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

Today, on #EqualPayDay, I highlighted the three bills I have introduced this Congress to help close the pay gap for women and minorities. As the first woman to chair the US EEOC, I've fought my entire career to ensure fairer workplaces. Release: https://t.co/5pzysiBC8H
It’s time for the Capitol to reopen to visitors. DC relies heavily on its tourist economy. Vaccines have made tourism in DC safe, and Capitol security has improved since J6th. Reopen the Capitol and let people enjoy its many offerings. See my release: https://t.co/sB9KrGlCYo https://t.co/slex4zjI1p
@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.

As I have consistently done in the past, I will defeat these attacks on DC home rule. #HandsOffDC #DCStatehood Details: https://t.co/Mx42BiDbyV
1) Education: Four attacks on DC education policy. 2) Guns: One attack on DC gun policy. 3) Health Care: 11 attacks on DC vaccine and abortion policies. 5) Law Enforcement: Three attacks on DC law enforcement policy. 6) Transportation: two attacks on DC traffic laws.
Only #DCStatehood would give DC complete control over its local affairs and voting representation in the House + Senate. When DC is a state, Congress will no longer be able to meddle in DC’s affairs. https://t.co/deMoLEEZ65
President Nixon signed the DC Home Rule Act into law on this day in 1973, giving DC an elected chief executive and legislature. However, under the Constitution, Congress retains final authority on all DC matters.

Today, I sent a letter to my House Democrats asking for their support in my run for chair of @TransportDems in the 118th Congress.
With #DCStatehod, Congress will no longer be able to tell DC how it can spend its own money. https://t.co/aHY7qudTPo
Today, I reintroduced my bill to repeal a redundant federal law making it a crime for a person in DC to obstruct any bridge connecting DC and Virginia.
I met with @POTUS + @SecretaryButtigieg when they were writing the historic #infrastructure legislation, which is now on the president’s desk, and I'm pleased they included my priorities for DC. Today, I highlighted benefits in the bill for DC. Details: https://t.co/yMivLCKjXS
