Just in case anyone forgot about this energy in June. For a VIOLIN VIGIL.

Hard not to remember that a violin vigil for Elijah McClain got tear gassed.

It has not escaped my attention that the day social media companies decided there actually IS more they could do to police Trump’s destructive behavior was the same day they learned Democrats would chair all the congressional committees that oversee them.

I cannot stop thinking about how close the 1-2-3 in the line of presidential succession, VP-Speaker-Pro tempore came to being physically harmed on Weds. The terrorists had operable bombs, killed an officer and ransacked difficult to access areas of the Capitol. We need answers.

An anthem I can get behind.

NEW: Speaker Pelosi implementing FINES for members who don't wear a mask on the House floor $500 fine for first offense. $2,500 for second office. Fines will be deducted from Member pay (no use of campaign funds or MRA for fines).

I'd like to teach y'all a Southern phrase that will help you get off a phone/Zoom/Facetime call or you don't want to be on anymore but don't have an excuse to leave. Let me introduce you to the power of "Well, let me let you go"

This has moved past the insurrection attempt. We’ve learned that GOP members gave tours to insurrectionists, coordinated with their leaders, and are trying to carry guns on the House floor. They're putting barriers around the Capitol, but the threat is on the inside right now.

today’s the last day a woman has never been vice president

I’m here today because of the women who came before me.

Any job creation proposal that isn’t paired with access to subsidized child care is a glorified career fair for men.

Happy to be partnering on this search with HumanitiesDC. Let me know if I can fill you in on the details!

500,000 dead Americans: who needs a mask! 2 cases of voter fraud in 2020: let’s pass 165 new voter suppression laws!

Half of employees who make under $15 an hour get food stamps, Medicaid and welfare. This costs taxpayers $107 billion a year. So instead of paying a few cents more for a hamburger, you're paying billions more to subsidize corporations paying literal poverty wages.

21: excited for shots!!!! 2021: excited for shots!!!!!

If you watch anything today...

The repeated audacity to ask Mayor Muriel Bowser, a black woman, if the founders envisioned #DCStatehood when they couldn't envision her a full person, a full citizen, or her sitting before congress testifying in this chamber as an argument to deny democracy is callous & unconscionable.

The The Kojo Nnamdi Show is one of the most important ways people understand why DC (not Washington) works the way it does. It was a joy to have been a guest, and can't overestimate the thrill it is to have Kojo say your name aloud!
