  • As we prepare for a new presidency, we need to think about fixing Washington, DC. No, I'm not just talking about the "drain the swamp" sense of reforming
  • and hopefully shrinking
  • the federal bureaucracy.

The article discusses the issue of perceived political bias in Washington, D.C., particularly focusing on how the city's predominantly Democratic electorate influences its legal and political environment. It argues that this bias affects federal employees, who might face scrutiny or legal challenges based on their political affiliations, especially if they are conservative or Republican. The author suggests that Congress, which has oversight over D.C., should intervene to ensure a more balanced political atmosphere. Proposed solutions include relocating federal agencies outside of D.C. to mitigate the influence of local politics, implementing reforms to protect federal workers from partisan lawfare, and potentially altering the city's governance structure to reduce one-party dominance. The piece emphasizes the need for these changes to foster a more neutral and fair environment for all federal employees, regardless of their political leanings.
