Apparently, the Mayor of DC doesn't have much to do anymore that Trump has taken over and she has fled town for a vacation. Nice work if you can get it.

As President Donald Trump and his administration pursue a hostile takeover of Washington, D.C., the city’s mayor is skipping town for a bit.

Democrat Mayor Muriel Bowser has jetted off to Martha’s Vineyard — known as a retreat for the political elite — while President Donald Trump tackles the crime and homelessness plaguing her city.
According to Fox 5, the Democrat is there “on a family commitment” and will return to her city on Friday. Regardless, the optics are still less than ideal, as Martha’s Vineyard has become a haven for Democrats, often shielding them from their own disastrous policies, as can be appreciated in this clip of Eric Holder speaking from Martha’s Vineyard
While Bowser is working with the Trump administration in its efforts to crack down on crime and homelessness, she initially stated that Trump’s decision — officially invoking section 740 of the District of Columbia Home Rule Act, placing the D.C. Metropolitan Police Department under direct federal control, and activating the National Guard — was “unsettling and unprecedented.”
“I’ve said before, and I’ll repeat that I believe that the President’s view of D.C. is shaped by his COVID-era experience during his first term,” she said during a press conference following Trump’s announcement on Monday.
Neither anyone on the left or right that is in power should be taking vacations. You’re running the country, you can vacation when you no longer want to do the job until then, the world doesn’t stop just because you’re on vacation

It's fine to go on vacation occasionally, but it's not a good idea in the midst of a crisis.
How very Mayor Karen Bass of the DC mayor. Lazy and incompetent.

Wait - I thought she said this was a crisis? Where are all the folks that attacked Senator Cruz? Will they rally against her now too?

Oh, they won't make a peep. She's a Democrat after all.
All liberals disappear on their constituents

Leftists are lazy and entitled. They want the power and the money. They don't care about actually serving the voters.
Wonder what the Mayor is RUNNING from?!! 🤣🤣🇺🇸🇺🇸🤣🤣

Reality , getting out of the DC August Swamp Heat is not running away it’s just the seasonal migration if you can afford it.

The DC mayor vacationing on Martha’s Vineyard is a smart thing.
Must be nice.
Of course she did. Martha's Vineyard kicked all the illegals out. Hypocrites.

They didn't want to have to deal with the riff-raff.
Sounds like her “Vacation” is more like her being on the run. Something tells me she’s not coming back…

Interesting theory. This will be one to watch.
