The rain may have dampened the participants, but not the spirit of the crowds who came out today to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year’s parade and celebration in DC’s Chinatown. #YearOfTheHorse

It’s happening again, and with disastrous consequences for DC Taxpayers. Call these Senators and tell them to vote No on #SJRes102 and let DC govern itself.

Tonight it’s a discussion and book signing with @joshshapiropa.bsky.social and @warnock.senate.gov here at #SixthandI but I can’t help but see a possible dream ticket for @democrats.org in 2028.

I have had the inspiring honor to serve with the legendary @EleanorNorton.bsky.social during her amazing career in the US House of Representatives. Her impressive legacy of service to the people of #WashingtonDC and her many accomplishments in support of #DCStatehood will inspire all #Americans.

The clear and continuous #abuseofpower by #ICE is making no one safe, but instead creating danger in #American communities like #DC and #Minneapolis. Having learned nothing from the killing of #ReneeGood, we are traumatized by more horrific video of another killing today. Get ICE out of Minnesota!

My thoughts are with the National Guard members wounded in this horrific shooting. I’m grateful
for the quick response of law enforcement officers and the first responders who swiftly apprehended the suspect, who is now in custody. Gun violence has no place in our community.

Just as the phony #Trump so called “emergency” ends - here comes a #Republican controlled #House Committee voted to advance 14 separate bills, most of which will erode #DC Autonomy and #Self-Determination.

Violent crime in DC is down but other crime like the bribery of government officials with a luxury plane is way up.

Trump's DC police maneuver contradicted by crime statistics Paul Brown, a longtime shadow Senator in Washington, D.C., sat down with Scripps News to explain why President Donald Trump's move to federalize the city's police force may cause more harm than good.

Could Trump move to federalize DC Monday? There’s local pushback on that - WTOP News Last week, President Donald Trump warned he might “exert” his presidential powers to place the District under federal control. Can he?

DC's only dangerous bc you and your cronies"re in it, Pendejo Anaranjado.

“Nobody in D.C. is going to feel safer with Donald Trump in charge of the local police,” said District Shadow Senator Paul Strauss, adding that he believes what’s wrong with local law enforcement is the federal components."

I shared my thoughts about comments made by Donald #Trump about a possible #FederalTakeover of #DC. Although right now it’s not even a concept of a plan, given his history, we need to take these threats to our local #democracy seriously.

If you hit a #Beach this weekend, it's because they #HittheBeach before. On #MemorialDay, let’s #Honor & #Remember the women & men who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep us free, especially the #DC troops who did so without a vote in Congress. #MemorialDay2025 #RememberAndHonor

Words cannot express the depth of the anger and sadness in Washington DC today as we mourn Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky. They were murdered yesterday in an Anti-Semitic attack, outside the Small Capital Jewish Museum. May their memories be a blessing.

I’m deeply saddened by the passing of John Ray, former DC Council member at Large and my old Boss. John Ray was a gifted lawyer and legislator who was instrumental in helping me choose both the law and public service as a career. May his memory be a blessing to our community.
