Thank you to the judges who’ve re-shown us sanity and humanity. This time, a SNAP decision was a good decision.

SNAP isn't about "people who don't work." It's about people who don't get paid enough to live.

Of the 40 or so million people who rely on food stamps:

* Two-thirds are children, seniors, or disabled

* Most working-age adults who receive SNAP are employed—but in jobs that pay poverty wages

Great seeing @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social yesterday. She earned her seat in Congress, and every day she’s kept from it is a failure of democracy.

To those who celebrate, Shana Tovah! Wishing you a wonderful new year. 💙

It was an honor to sponsor the Wanda Alston Foundation reception last night and stand in support of LGBTQ+ youth facing homelessness. As Trump and Congress target our most vulnerable kids, the rest of us must lock arms to protect them.

No other Americans are denied a say in choosing their judges or overseeing their police. We’re citizens, not subjects.

If tyranny takes root here, it won’t stop — it will spread.

House votes for D.C. police chases, against city’s input on judges
The bills passed despite universal opposition among top D.C. elected officials as the GOP tightens its grip on the nation’s capital.

I am deeply saddened by the shooting in Utah. My prayers are with Charlie Kirk and his family.

Political violence has no place in America. I condemn this act and urge us all to work together to prevent further violence.

D.C. deserves the same right to make local decisions as every other community.

If Trump cared about crime in DC, he'd fill our judicial vacancies so we could actually prosecute cases faster. Instead, he's attacking the most disenfranchised people in America -- DC residents.

Defenders of democracy, rally with Free DC and me tomorrow at 10AM.

Trump is using one incident to justify “taking over” DC, even though violence dropped nearly 40% last year.
You don’t improve public safety by throwing a tantrum.

As DC's Delegate, I’ll defend our autonomy and push to invest in what works.
Yesterday Trump posted on social media that 14-year-olds in DC should be prosecuted as adults — and threatened that if DC doesn't comply, he'll "federalize" the city. 🧵

Trump and his MAGA Congress are singling DC out for punishment. Federal worker unemployment is up 50%, contractor layoffs are the worst since the pandemic, and spending is falling fast. As your Delegate, I’ll fight back and get DC on the path to recovery.
