BREAKING: My office is suing Commanders owner Dan Snyder, the Commanders, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell, and the NFL for colluding to deceive District residents—the heart of the Commanders’ fanbase—about an investigation into toxic workplace culture. After public reporting revealed that sexual misconduct, harassment, and misogyny ran rampant for decades at the team, the defendants promised DC residents that the league was going to fix this toxic culture, including by fully cooperating with an independent investigation.

NEW: Today, we’re suing Michael Saylor - a billionaire tech executive who has lived in the District for more than a decade but has never paid any DC income taxes - for tax fraud. We’re also suing his company, MicroStrategy, for conspiring to help him evade taxes he legally owes on hundreds of millions of dollars he’s earned while living in DC.

NEW -> We took action against Wawa, alongside 6 other states, for failing to protect their customers’ personal information & allowing a data breach that compromised close to 44,000 DC residents’ data. Wawa failed to implement effective data security measures and, as a result, hackers breached their computer network and stole customers’ sensitive payment card information.

In failing to protect customers’ data, Wawa violated DC consumer protection & data breach laws.

There have been some inaccurate assertions made in the past few days about how my office prosecutes crimes that I want to correct. Follow along. My office prosecutes all violent crimes committed by juveniles where we have strong evidence, as the standard of proof is beyond a reasonable doubt, and where the arrest is constitutional.

Anyone, including a young person, who commits a violent crime should be held accountable.

BREAKING: Today my office filed an antitrust lawsuit against Amazon for illegally abusing and maintaining its monopoly power by controlling prices across the online retail market and violating DC law. For years, Amazon has controlled online retail prices through its restrictive contract provisions & policies. Amazon requires third-party sellers to agree that they won’t offer their products anywhere else online – including their own websites – for a lower price than on Amazon.

My statement on AG Barr’s resignation⬇️

1/ 2/

Today, Social Justice Section Chief Jen Berger testified before @councilofdc on how OAG is working to protect District tenants, through the #COVID19 crisis and beyond: bit.ly/3mhefQx @councilofdc OAG has vigorously enforced @councilofdc's #COVID19 tenant protections.

Since late April 2020, OAG received 240+ calls for assistance from tenants and tenant advocates and sent more than 70 cease and desist demands to housing providers, many involving threats of eviction.

If Postmaster General DeJoy is, in fact, delaying his policy changes to the Postal Service until after November’s election, today marks a victory for democracy and the American people.

But we have no intention of dropping the troubling questions his proposed reforms have raised. We will investigate any action taken by this administration impacting the election, and we’ll sue to prevent any effort to jeopardize the integrity of the vote.

It’s with deep sadness that I share the passing of my hero and mother, Dr. Marie Racine.

⬇️ My mom had a PhD in French & Linguistics from @Georgetown, was fluent in 8 languages, and was a Professor Emeritus @udc_edu for 45 years. She was active in numerous organizations focused on education, women’s rights, and social justice in the US, Latin America, and #Haiti.

⬇️

Today we celebrate #Juneteenth, a holiday observing the end of slavery in the United States.

In many ways, this holiday commemorates not how far we’ve come over the last 155 years, but how much more work we have to do to achieve true freedom and equality. Today there’s a multigenerational, multiethnic, and worldwide movement crying out for reform, crying out to be heard, and demanding that our society dismantle systemic racism and address inequality.

TUNE IN at 5pm today as I testify at OAG’s Budget Oversight Hearing about proposals that will help our office increase public safety and save the District money: dc.granicus.com/MediaPlayer.ph… This is a difficult time for us all.

#COVID19 has taken hundreds of our neighbors and put substantial financial strain on businesses, workers, and the District’s coffers.

Our office stands ready to continue to protect DC residents and help the District save money.

🚨 BREAKING: Today our office sued Monsanto for knowingly selling toxic cancer-causing chemicals that polluted the District's environment, including the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers: bit.ly/2ysy975 For decades, Monsanto maximized profits by knowingly promoting and selling toxic chemicals that contaminated the District’s land, water, and wildlife, putting the health of our residents at risk.

Estimates show clean-up will cost hundreds of millions of dollars.

Now more than ever, we need to better shield bereaved families from unknowingly overpaying for funeral services.

I’m leading 22 states urging the @FTC to enhance federal consumer protections for funeral home services: bit.ly/34Xx3Mp @FTC Insufficient pricing transparency in the funeral industry inhibits accurate comparison shopping & exposes consumers to being overcharged.

We're calling for providers to:
*Publicize prices online
*Standardize pricing disclosures
*Safeguard consumer funeral funds from misuse/fraud
