The House is voting today on two bills that will put hard-fought reforms to DC’s justice system in the crosshairs.
But what happens in DC doesn’t stay here. When it’s DC today, it’s always America tomorrow. We can stop it right here, right now. #FreeDC

Trump said he’s been the best president for Black folks since Lincoln.
He’s smoking dope.
After promising to save #BlackJobs during the campaign, he’s gotten to work gutting the Black workforce in every sector. And the new jobs numbers don’t lie.

When I wasn’t directing visitors to reading rooms, exhibits, events, or the bathroom, I roamed the main reading room and wandered the Capitol. I watched the Senate in session. I ate in the House cafeteria.
Each day, I traced the footsteps of history and found my place in it.

Germany’s far-right party, advocating “re-migration” of non-ethnic Germans, didn’t win last night’s election, but it surged in the polls. Guess whose name popped up?
“Elon Musk, who rolled in…”

HERstory! So proud of the transformative and history-making tenure of Kamala Harris as America’s first woman Vice President.
I was honored to see the desk in person a couple years ago, now forever changed by the lasting mark she’ll leave on it and one of the nation’s highest offices.

10 years ago, I was sworn into office for the first time, representing my neighbors in Congress Heights and Highlands as Advisory Neighborhood Commissioner.
The six years I spent in elected service to #Ward8 as ANC and on the Board of Education is still the honor of my life. #HomeRule50
