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

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialAug 11(source)

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. Statement: bit.ly/45JmnBL

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.

President Trump threatened to take federal control of D.C. again after a DOGE staffer known as “Big Balls” was injured in an attempted carjacking. Trump has cast the Democratic-led capital as a place ruined by liberal policies.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialAug 8(source)

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. More: bit.ly/4ln4Yua

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialAug 8(source)

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

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialAug 7(source)

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. More: bit.ly/41xH3u1

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialAug 7(source)

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.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialAug 7(source)

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. #HandsOffDC

Democrats and Republicans agree that the public deserves transparency. I support the public release of the records related to the Epstein investigation. WaPo: bit.ly/4mcwKE7

House Republicans issue subpoena for Jeffrey Epstein files

The subpoena from a GOP-led House underscores the pressure President Donald Trump and Republicans are under to release the files as the president’s base continues to demand transparency.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialAug 4(source)

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. More: bit.ly/4mqOA5U

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialJul 31(source)

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. bit.ly/3UBoNfw

The federal government is paying more than 154,000 people not to work

Early resignation offers and other programs have reduced the workforce, but critics say the moves are also wasting money.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialJul 30(source)

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.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialJul 29(source)

I introduced my bill to require the head of the DC National Guard to live in DC. Adding a residency requirement will help ensure the Commanding General has in-depth knowledge of the issues and challenges DC residents face. More: bit.ly/40EQwQ3

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialJul 25(source)

When the first Trump admin relocated parts of USDA, 2/3 of employees left rather than move, draining critical institutional knowledge and harming USDA services. I introduced a bill to prohibit relocating agencies from the National Capital Region. bit.ly/3Uso6Fg

USDA will relocate most of its D.C.-based workforce

The department will relocate about 2,600 employees to five other locations and shutter several key facilities in the capital region, including its historic main research center.

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

I’m concerned about the food service workers in the House during the transition of operations from Sodexo. I urge the new operators to hire existing workers under the current terms and conditions of employment, including honoring their membership commitment to @unitehere23.

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

🚨Anti-DC home rule bill alert🚨 Rep. Hageman of WY and Sen. Lee of UT introduced an anti-DC home rule bill that would allow Congress to more easily overturn emergency legislation passed by the DC Council, altering the Home Rule Act. I’ll do all I can to stop it from becoming law.

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

As a longtime friend – okay, frenemy – of Stephen Colbert, I support an investigation of the actions of Paramount Global in its decision to cancel the Late Show after he spoke publicly against Trump, while Paramount seeks federal approval of a major merger.

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

My staff sent FEMA information on DC’s water supply a full week ago – and I’ve been sounding the alarm publicly for many years.

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

It's alarming that the acting director of FEMA wasn't aware until yesterday that DC only has one day's supply of backup drinking water to use if its sole source is contaminated. I can only conclude that FEMA isn't prepared to respond to this significant risk to DC & the operations of the fed gov.
