Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialMar 26(source)

A group of DC residents was on Capitol Hill yesterday emphasizing the urgency of passing a standalone bill to fix DC’s treatment in the CR, which would force DC to cut a projected $1B halfway through the fiscal year. Thank you for your support!

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

The House must take up the Senate-passed bill to correct the treatment of DC as a federal agency in the CR. DC is not a federal agency. DC's local funds should not be regulated by officials DC residents didn't elect.

The unconscionable Republican CR cut $1 billion in funding for D.C. – funds that have literally already been paid for by D.C. residents. So we introduced a bill tonight to ensure that D.C. receives the tax dollars it is owed. The Senate just passed it.

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

I'll be on Fox 5 DC tonight discussing the status of the Senate-passed bill to fix an issue the continuing resolution imposed on DC, which would cost DC $1 billion+ halfway through its fiscal year. The House must pass this corrective bill. Watch in the 5:00 pm hour.

Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC)@eleanornorton.bsky.socialMar 21(source)

Today on #WorldDownSyndromeDay, I renew my call to pass my bill to remove the R word from Title 11 of the DC Code and replace it with more respectful terminology. I will keep fighting for people with Down syndrome like my beloved daughter, Katherine.

The House CR has lots of problems, but a big one is that it restricts how the District of Columbia spends its OWN money. This doesn't save a single federal tax dollar—it just treats DC residents like pawns. It's undemocratic and un-American. I will fight it on the Senate floor.

Thank you to DC’s allies in the Senate who worked to highlight and fix the intentional act of fiscal sabotage House Republicans committed against DC in the CR, particularly Senator Alsobrooks, who filed an amendment to fix the issue.
