Thank you to DC Vote, which has been one of the leaders in the fight against the recent major home rule attacks on DC.
I am grateful for their leading this letter with numerous other national organizations.

The Trump administration has deployed more than 2,000 National Guard troops to DC who are wholly unaccountable to DC residents.
I introduced a critical bill to require them to follow the same body camera requirements that MPD officers do.
Details: bit.ly/47gY6Va
Today I wrote DoD and the National Guard Bureau demanding answers on the scope, legal parameters, mission and cost of the unwarranted deployment of National Guard troops in DC.

Happy Anniversary to my friends at Ben’s Chili Bowl! No matter what obstacles D.C. faces, Ben’s stands tall.
I am excited to return to their historic U Street location once the renovation is complete.
Who defined a genre and made his music the heartbeat of DC? Chuck Brown!
Today, I introduced a resolution to designate August 22 as Chuck Brown Day to honor his contributions to our city and nation.

We know you don't care, Scott. The same is true of the president and Republican members of Congress, who don’t represent DC.
This clip encapsulates why we need #DCStatehood: It’s the only way DC will permanently escape having policies it disagrees with being forced on its 700K+ residents.
If public safety were the goal instead of the pretext for seizing control of local DC resources, federal support would be directed towards violence prevention. Instead, troops are guarding monuments and the National Mall.
Lowering crime isn’t the goal here – control is.

Washington DC’s 700,000+ residents deserve federal representation.
DC statehood now.
Notably, 8/10 people in DC oppose Trump's law enforcement surge and the unlawful federalization of MPD.
Trump's rhetoric characterizing DC as crime-ridden is contradicted by both the objective numbers and the subjective experience of DC residents, according to a new WaPo poll.
The number of residents who say crime is a serious problem dropped by 34% since last year.
Aiming to attend one of our nation's prestigious military service academies? Applications for nominations are due November 3.
We'll announce details about our in-person Service Academy Night event in the days to come. Stay tuned.

After federal law enforcement were filmed in DC using excessive force, obscuring their own faces and refusing to identify their agency, @RepDonBeyer and I announced we'll reintroduce our bill requiring body and dashboard cameras when Congress returns.

When roving gangs of law enforcement conduct violent arrests, obscuring their faces and refusing to identify themselves, people eat out less.
The president's partisan political play is hurting real people, including workers and small business owners in the restaurant industry.
Attention DC middle and high school students: The annual Congressional App Challenge has begun!

DC pays the most in federal income taxes per capita in the nation, yet DC was excluded from a health program in the BBB, likely depriving the District of $100s of millions.
I introduced a bill to make DC eligible, the same way states are.
What makes DC’s ordeal this week even worse?
Trump is using DC as a stage and DC residents as props in a political play to distract from his Epstein problem.
This is unacceptable.
Reposted byCongresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)
Trump seized control of DC to distract from the Epstein files. The political games must stop.
Today, House and Senate Democrats, led by Ranking Member Robert Garcia, introduced a resolution to put an end to Trump’s takeover of DC.
I was pleased to support DC's defense of home rule by attending today's hearing in the lawsuit DC filed against the Trump Administration.
Although DOJ rightfully restored control of MPD to DC Police Chief Smith, we must pass the legislation I introduced to end the unlawful federalization of MPD.
Jamie, thank you for your enduring support for DC.
Reposted byCongresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)
Trump can't militarize the capital city to distract us from his refusal to release the Epstein file.
Today @eleanornorton.bsky.social, @robertgarcia.bsky.social, @vanhollen.senate.gov and I are introducing legislation to end Trump’s hostile and lawless takeover of D.C.’s police force.
