I kept such politically self-serving interference from passing even when Democrats were in the minority, and I will do the same with our House majority. Serve your own constituents, @RepJimBanks. #HandsOffDC

Last week, @RepJimBanks introduced a bill that would make DC use local funds to pay for private schools. Congress has repeatedly rejected private school vouchers nationally, yet Banks hypocritically would impose them on my district. Won’t happen, Jim. #HandsOffDC

700,000 DC residents are #1 in fed taxes/capita, but they won't have a say tomorrow when the Senate takes one of its most critical votes in decades. DC residents have earned their right in blood and treasure to cast a vote on Kavanaugh and every matter in Congress. #DCStatehood.

I joined many of our Capper Senior Building neighbors this afternoon to talk about next steps. They’re taking it a day at a time, and the road ahead will be long. But you can help them with a contribution to the Capper Senior Relief Fund: capitolhillcommunityfoundati…

Stopped by one of my favorite coffee ☕️ spots in #NYC! @thinkcoffeenyc @nyuniversity dropped off some #DC Statehood knowledge! We need you to tell your Senate and House members to sponsor The Washington DC Admission Act (S. 1278; HR 1291) Tell All! @dcvote #HandsOffDC @51stDC

Yup, I’m Muriel Bowser, mayor of Washington DC, the local politician who finally got thru to the reality star in the White House with the realities ($21.6M) of parades/events/demonstrations in Trump America (sad). – at Washington, DC

The local politicians who run Washington, D.C. (poorly) know a windfall when they see it. When asked to give us a price for holding a great celebratory military parade, they wanted a number so ridiculously high that I cancelled it. Never let someone hold you up! I will instead...

America’s true might is in our principles/moral authority. Here in DC, we value diversity, human rights, freedom, self-expression, & creativity. A parade showcases military hardware once. We can/should show off our values, through our actions, 24/7/365. And it doesn’t cost a cent

Very much & sincerely appreciate the support. Let’s make it very clear - more than 700,000 Americans that call DC home deserve full representation in Congress.

Sorry ‘bout it Ted - might be time to get used to losing. @BetoORourke will be more focused on his constituents than making the District of Columbia his ideological playground. #handsoffdc

The Senate is expected to begin consideration of its DC appropriations bill today. I am working closely with Senators and our allies to defeat anti-home-rule amendments that may be offered by opportunistic Members. #HandsOffDC

More than thumbed their noses. This is an affront to democratic values - one the District has been living with since home rule. This WaPo column is a good refresher why our fight is far from over. xitter.cf/ellasperson/status/101…

#handsoffDC We have a right to Home rule!!!! Republicans on the Hill just thumbed their noses at D.C. washingtonpost.com/opinions/…

Opinion | Republicans on the Hill just thumbed their noses at D.C.

District residents should mobilize to fight anti-home-rule riders in the 2019 D.C. appropriations bill.

Rocking the Red here in Congress after an outsized win by DC’s @Capitals! Refused to stop winning games—four straight to close out the series. Drafting a congressional resolution to celebrate our first #StanleyCup in franchise history! #ALLCAPS

@NJDC07, one of the best advocates working on the Hill, remembers her first trip at age 8 to Capitol Hill with her Mom to try to make Martin Luther King Jr’s birthday a holiday. “So things change.” – at Washington, DC

At the Statehood training: “When the District passes laws, if a random congress member from Virginia or Texas or Maryland decides to intervene or pass a budget rider that limits how your tax dollars are spent, your voice is silenced.” @charlesallen
