I kept such politically self-serving interference from passing even when Democrats were in the minority, and I will do the same with our House majority. Serve your own constituents, @RepJimBanks. #HandsOffDC

Last week, @RepJimBanks introduced a bill that would make DC use local funds to pay for private schools. Congress has repeatedly rejected private school vouchers nationally, yet Banks hypocritically would impose them on my district. Won’t happen, Jim. #HandsOffDC

700,000 DC residents are #1 in fed taxes/capita, but they won't have a say tomorrow when the Senate takes one of its most critical votes in decades.
DC residents have earned their right in blood and treasure to cast a vote on Kavanaugh and every matter in Congress. #DCStatehood.

I joined many of our Capper Senior Building neighbors this afternoon to talk about next steps. They’re taking it a day at a time, and the road ahead will be long. But you can help them with a contribution to the Capper Senior Relief Fund: capitolhillcommunityfoundati…

Stopped by one of my favorite coffee ☕️ spots in #NYC! @thinkcoffeenyc @nyuniversity dropped off some #DC Statehood knowledge! We need you to tell your Senate and House members to sponsor The Washington DC Admission Act (S. 1278; HR 1291) Tell All! @dcvote #HandsOffDC @51stDC

Yup, I’m Muriel Bowser, mayor of Washington DC, the local politician who finally got thru to the reality star in the White House with the realities ($21.6M) of parades/events/demonstrations in Trump America (sad). – at Washington, DC

America’s true might is in our principles/moral authority. Here in DC, we value diversity, human rights, freedom, self-expression, & creativity. A parade showcases military hardware once. We can/should show off our values, through our actions, 24/7/365. And it doesn’t cost a cent

Very much & sincerely appreciate the support. Let’s make it very clear - more than 700,000 Americans that call DC home deserve full representation in Congress.

The Senate is expected to begin consideration of its DC appropriations bill today. I am working closely with Senators and our allies to defeat anti-home-rule amendments that may be offered by opportunistic Members. #HandsOffDC

Rocking the Red here in Congress after an outsized win by DC’s @Capitals! Refused to stop winning games—four straight to close out the series. Drafting a congressional resolution to celebrate our first #StanleyCup in franchise history! #ALLCAPS

YES! That makes 25. A majority of @SenateDems support #DCStatehood! xitter.gq/51stDC/status/10047331…

We will have the same rights as all Americans. We will be the 51st State! #DCstatehood

@NJDC07, one of the best advocates working on the Hill, remembers her first trip at age 8 to Capitol Hill with her Mom to try to make Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday a holiday. “So things change.” – at Washington, DC

At the Statehood training: “When the District passes laws, if a random congress member from Virginia or Texas or Maryland decides to intervene or pass a budget rider that limits how your tax dollars are spent, your voice is silenced.” @charlesallen

I remember it well. I texted my wife Barbara and told her I would be late for dinner. xitter.gq/councilofdc/status/984… – at Washington, DC
On this date in 2011, @mayorvincegray and a number of councilmembers (including @MayorBowser, @TommyWells, @CMYMA, @sekoubiddle, and others) were arrested by US Capitol Police for blocking Constitution Ave, NE, to protest Congressional budget riders & to call for DC voting rights

From #MarchForOurLives: $1.05—what the NRA paid @marcorubio for every student in Florida.
Rubio got another payoff too: the NRA boosted his rating from B+ to A after he introduced his bill to wipe out DC’s gun laws. How much are DC & Florida lives worth, Sen. Rubio? #HandsOffDC

Thanks to everyone that came out to the Rally for DC Lives before joining the #MarchForOurLives yesterday! Incredible young voices leading the way & demanding action. Here’s Aaron King, our emcee, as he addressed the crowd!

Going on the House floor to call out @marcorubio for refusing to withdraw his DC gun bill, which eliminates DC's total ban on guns in schools, its bans on assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, as well as its registration and age requirements. #HandsOffDC
