American should be alarmed by. Public safety and justice are enhanced when local governments can exercise local control. This blatant federal overreach violates the fundamental principle of self-governance this country was founded on and will not make us safer.

@charlesallen Suggestion: Instead of spending your day trolling folks on Twitter, why don’t you work with your colleagues on legislation to make DC safer and hold criminals accountable? Seems like a much more constructive use of your taxpayer-funded time.

@charlesallen Another distorted narrative from @charlesallen. Your failed “crim. justice reform” + defund MPD policies, and @DCAttorneyGen’s zero-consequences approach, have made DC far more dangerous. Your constituents are concerned about the violence they experience everyday on the streets.

Another lie from the White House. Since they put these federal agents out across neighborhoods I’ve heard from many restaurants that business is starkly down - customers & staff concerned about the harassment by agents they’re seeing on streets.

President Trump touted a D.C. dining boom under his federal crackdown. The data shows a dip, and many business owners say their numbers are down. axios.com/local/washingt…

@EleanorNorton What about the roving gangs of juvenile criminals terrorizing residents and facing zero consequences because of policies pushed by @charlesallen and @DCAttorneyGen? Funny how little concern you show for DC leadership’s own political games.

When roving gangs of law enforcement conduct violent arrests, obscuring their faces and refusing to identify themselves, people eat out less.   The president's partisan political play is hurting real people, including workers and small business owners in the restaurant industry.
Jordan Fischer@JordanOnRecord

NEW: Reservations at D.C. restaurants dropped 16% YoY the day Trump announced his police takeover. The next day, 27%. By Day 3 they were down 31% compared to 2024. It couldn't come at a worse time. D.C. Summer Restaurant Week starts... tomorrow. wusa9.com/article/news/l…

DC crime since the announcement of federal control versus the 7 days prior: Robbery ⬇️46% ADW ⬇️6% Carjacking ⬇️83% Car Theft ⬇️21% Violent Crime ⬇️22% Property Crime ⬇️6% All Crimes⬇️8% While federal assistance gives us a boost, we must repeal the misguided Comprehensive Policing and Justice Reform Act in order to make these changes permanent.

Last night, 6 armored humvees parked outside Union Station & dozens of military standing around talking to each other. Neighbors passed by shaking their heads because they know this is unnecessary & doesn’t make our city safer. Putting weapons in their hands won’t make it better.

SCOOP: National Guard troops deployed to Washington, D.C. are preparing to carry weapons in the coming days, according to people familiar with the change, a shift that comes days after President Trump said he was sending them to “take back” the capital from what he described as violent criminals. w @VeraMBergen @MicahMaidenberg wsj.com/politics/natio…

@DCAttorneyGen “All DC residents” except those who are victimized by juvenile criminals. But at least the juvenile criminals will have an electric stove to return home to after you immediately release them!

@MatthewFoldi @WhiteHouse Are there plans to get rid of the “kids are kids,” diversion-loving, anti-consequences @DCAttorneyGen? Similar question re @charlesallen and the rest of the City Council who are more concerned about gas stoves than the safety of DC’s residents?

“No crime emergency,” says DC’s top prosecutor for juvenile crimes — the same guy who waved off rising juvenile violence with “kids are kids… biologically prone to make mistakes.” Tell that to the victims of those “mistakes.” @DCAttorneyGen calls it “diversion.” Criminals call it “I’ll be home by dinner.”

The Administration’s actions are unprecedented, unnecessary, and unlawful. There is no crime emergency in the District of Columbia. Violent crime in DC reached historic 30-year lows last year, and is down another 26% so far this year. We are considering all of our options and will do what is necessary to protect the rights and safety of District residents.

Verse 3: The crimes on the train go up, up, up, Up, up, up, up, up, up, But the cops on the beat have all been told— Just look away! Verse 4: The council members say “It’s not that bad,” “Not that bad,” “Not that bad,” Ignore the theft, ignore the fights— It’s progressive!

@CMCharlesAllen @charlesallen @DOEE_DC Roses are red, the gunshots are loud, But Charles bans stoves to make climate folks proud. Carjackings soar, our safety’s a joke— At least your appliance won’t make too much smoke.

Oh look, we found @charlesallen! Unfortunately, Chuckles was too busy talking climate policy to address the rampant crime in his Ward (and the District) over the last week. But don’t worry—once the criminals take over, at least they’ll have solar panels and induction stoves! #EndHomeRule @BasedMikeLee @RepAndyHarrisMD

That’s a wrap! Heading home after 130 witnesses & all day hearing with universal criticism of proposed budget to gut DC energy & environmental efforts. This budget harms working families, small biz, & affordable housing growth. Thx @marycheh & @TommyWells for adding their voice.
