I'll join @LokayFox5 tonight to discuss Speaker Pelosi's departure from House leadership and the judicial vacancy crisis in the local DC courts. Watch at 11:30 on Fox 5 DC.
Today, I called on the Senate to address the judicial vacancy crisis in local DC courts. The Senate must devote time before the end of the Congress to confirm the 8 pending nominees. The vacancies are harming public safety and access to justice in DC. https://t.co/tpGaUEES7p
I spoke to @SCBrady about pay equity and my bill requiring employers to provide salary ranges in job postings. As the former chair of the @USEEOC, I’ve introduced 3 bills this Congress to combat the gender and racial pay gap. Read the article here: https://t.co/E2lBBTseQD
Under the Constitution, Congress has plenary authority over both DC and the territories. Congress has chosen to give the territories prosecutorial, clemency, and legislative autonomy. Congress should choose to give them to DC, too. Markup statement below. (5/5) https://t.co/b3zfuAyIjQ

@HarryJaffe covered the unique threat to abortion access in DC now that Roe has been overturned. A future Republican Congress could ban all abortions in DC. #DCStatehood #HandsOffDC Read it here: https://t.co/UG32anhvzf
Today, I released my remarks for the keel-laying ceremony for the USS Columbia, the first ship named after DC. As the largest, most capable sub produced by the US, it's fitting that it is named after what will be the #51stState. Release: https://t.co/5LLsH857P4

@JBurchDC @BoShuff @raviperry @StudentsforDC @HUforDC @NJDC07 Could you bring me one?
While our goal is #DCStatehood, I’ve been busy introducing bills to get equality for DC until we achieve it. I call these my #FreeAndEqualDC series of bills. https://t.co/I9BvHQKmFu
Congress denies DC the authority to prosecute most crimes committed by adults under DC law. All states and the territories have the authority to prosecute crimes under their laws. My #DCStatehood bill would fix that, as would my DC Prosecutor Home Rule Act.
