The residents of all 50 states get 2 votes in the Senate on these DC matters: local budget, local judges, federal circuit and district court judges, and many others. How many votes do the 705,000 federal taxying residents of DC get on these matters? 0. #DCStatehood now. https://t.co/HaZJMvJyRD

Today @ noon I’m holding a press conference along with reps from @NALC_National, American Postal Workers Union and ANCs to address the damage done by #PostmasterGeneralDeJoy in delaying essential #USPS services to constituents. Watch live here: https://t.co/yktJy7zb2f

2/DC has historically received the same federal funding as states because DC residents pay federal income taxes. In the face of a global pandemic, Senate Republicans and the President must not deny DC and its more than 700,000 residents the funding to save lives and livelihoods.

DC is fortunate to have such distinguished and extraordinary friends like @ChrisVanHollen and @SenatorCarper, who are champions not only of #DCStatehood and home rule, but also of equal federal funding for DC. DC and I could not ask for better partners.
Thank you @ChrisVanHollen and @SenatorCarper for introducing my bills giving DC control over its National Guard and repealing the president’s authority to federalize the DC police. These bills are critical after the occupation of DC streets by federal police and troops.

This is the last day to vote in person or by mail. #DC residents, who do not have full voting rights in Congress, should be sure to use the vote we do have. https://t.co/tdUIBskbFQ
Today, Tuesday June 2, is #PrimaryDay in DC. Even if there is an earlier curfew, city authorities have said residents will be permitted to proceed to the polls until they close at 8PM.
Turn on @MSNBC during the 10:00 am hour, when I'm scheduled to discuss #GeorgeFloyd, the protests and curfew enacted in DC, and President Trump's photo op in front of #St.John ’s Church last night.
Tune into CNN at 2:00 to hear me speak to @camanpour about George Floyd's tragic death and the ensuing protests over the weekend. #ChristianeAmanpour
100,000 American lives lost to #coronavirus. 100,000 grandparents, siblings, aunts, uncles, cousins. Coworkers, neighbors, spouses, friends. Souls. Take a moment to remember those we’ve lost, then return to the fight. If we follow the science, these senseless losses will end. https://t.co/hf4Hhzf1yo
Tune in to WUSA9 tonight at 7:00. I’ll be on discussing my work ensuring consistent mail delivery in the District during this time when we’re more reliant than ever on mail.
I appreciate that @USFederalPrison has agreed to my request to send as many Hope Village residents to home confinement as possible.
