Mayor says we must reject violence and discord which "even shows up at my apartment where I have a right to utilize" which ... is certainly a decision. — PolitiTweet.org

john r stanton @dcbigjohn

She pivots to dealing with the causes of crime, rattling off programs and money. "In all of these areas we're focusing on root causes," which is starkly different than when the mayor repeatedly said this summer we had to police our way out of this problem. — PolitiTweet.org

Oliver Thomas, who's emerged as one of her only reliable allies on the council, getting plenty of shoutouts. He's also got eyes on her seat in the future, so keeping him close is smart politics. — PolitiTweet.org

Mayor is leaning into pandemic related work, which is an area she really can claim huge amounts of credit in. While you can disagree over her decisions, on the whole they definitely did help protect the city when a LOT of people thought that'd never happen. — PolitiTweet.org

It should be noted that the mayor definitely played a major role in getting recovery money. But so did former mayor Mitch Landrieu, who was in charge of doling out much of it, Cedric Richmond who was White House Chief of Staff & Council President Moreno who is homies w/VP Harris — PolitiTweet.org

Before Kaplan was named night mayor, the rumor was she didn't want Howie in that spot and wanted to give it to Cyndi Ngyuen after she lost reelection last year. but the nightlife community wanted Howie and she eventually agreed. — PolitiTweet.org

lololol LORDT. the Mayor just threw the Night Mayor Howie Kaplan under the bus "made it through that AG's opinion too man" — PolitiTweet.org

The mayor is making the case that the significant amount of time she spends traveling has paid dividends to citizens, claiming sole responsibility for getting Recovery Act funds by traveling to DC — PolitiTweet.org
