President Trump fabricated the “emergency” that’s required to exist for a president to federalize DC Police, and he admitted to reporters today that he’s willing to fabricate a national emergency in order to try to extend his power.

Thank you, Senator Schumer, for making clear Senate Dems will block any request to extend this anti-home rule attack on DC.
Lacking senators ourselves, DC is fortunate to have Senator Schumer’s staunch support of #DCStatehood and home rule.
Senator, thank you for having DC’s back.
In recent days I've relentlessly supported Mayor Bowser and DC during a period of unprecedented federal incursion.
But working with civic associations, other DC groups, the CBC and rallying my colleagues in Congress is only the start.
We'll get through this, DC. More to come.
President Trump made a grave error on several levels by taking over MPD and deploying the DC National Guard without DC's agreement.
He violated the principle of consent of the governed, on which America was founded, and he unintentionally made the strongest possible case for #DCStatehood.
Pres. Trump based his DC Police takeover and deployment of the DC National Guard on a fiction he's consistently pushed since the campaign trail.
DC has not been "overtaken by violent gangs" as he said yesterday.
The opposite is true: Crime is the lowest it's been in 30 years.
As you listen to an unhinged Trump try to justify deploying the National Guard in DC, here's reality:
Violent crime in DC is at a 30-year low.

After the president seized control of DC Police, an unprecedented action, and deployed the DC National Guard without DC's consent, Sen. @ChrisVanHollen & I announced we'll introduce our bills to permanently prevent either from happening again.
Statement: bit.ly/45t70MJ
The president’s unprecedented decision to federalize MPD and activate the DC National Guard is a counterproductive use of DC's resources to use for his own purposes.
It's not justified by the facts, which show that DC crime is at a generational low.

1) Violent crime is horrific and unacceptable no matter where it occurs.
2) DC's violent crime rate is at a 30-year low.
3) Presidents have no authority to unilaterally take control of DC. Congress would have to pass a law, and I won't let the current effort get that far.
Albert Pike, a disgraced Confederate general, has no claim to be memorialized in the nation's capital.
I introduced my bill to permanently remove his statue. It belongs in a museum, not in a place of honor in a majority Black and brown city.

Deploying the feds and discussing abolishing DC's local government in response to an assault where the police responded quickly enough to arrest two perpetrators *as they left the scene* are disproportionate, potentially dangerous, and offensive overreactions.
#HandsOffDC
Even if DC crime weren’t at a historic low point, President Trump's recent comments would be misguided and offensive to 700K+ DC residents.
Federal interference is the problem. The solution is #DCStatehood.

Rep. Ogles is under the misimpression that DC residents need Republicans to "save" them, but all DC needs from Republicans is to stop their attacks and fix the massive budget issue they caused in the CR.
DC can govern itself. The interference is the problem, not the solution.
Sen. Lee is ignoring the facts: The so-called "soft-on-crime" Democrats running DC have achieved the lowest violent crime rate the District has seen in 30 years.
Utah voters should be alarmed by the share of his attention fixated on DC instead of the state he represents.

Democrats and Republicans agree that the public deserves transparency.
I support the public release of the records related to the Epstein investigation.

NPS' decision to restore and reinstall the statue of Confederate Albert Pike is indefensible. Pike served dishonorably, misappropriated funds, and was ultimately imprisoned by his fellow troops.
I'll reintroduce my bill to remove the statue.

Thanks to DOGE buyouts, 154,000 people are being paid taxpayer money not to work while critical government services like Social Security and veterans’ benefits suffer.
This is appalling.

60 years ago today, Democrats and Republicans came together to change the course of American history.
Today, only Democrats are keeping the promise to:
→ Protect Medicare.
→ Defend Medicaid.
→ Fight GOP cuts.
