Out at the polls today supporting @arlingtondems.bsky.social. What happens to one of us in the DMV affects all of us, so we have to stick together. Let’s hope for a blue wave and a state government that is more willing to work with DC to advance our shared interests!

Out knocking on doors for the Democratic ticket in Virginia today. What happens to one part of the DMV impacts all of us, so we all have to stick together. I’m hopeful we’ll see Virginia turn blue on Tuesday!

There are numerous things the Mayor and MPD could do to make it harder for ICE to racially profile and harass Latinos. Here are two: Immediately rescind MPD Executive Order 25-005 and stop doing joint patrols with federal immigration agents

We have been told that the National Guard deployment in DC will cost the federal government $201 MILLION through the end of this calendar year. If the Guard is really staying through the America 250 celebration, the total cost to the taxpayers could easily top half a billion

Ohio Republicans are just getting started in their gerrymandering. But already some Dems are considering caving. We need Democrats to stand up and fight in Ohio. If you live in that state, tell your reps you want them to vote NO on all gerrymandered maps www.rooster.info/p/you-play-t...

@ward3democrats.bsky.social have passed a resolution calling for strong coordination between all of DC's Home Rule advocates and for increased funding for the offices of DC's U.S. Senators and Representative. I agree. Increased funding and coordination would improve our advocacy on Capitol Hill

3/3 Because we are not a state and have no voting representation in Congress, Republicans are trying to change our laws to their image. DON'T let them. They will not stop here. Call your Senators at 202-224-3121 and tell them to oppose any and all bills or budget riders that threaten Washington, DC.

Another busy day meeting with Senate offices and asking Dems to hold the line against the DC Trump takeover bills. One staffer told us our advocacy on these bills has been miles better than our advocacy on the Criminal Code Reform. I will continue to advocate aggressively for DC

Republicans have concluded attacking blue cities is good politics after some House Dems supported their attacks on DC. They have now scheduled a hearing to discuss how to attack cities across the country. Senate Dems can stop these attacks by blocking the DC Trump takeover bills

I spoke to our @arlingtondems.bsky.social neighbors across the river to update them about how Trump and congressional Republicans are attacking DC. They told me they want

“I am for D.C. home rule. I would like for D.C. to become a state … but I’m a prosecutor. I believe that everybody’s entitled to live in a safe community,” said Rep. Eugene Vindman, a Virginia Democrat who voted in favor of three of the bills.

Yesterday, the House Committee on Oversight and Reform voted on 13 anti-Home Rule bills. I spoke with @repsuhas.bsky.social, who supported DC by voting NO on all 13 bills, to talk about how these bills advance the Trump takeover of Washington DC and what happened during the markup

Thank you to students at GW and across DC for walking out today in opposition to the President’s federal takeover of DC. Students have been at the forefront of anti-authoritarian movements throughout history, and I was proud to speak to the students carrying that legacy today

Another busy day lobbying congressional offices to vote No on the anti-DC bills going through the House. I was especially moved by the words of a Latina DC worker (not pictured) who told us in a meeting with Sen. Klobuchar's office how terrified she was because of the ICE raids

I spoke outside the Capitol and am now lobbying offices on Capitol Hill with @freedcproject.bsky.social and other advocates to call for Congress to reject every single anti-DC bill Republicans are pushing. Let me be clear: not a single elected official in DC supports these bills
