    It was an absolute thrill having the Stanley Cup visit my office today as we celebrated the first-ever championship! Thanks to all the Caps fans who stood in the long line to see the trophy!

    I’m introducing a bill to strip the federal of its authority to review local DC projects, my 4th bill to remove fed gov’t from local DC land-use decisions that don’t affect fed interests. Pending , Congress can expand home rule now!

    Thank you for cosponsoring our bill, bringing us to 90% House Democrats! Our cosponsors are responding to millions of Americans who are fighting with us for equal citizenship for DC residents, the only Americans who pay fed taxes w/out representation.

    Today I submitted my statement in opposition to the Trump administration’s proposal to limit free speech in front of the White House and on National Mall as a public comment. The public comment period ends tonight at midnight. You can weigh in here:

    4/ If the Trump Administration chooses to move forward, they will have to deal with me, my colleagues in Congress, and, I believe, the courts, to justify these proposals.

    3/ Security concerns cited by NPS do not hold water considering the newly enhanced White House fence, which I specifically worked on here in Congress, both to protect the White House and to ensure that public access to the White House sidewalk would be maintained.

    2/ This is the nation’s capital, the seat of our national democratic government and, consequently, where First Amendment rights are most often exercised on virtually every issue by Americans of all colors, creeds, and beliefs.

    1/ I will be fiercely fighting the Trump’s administration’s unconstitutional proposal to limit free speech in front of the White House and on the National Mall and impose fees for First Amendment permits.

    Today is the 20th anniversary of the assault and murder of Matthew Shepard. I cosponsored a resolution to honor Matthew’s life, condemn bigotry and violence, and affirm our fight for equality. Later this month, Matthew will be interred in DC at the National Cathedral.

    It’s not over yet. Dr. Blasey Ford presented an almost uniquely strong allegation of sexual abuse. Read my Facebook post about what made her case so authentic and inspiring and how Americans can make 2018 another “Year of the Woman.”

    Republicans have just sent a chilling message to survivors of sexual assault with the Kavanaugh confirmation: stay silent. In 1992, the Year of the Woman, voters sent their own message: We believe Anita Hill. In 2018, voters can do the same for Dr. Ford.

    I'm introducing a bill to strip federal of its authority to review and approve projects on DC-owned land. DC should never be treated as a federal agency. Pending , I’ve introduced 15 bills this Congress to expand home rule.

    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. .

    Tune into at 7pm as I join to discuss how the Republican Senate’s calculated march to confirm Kavanaugh is turning into an insult to Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and to all women.

    It took work to get a congressional agreement to reverse Trump’s cancellation of a scheduled pay increase to federal workers. We will get beyond these token pay raises for our much-deprived civil servants when there is a change in control of Congress.

    Our Champion have started the 2018-19 season right where they left off. After raising the Stanley Cup banner, they laid the hammer down on the Bruins with a 7-0 rout. DC’s ready to do it again.

    The Champions.
