I've heard from constituents concerned that the "Big Beautiful Bill" passed last week cut DCTAG – it didn't. Although the president's fiscal year 2026 budget did propose eliminating funding for DCTAG, rest assured that I'll do everything in my power to defend the program.

Extreme heat is especially dangerous for those who work outdoors, and DC is no stranger to extreme heat. Whether you’re outside for work or for leisure, please take steps to protect yourself.

It is ironic that D.C. experiences taxation without representation, which happens to be one of the main reasons our nation declared independence from Britain. MORE: bit.ly/44q4aHK

As America Gets Closer to its Semiquincentennial, Norton Says D.C. Statehood is Long Overdue

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) said that, as the nation approaches its 249th anniversary of declaring independence from Great Britain in part because of taxation without...

"Godfather of Go-Go" Chuck Brown loved DC. He gifted DC with its signature musical sound and embraced the cause of #DCStatehood, performing a historic concert in 2010 at the Capitol. I introduced a bill to rename a post office in NE after him. Statement: bit.ly/3HY8PJg

Since January we've witnessed attempt after attempt to destroy the ability of federal agencies to deliver services to the public. We cannot allow President Trump and the so-called Department of Government Efficiency to do the same to the Postal Service.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialJun 24(source)

The Trump Administration is gutting the civil service because they won't blindly break the law on President Trump’s behalf. If we want to fight waste, fraud and abuse in the federal government, the best cut we can make is the Department of Government Efficiency itself.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialJun 24(source)

Federal workers ensure: ✅Social Security checks go out on time ✅ Veterans get health care ✅ Drinking water is uncontaminated ✅ Planes land safely Their work is critical to our government and making sure people, families and communities get the services they need.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialJun 24(source)

Federal workers are essential not just to the fabric of the District of Columbia, but to the functioning of the federal government and, in turn, to the well-being of every American. I'll defend them in today's DOGE hearing. Watch at 10:00: bit.ly/40iCLpP

Roe fell three years ago today. Without the protections of Roe or #DCStatehood, women in DC are uniquely vulnerable to members of Congress from other districts obstructing their access to reproductive health care.

As ranking member of the Subcommittee on Highways & Transit, I wrote GAO requesting a study on railway noise pollution, which can cause structural damage and negative health effects. If there are viable ways to mitigate these harms, we should find and implement them.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialJun 23(source)

The DC Zoning Commission consists of two federal officials -- even though it has no authority over federal property. I introduced a bill today to put the commission entirely in DC's hands. Statement: bit.ly/3T0cGbc

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialJun 20(source)

Today is World Refugee Day. I am an original cosponsor of the Lady Liberty Act of 2025, which would require the admission of at least 125K refugees a year. I will continue to work with colleagues in the House and Senate to welcome and support refugees.

No one should be excluded from jury service due to sexual orientation or gender identity, so during #PrideMonth I introduced my bill to clarify that for DC residents at the DC Superior Court. Only Congress can amend the DC Code provision on the courts. MORE: bit.ly/4kQGW4F

During Pride Month, Norton Introduces Bill to Ban Discrimination Against LGBTQ+ Jurors in D.C. Superior Court

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC) today, during Pride Month, reintroduced her District of Columbia Local Juror Non-Discrimination Act. The bill would clarify that D.C. resi...

Last week I was honored to receive an award from the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability for my work to eliminate nuclear weapons. I will continue to fight to eliminate nuclear weapons worldwide, including by passing my bill, the Nuclear Weapons Abolition and Conversion Act.

I’ve long been known as DC's Warrior on the Hill. As in 2021, when I got the House to pass the #DCStatehood bill for the second time in history, DC has a warrior in Congress who not only fights back – I enjoy fighting back.

Ahead of Flag Day, I introduced my bill to allow the president to order the flag flown at half-staff in the event of the DC mayor's death, the same gesture of respect that governors of states receive. #DCStatehood Statement: bit.ly/4e32qsq

Trump's longstanding wish for a performative military parade is coming true on his birthday. His wish comes at the literal expense of DC, which will shoulder the cost of repairing damage to the roads and the inconvenience of widespread road closures.

Congratulations to Megan Duncan, a junior at Georgetown Visitation and winner of my office's Congressional Art Competition this year! Her depiction of a room with a view of the mountains of Patagonia will hang in the Capitol for a year.
