Outside @NatPress conference, @Meagan_Flynn asks @MayorBowser about yesterday’s @councilofdc action/inaction…

.@MayorBowser called council's initial rejection of the bill "shockingly irresponsible." "We spent a couple of months w marauding teenagers--I mean literally taking over different locations--& to send the message that we want to go back to that level of mayhem is irresponsible"
After fireside chat w young reporters at @NatPress, @MayorBowser tells @SegravesNBC4 “I’m not polling” & about possible big shakeup in @councilofdc “Good…l loved being on the C…I’m a little surprised that people r eager to get off the C.” @Meagan_Flynn Hotel Monaco
Big protest from immigrant organizers in the Wilson Building today demanding an end to MPD cooperation with ICE. A spicy banner, too.

If it’s possible to have “two right hands,” that’s what Beverly Perry has been to Mayor Bowser. Huge move in Mayor’s office!
Top Advisor to @MayorBowser resigns. Beverly Perry, Bowser’s Senior Advisor and lead official on federal negotiations including RFK land transfer is leaving the administration. Perry has been by Bowser’s side since before she became mayor. @nbcwashington


Beverly Perry, in February, Eastern HS

This is huge: Perry was probably Bowser's closest confidant left in government (particularly after the Falcicchio scandal), not to mention her designated "Republican-whisperer" on the hill. As Bowser weighs her political future, what does the inner circle look like anymore?
Returning from behind-closed-doors, @councilofdc-members take their places on the dais.


So almost the entire D.C. Council is now meeting being closed doors to negotiate how to proceed on the expanded youth curfew emergency bill. It seems pretty clear they are negotiating legislation behind closed doors, in violation of the spirit of the city’s Open Meetings Act.
