I practice law but not on Twitter. Employment discrimination, sexual harassment, whistleblowers. I 💙 federal employees. Tweets are not legal advice.🌵

Comment from my brave client, Sahar Nowrouzzadeh: “It is my hope that the Inspector General's findings pertaining to my case help prompt action that will guard against any further such misconduct by members of this or any future administration." stateoig.gov/system/files/es…

Metro employee Robert Cunningham will be remembered as a hero who lost his life while fighting to keep customers safe. We are thankful for the outpouring of love and support we’ve received from our community.

Fun fact: @SpeakerPelosi won nine consecutive leadership elections—on the first ballot.

These guys are just politicians. The Constitution to them is just a fun tool to help them impose their political views on the entire country. The implausible inconsistency of the guns and abortion rulings is both sickening and revealing.

Vote for Democrats. That’s it, that’s the solution.

When the assault weapons ban was allowed to expire, the number of mass shooting deaths tripled—tripled. We know that the ban works and we need to reinstate it.

GOP Voters, you have the power to stop this. If you withhold your votes from candidates who take NRA money, they will solve this problem in a single election cycle. You can save our kids.

This #PublicServiceRecognitionWeek, let's celebrate our nation's dedicated civil servants who make government work for the people. I'm proud that #MD08 is home to tens of thousands of public servants & am grateful for their excellent service. #PSRW

When DC becomes the 51st State, we will be the second *largest* state by population (at time of admission) in American history. So, haters: Quit the “too small to be a state” shaming—we’re large and in charge! #DCStatehood

Two things can be true: DC statehood would necessarily benefit Democrats *and* it’s still the right thing to do on principle. It’s a pretty telling reflection of how our principles have been captured by our partisan politics that no one opposed to the former accepts the latter.
Look, I'm flexible, either we get rid of guns or we get rid of men but it's pretty obvious that we can't have both.

There is a reason responsible politicians do not use the term Wuhan or Chinese virus. Words from politicians are weapons for the idiots and the bigots of the world. My heart goes out to Atlanta and AAPI community.

A beautiful day.
Thank you to the U.S. Senate for your confirmation vote today. As Secretary of @Interior, I look forward to collaborating with all of you. I am ready to serve. #BeFierce
Saying her name is about honor. Saying her name is about respect. Saying her name is about accountability. Saying her name is about equal protection. Saying her name is about demanding action. Saying her name is about justice.   Breonna Taylor. Breonna Taylor. Breonna Taylor.

The daughter of Jamaican immigrants, Kristen Clarke would be the first woman confirmed to lead the Civil Rights Division at DOJ & first Black woman to hold the post. Her lived experiences & deep commitment to civil rights make her uniquely qualified for this role. #ConfirmClarke

HISTORIC: Vanita Gupta would be the first South Asian woman in U.S. history to serve as Associate AG, and she would be the first civil rights lawyer to hold the third highest ranked role of the DOJ. We celebrate her on #InternationalWomensDay and urge senators to #ConfirmGupta.
A year ago, Ahmaud Arbery was shot and killed while on a run. As we remember Ahmaud today, we commit to building a future where Black Americans no longer have to live in fear— simply because of the color of their skin.
