It was a wonderful morning to celebrate our nation’s founding as my office walked in both the Capitol Hill Community and Palisades Fourth of July parades. On days like today we remember that in order for democracy to work for all of us, it must include all of us. #DCstatehood

The Republican Party has been engaged in an all-out assault on our democracy. I am working to convince my Democratic Senate colleagues not to join in that assault by overturning DC local laws that do not apply to their constituents and that they have no right to change.

The President could not unilaterally give the RFK land to the Commanders. That would take an act of Congress, which would require GOP leadership to spend the time to surmount a filibuster, which is very unlikely to happen. No one should be taking this threat seriously.
. @ChmnMendelson has heard @Commanders “Plan B” if @councilofdc fails to approve stadium deal on time is to seek intervention by @realDonaldTrump “I’ve heard that from a number of people” when asked if he heard it team officials “all I’m gonna say is I’ve heard it” @nbcwashington.

Hard to summarize just how bad this bill is in one tweet, but this one does a pretty good job. If I was a voting Senator, I would proudly vote no on this horrific bill and it likely would not pass the Senate. We need #dcstatehood
Shocking how bad this bill is:. - 17 million would lose health care. - 30% higher electricity costs . - Millions of manufacturing and construction jobs destroyed . - Biggest ever cut in food assistance for families, kids, veterans . - $4 trillion in deficits . - $1 trillion in.

Major congratulations to @JamesWalkinshaw for his win in the Democratic primary to represent Virginia’s 11th District! I’m looking forward to working with him to advance regional interests and protect D.C. from attack

The Democratic nominee to represent Fairfax County in Congress is being decided TOMORROW. If you live in the district, I strongly urge you NOT to vote for @AmyRomaVA, Ross Branstetter, or @PriyaPunnooseMD, who are anti-D.C. Home Rule. We can do better in this deep-blue district

RCV does not benefit “progressives" or any other type of candidate. It benefits unifying candidates who reach out to all communities. The last RCV NYC mayoral election was won by @ericadamsfornyc, and RCV has elected moderates @RepGolden in Maine and @lisamurkowski in Alaska.

I know that our Councilmembers support #DCstatehood because they believe that the will of the people of D.C. should be respected. If they believe that, then they should not ignore the 73% of voters who voted to implement RCV in the District.
