As AI shrinks the number of available entry-level jobs, we cannot afford to leave an entire generation behind.
I introduced my bill to expand AmeriCorps by 500K positions to give young people a path to meaningful careers.

Congress should abide by the laws it imposes on others, including those that protect employees.
I introduced my bill to subject the legislative branch to the same workplace laws that protect employees in the private sector and executive branch.
While these aren't the nominees I'd have recommended, I'm pleased the vacancies are being addressed.
I commend the Senate HSGAC for advancing 8 local DC judges towards confirmation yesterday.
Because local DC judges require Senate confirmation, DC faces a perpetual vacancy crisis that slows the court system and denies victims timely access to justice.
I’m outraged by the Oversight bill passed today, which would be the most consequential rollback of DC's home rule authority in modern history.
I'll keep fighting to stop this radical, undemocratic, and unworkable bill from further advancement.

@eleanornorton.bsky.social continues: this Congress has introduced over 130 bills, amendments, and riders that undermine DC laws. The only solution is DC statehood!
Rep. Comer's press release announcing the bill disingenuously blamed that billion-dollar shortfall on fictional overspending by DC. This is false.
Republicans in Congress intentionally caused last year's shortfall by forcing DC to revert to the prior year's spending levels.
Requiring Congress to proactively approve changes to DC's tax code would prevent DC from taking fiscally responsible measures to address abrupt cash flow shortages — of the type Congress itself is known to cause.
This bill would be the most consequential reduction in D.C.’s authority to govern itself since the D.C. Home Rule Act was passed in 1973 – the entire modern history of DC home rule.
It would effectively take away DC’s authority over its tax code, including the ability to cut or eliminate taxes.
Oversight will mark up a bill today that would strip DC of authority over its own tax code, preventing the District from cutting taxes.
This bill would be the most consequential reduction in DC's authority to govern itself in the modern history of DC home rule.
Remarks:
This morning at 10:00 Oversight will mark up a bill introduced by Chairman Comer intended to constrain DC's ability to raise taxes, but was so badly drafted that it would also prevent DC from cutting taxes without congressional approval.

Yesterday I wrote a letter to Rep. Comer opposing tomorrow's meeting to adopt the "DC Taxing Authority Review Act." Congress already has the authority to disapprove tax increases adopted by the Council. The bill would straightjacket the District and paralyze our tax code.
My full letter below:
Eligible voters in fed custody can't exercise their fundamental right to vote unless they're given information on how to cast a ballot.
I introduced a bill with Rep. Pingree to require BOP to provide info on registration & absentee ballots to people from jurisdictions that allow them to vote.
Oversight will mark up a badly drafted bill on Wednesday that Republicans intend to prevent DC from raising taxes without congressional approval.
In reality, the bill would prevent DC from cutting taxes by stripping DC’s authority over its own tax code.
Modernized technology systems can help reduce fraudulent claims, but they should not come at the expense of access to vital social safety net programs.
I'll use this afternoon's Gov Ops hearing to highlight the need to balance these interests.

There's an urgent need to protect DC's drinking water & infrastructure from critical vulnerabilities, and today’s committee-passed WRDA takes significant strides to address these issues.
I’m pleased T&I voted to maintain several critical provisions I got included to benefit D.C.
The Trump Admin must stop treating DC like a tear-down property it purchased to renovate as it pleases.
I introduced a bill to prohibit new fencing at the White House.
A nation confident in its ideals doesn't wall off the institutions that carry them out from public view. Rather, it puts them in full view and remains open to the people it serves.
I introduced a bill to protect DC public servants whose retirement benefits were cut by the 1997 Revitalization Act.
My bill fixes technical retirement gaps for dedicated teachers, police, firefighters and judges, ensuring they receive the federal pension benefits they earned.
