I was honored to introduce Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton today at the @ABALitigation Annual Conference. Thanks @EleanorNorton for your welcoming remarks today.
Today, I met with the D.C. Teacher of the Year, Cardozo High’s own Beth Barkley and the Maryland Teacher of the Year, @MKConnerton from Annapolis High School, who were on the Hill today on behalf of @CCSSO. Thank you Beth and Mary Kay for helping shape America’s youth!
What's today? 5/1. What will DC be? The 51st state. I introduced my resolution to designate today as #DCStatehood Day. More: bit.ly/3JJekcy
Join us tonight!
I introduced my bill to allow DC employees whose retirement benefits were negatively affected by a 1997 change to restore their full benefits – which they earned and to which they are entitled. Statement: bit.ly/3xWJF90
“Electrification of our transit systems can provide a roadmap for electrifying other fleets, including our commercial motor vehicles.” Watch Ranking Member @EleanorNorton highlight the need to build on the EV investments in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.
Vaccines are one of the highest-impact and most cost-effective global health tools we have. If you're not already, get vaccinated now during #WorldImmunizationWeek.
I announced the FY25 process for applying through my office for Community Project Funding. Applications must be submitted on a shortened timeline this year, by 5:00 pm on April 30th, to be considered. Details: bit.ly/4b8yBE2
Join us next week:
Rock Creek Park is the nation's oldest federally-managed urban park and the third oldest park in the country, so I introduced my bill to change its name to "Rock Creek National Park." Fitting to appreciate our parkland a day after Earth Day. bit.ly/4dblNyp
This Earth Day, I'm highlighting the IIJA, which I helped craft as a senior member of @TransportDems. It included $2.5b in grant funding to add more EV charging stations in DC, $1.2b to improve access to public transit and $355m to repair and upgrade DC's water infrastructure.
This year, @OversightDems exposed how foreign governments paid more than $7.8 million to Donald Trump while in office. More than $5.5 million of that came from China! @EleanorNorton wants to know why Republicans aren’t talking about this today. 🤔
Congratulations to Howard University for finishing in the final four of the Honda Campus National Championship quiz bowl! The challenge is the nation's premier HBCU academic competition, and Howard students have made DC proud.
Join us for an open meeting of my DC Commission on Black Men & Boys on crime and violence in DC. The meeting will take place at 6:00 pm on Tuesday, April 30. Details below.
I introduced a bill to posthumously award a Congressional Gold Medal to the first 13 Black officers in the US Navy. These men overcame injustices to serve honorably, including by leading all-Black units & training Black recruits. bit.ly/3UiJHAM
Today's federal tax deadline reminds us that DC residents pay more federal taxes per capita than any state and more overall than 19 states, while being denied voting representation in Congress + full local self-government. The remedy is #DCStatehood. bit.ly/4auWS7k
Today I introduced my resolution commemorating Emancipation Day, an official holiday in DC honoring the date in 1862 when President Lincoln freed 3,100 enslaved people in DC, nine months ahead of the Emancipation Proclamation. Statement: bit.ly/3VU3o37
@EleanorNorton was able to vote on the House floor today! She voted for an amendment to the “Reforming Intelligence and Securing America Act’’ (H.R. 7888) to prohibit warrantless searches of U.S. person communications in the FISA 702 database. It failed by a tied vote of 212-212.

Today, on the anniversary of the start of the Civil War, I introduced a bill to preserve 22 Civil War Defenses located in DC, Maryland and Virginia. These defenses should be preserved as a national historic park to educate & inspire future generations. bit.ly/44dzNUB
I'll hold a reception honoring the artistically talented DC students who participated in the Congressional Art Competition. To join us, register here: bit.ly/3VVHQmS

Trump's attorney asserting at SCOTUS that the series of existing structural checks "have successfully deterred presidential misfeasance" for 200 years is factually - laughably - false, as all of us trapped on January 6 can attest.

The one interesting wrinkle here is this: In the Committee of the Whole, delegates can vote. The Biggs amendment was considered in the Committee of the Whole. And when something passes with a one-vote margin with delegates deciding the vote, there's an automatic revote. I am…
