Fmr. Ward 5 ANC Commissioner Kathy Henderson announcing her run for DC Mayor on Newsmax is ... A Choice

Waking up without power, heat, or running water. (Again.) But the work here in Kyiv continues. Warming up in the car, writing in pencil — pen ink freezes — by headlamp. Despite how difficult this job can be, I am proud to be a foreign correspondent at The Washington Post.

TMZ's Harvey Levin goes nuclear on Trump over the arrest of Don Lemon: Arresting Don Lemon, who covered a protest in Minneapolis, is just insane. Ridiculous. Dictator-like. This is the playbook that dictators use to destroy democracies and take the will of the people away. It is as simple as that. Watch that video. He is covering the protest. That is what journalists do. I covered riots. I was a local reporter in Los Angeles for 15 years, and I covered riots and floods and earthquakes and all sorts of things where I had to step into areas where there were police, where there was activity, private property. When you're covering an event like this, like a protest, which I have covered many, you step into it. That's what journalists do. And that's what Don Lemon did. It is insane that they are making this stupid argument. This is a ridiculous assault, and I don't want to say just on the First Amendment. It's a ridiculous assault on democracy. The Trump administration should be ashamed of itself, but they're not. And they will continue to do this. And they are going after journalists. They're getting search warrants for their homes. It is obvious what's happening in this country. So wise up, everybody. This is an outrage.

Housing should not be a luxury. As the Mayor of DC, I will be laser focused on protecting tenants, increasing truly affordable housing, and making sure longtime DC residents aren’t pushed out of their own city.
