I introduced my Emancipation Day resolution to mark the date when President Lincoln freed 3,100 enslaved individuals in DC, nine months before the Emancipation Proclamation.
The holiday has new significance this year, as DC is actively denied autonomy over its own local budget.

I've raised the alarm about oversaturated airspace and runway crowding at DCA for years, yet Congress added 10 flights in 2024.
We’ve now seen two collisions at DCA in the last three months.
Today's ground collision had members of Congress on board. We cannot let this continue.
After Senator Mike Lee told WaPo he’d introduce yet another piece of anti-home rule legislation, I urged him to turn his attention to his own constituents and cease his harassment of mine.
DC can handle its own affairs.

Today on Dolores Huerta's birthday I'm standing with @RepSylviaGarcia as she leads the charge to create a national Dolores Huerta Day — honoring a labor leader and feminist activist who showed us that justice takes courage.

Thank you to the group from DC's own Capital Village PCS for stopping by my office on Capitol Hill to learn more about what I do in Congress!
Due to a quirk in federal law, @USRCDC is not eligible for federal grant funding.
@vanhollen.senate.gov and I introduced a bill to remedy this so Union Station can get the funding it needs for upgrades and renovations.

I announced the application process through my office for FY 26 Community Project Funding requests.
All projects that were included for FY 25 are eligible, but they must be resubmitted for consideration by 5:00 pm on Monday, 4/21.

DC's local budget is still handcuffed by the recent CR. If the House does not pass the Senate fix bill and DC is left to spend at its FY24 levels, it would cut a projected $1b.
Deborah Barfield Berry covered the problem from a DC resident's POV for USA Today.

Congress has passed many of my bills for orderly disposal of federal property in DC.
None of my bills involve putting 100+ federal buildings for sale at the same time, as I highlighted in today's DOGE hearing.
DC has to transmit its legislation to Congress for a review period, but precedent dictates that this must be done physically, not electronically.
I introduced a bill to explicitly allow the DC Council to transmit its legislation electronically.
Tofig Yagublu is an Azerbaijani activist who, according to @hrw and @amnesty, is being held political prisoner for his political activities and to deter other government critics.
Tofiq is also the father of one of my constituents. I urge @SecRubio to secure his release.
DC residents contact me regularly about the negative impact train noise and vibrations have on their health, quality of life, and even the structural integrity of their homes.
I introduced a bill to address the problem.
Rep. Chris Smith introduced an anti-home rule bill to rename part of 18th St. NW in Dupont Circle.
DC is not a blank slate for Congress to fill in as it pleases, over the will of 700K people who live here permanently.
Rep. Chris Smith's disapproval resolution on DC's Insurance Regulation Amendment Act is a fumbled attempted attack on DC home rule, coming too late to have any effect.
The congressional review period on the DC law, as governed by the Home Rule Act, has already expired.
Congratulations to DC’s own Sukey Hayden and Joe Book for winning 2nd place in CSPAN’s StudentCam documentary competition.

The President has said House Republicans should bring the D.C. budget fix bill to the floor.
We should get this passed immediately.

I introduced a resolution to designate March 27, 2025 as "Tuskegee Airmen Commemoration Day."
The elite corps of African American pilots, crew and others fought in WWII and paved the way for desegregation of the US military.

President Trump's EO on DC is thoroughly anti-home rule and insulting to 700K DC residents who live in close proximity to a federal government that continues to deny them the same rights given to other Americans.
Statement: bit.ly/4j8veB3
I'll speak at a press conference at 2:00 pm with my National Capital Region colleagues to support the introduction of @repsuhas.bsky.social’s bill to require federal agencies seeking to relocate to conduct a cost-benefit analysis and share it with Congress first.
