    DC is fully funded by congress and the GOP has threatened to defund the city. It’s easy to criticize that from afar but going against Trump would mean a lot of pain and a lot of deaths.

    DC needs statehood.

        And the folks with medical devices that require power like respirators or CPAPs? When city power is shut off they should just die?

        City infrastructure is incredibly important and DC is in a uniquely vulnerable position.
