Reply to comment by Swampoodle1984 in Opinion | Is D.C. juvenile justice a revolving door? We need to know. by Maxcactus

Not tracking it would be justification for not responding to FOIA, I suspect? And there have been no consequences for failing to respond to FOIAs. Again, this is not just a Graves issue, this has been true of every USAO appointed by every President, to my knowledge.

However Congress did get her a few numbers one time, as kind of a snapshot. Since they have oversight over DOJ, that would be good info to have. The DA in LA was recalled. Does the USAO prosecute more or less cases than that DA? Who knows???!

It's my understanding that Congress got her a few numbers, once.

Last year, Graves told her they don't keep stats. Thus, they continue to not respond to FOIAs. She has a clip of the Zoom meeting on her Twitter.

NO USAO has ever released stats consistently no matter what President appointed them.

The AG does respond to FOIA requests.

Check out the work of Dr. Chris Palmer. He has been doing a lot of interviews re: his new book Brain Energy.

Both bipolar and Alzheimer's have been linked to insulin resistance, along with diabetes, NAFLD, PCOS or ED in men, mood disorders, heart disease, some cancers and Alzheimer's. Dr. Ben Bikman's book Why We Get Sick is excellent at laying out the common underpinnings.

Look up the address on MPD crime cards for the past year, also look up the address of the Georgia Ave metro. Close to GA metro is not what I would call safe, Far from the metro is a long walk in the dark in an unfamiliar and not super safe area. I'd suggest looking elsewhere.

Many of the vouchers are for 1 year. Due to upward pressures/inflation of rent due to how vouchers are administered, people have way less chance to afford something when voucher expires.

Long time tenants in rent controlled units have a target on them since the vouchers are SO much more lucrative.

This has been well known, but glad the WP is writing about it again. The 2019 articles re: Sedgewick Gardens and what a debacle that has been were excellent.

It would depend if OP would want any of the older kids to walk over and pick up younger kids, very easy in the cluster I mentioned w/o a need for a non-city kid to start taking public transit for school.

Hopefully OP can work out something to keep kids where they are. To move them for only part of a semester would be very disruptive.

There are a lot of options, but the one I suggested has the benefit of proximity (good schools w/in a few blocks of each other, easily walkable, w/lots of rentals nearby) and would not require a car for drop offs. JR for the 10th grader is not walkable from GP. For 4 months they could fit in a smaller than 4br, this area has few of those. Hope work is compensating for lodging and per diem, pretty disruptive to move kids to a new school system for 4 months. OP, can you have extended family stay with the kids for such a short time so as not to disrupt their schooling and lives?
