When coverage of local gov and communities is hollowed out, the public loses transparency, trust, and critical information they need to make informed voting decisions.
I stand with the journalists whose work informs, protects, and gives voice to DC residents.

Today’s cuts at WaPo are a blow to local transparency and accountability in the nation’s capital.
A strong local press is essential to democracy, especially in DC, where residents already face federal overreach, as evidenced by the resolution the House is voting on today.
The resolution the House is voting on today to repeal a local DC law isn’t governance or oversight.
It’s deliberate sabotage, and the damage will be severe and intentional.
I released my remarks ahead of speaking on the House floor opposing the resolution.
Thank you to Leader Jeffries for whipping members to vote against the anti-DC resolution on the House floor today.
This Republican effort is nothing short of deliberate sabotage of DC, in the middle of its tax filing season.
This resolution is not about oversight or fiscal discipline.
It’s about power – who wields it, and who is denied it.

At the start of Black History Month, I introduced a bill to posthumously award a Congressional Gold Medal to the first 13 Black officers in the U.S. Navy.
These men served their country honorably, including overseeing all-Black units and the training of Black recruits.
The disapproval resolution the House will vote on tomorrow is nothing short of deliberate administrative and fiscal sabotage of the nation’s capital.
I released my remarks ahead of this morning’s press conference with Senator Van Hollen and DC Vote.

Today at 11:00 AM, I’ll speak at a press conference with Senator Van Hollen, DC Vote, and Free DC opposing the House resolution to overturn a locally enacted DC tax law.
The House is expected to debate and vote on the resolution tomorrow.

Federal workers and contractors – and their jobs – should never be used as leverage in political standoffs.
I'm proud to co-lead a bill to ensure workers are paid and RIFs prohibited during a shutdown in FY 26.
Federal workers shouldn't bear the cost of Congress's failures.
Today at 4:00, the House Rules Committee will consider a resolution that would overturn portions of DC’s tax law – in the middle of tax filing season.
This isn’t governance or oversight. It’s deliberate sabotage, and the damage would be severe and intentional.
As Minnesota’s Chief Federal Judge held, “ICE is not a law unto itself.”
I strongly support an independent investigation into the unjustified killing of Renee Good and voted in committee to subpoena camera footage and related records.
We must have accountability.
I strongly oppose any funding for immigration agencies within DHS until I see proof of meaningful and significant reforms to the current violent, inhumane, and immoral enforcement practices.
Now that the news is out, I’m getting back to work for DC.
Given the Anacostia Community Museum’s importance to DC and the region, I’m pleased to share that the FY26 Interior Appropriations bill, signed Jan. 23, includes over $3 million in funding for this local and national treasure.
With fire in my soul and the facts on my side, I’ve raised hell about the injustice of denying DC the same rights given to residents of the states for 35 years.
Now, with pride in our accomplishments, gratitude to DC, and confidence in the future, I announced I'll retire at the end of this term.
Ahead of this weekend's projected snowstorm, I remind DC residents that I get a provision passed each year to allow sledding on Capitol Hill.
The West Front of the Capitol is one of the best sledding hills in DC, and USCP confirmed this morning it'll be open.
Barring commercial filming at the Capitol, one of the world's most recognizable symbols of democracy, is inconsistent with our country's values.
I introduced my bill to allow commercial filming throughout the grounds of the Capitol complex when the House and Senate are out of session.
I'm pleased the Senate passed funding for two of the community projects I championed:
✅$1.8m for water infrastructure projects
✅$1m for research equipment at Georgetown
I'll continue to secure federal investments for DC.
Although I was able to get 17/20 anti-DC provisions stripped from the DC approps bill the House passed and secure a historic DCTAG increase, the remaining riders once again impose policies on 700K DC residents without their consent.
The ultimate remedy is #DCStatehood.
Although I’m disappointed that two anti-DC riders remain in the DC appropriations bill passed by Rules yesterday, I’m encouraged that 17 harmful riders were stripped from the House’s original text.
I'll keep fighting to protect DC’s right to govern itself.
