"HuffPost asked Bowser whether she’d received any commitment that the 'crime emergency' would end as scheduled after 30 days. She suggested it might not, and that the city would be OK." ??????

Perhaps Bowser doesn’t realise that many would like to see her offer a robust defence of her city and its people. Why not take the opportunity to make Trump sweat? Yes, this must be done with some care but the effort is surely worth it.

Something smells bad. Authoritarians prefer to work with corrupt people because they’re easier to keep in line. The only way this makes sense is that she may not want anyone to investigate her. 🤔

Folks in the comments—how do *you* talk to your captor when they’ve got weapons trained on you and your entire family? That’s Bowser’s position as mayor of DC, which has no statehood protections.

Bowser is the mayor in a *captive city.* No other city is in the precarious situation DC is by not being part of a state. She has to walk a very fine line to protect DC while keeping Tr*mp from doing worse.

No, Mayor Bowser, we do not appreciate the imposition of an occupation on our city, and we do not believe Washington -- or any city in the US -- would be OK with an indefinite occupation by Federal agents and the National Guard under *any* circumstance. Wrong person, wrong time, wrong actions.

Sounds like the kind of thing a mayor would say to signal to loved ones that they’re being held at gunpoint. That, or she capitulated like everyone else.

Bowser is playing stupid games with no finish line in sight. There's no shortcuts here - backing the blue shell of the MPD is a surefire way to lose control. We can't just play party games and hope for the best.
