I’m proud to join Senator Ted Cruz in introducing the CLEAN D.C. Act. Our legislation builds on President Donald J. Trump’ historic action to make D.C. beautiful and safe again by reversing the liberal D.C. City Council’s reckless 2022 law that lessens penalties for violent crimes. 🔗:

DC is always a ghost town in August due to congressional recess and even local government is known to use August for vacation. There’s also no possible way you’re unaware of that.

More juveniles killing innocent DC residents. I wonder how many times these two have been involved with AG Brian Schwalb's office before the shooting?

DC Police Union Chairman says National Guard's effect is 'night and day.’ Union Chairman Gregg Pemberton talks about the National Guard's occupancy in D.C. foxnews.com/video/63786348…

Later this week Oversight Committee voting on lengthening minimum sentence for rape in DC. Bill authored by Andy Biggs. I support increasing rape sentences. Angered that the DC Council spent the past 10 years writing laws that help convicted rapists.

Charles Allen This happened a half mile from there…

What’s actually happening here is that Charles Allen broke our criminal justice system. Now Congress is fixing it.

Today, we pause to honor the nearly 3,000 people killed that day, the thousands who have succumbed to 9/11-related illnesses since, and the service and sacrifice of the first responders who put themselves in harm’s way to save lives. We will never forget. #september11th

An “anti-violence worker” has been given a 22-year federal sentence for shooting a man during a carjacking spree in 2022. (He was also part of a group that helped young people manage anger.) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ cwbchicago.com/2025/09/anti-v…

Do you believe a 24-year-old should be considered a child under laws like the DC Youth Rehabilitation Act?

On Wednesday the D.C. Council is expected to approve a 13% pay raise for police officers in the city. The total cost will be $312 million over 4 years. The pay raises are retroactive for two years, prospective for one. Starting salary for an officer will jump to $75k from $66k.

We must continue supporting our local law enforcement to protect our city. We will continue to add officers to DC Police Department and these raises will help that goal.

Today, we remember the tragic events of the Navy Yard shooting, which occurred on this day in 2013. We honor the twelve innocent lives lost and the bravery of the first responders who risked their own safety to protect others. As we reflect on this solemn anniversary, we continue

Take a bow, Charles Allen !

In response to Phil Mendelson calling head of DC Police Union a liar multiple times Chairman of Police Union Gregg Pemberton stated, “I hope that Chairman Mendelson has time to correct or amend his testimony, before he himself is investigated for perjury and lying to Congress.”

President Trump has made D.C. safe again. Congress must ensure our nation’s capital stays safe by passing my CLEAN D.C. Act to repeal the D.C. Council’s anti-police law.

In a statement to 7News, Pemberton fired back: “I hope that Chairman Mendelson has time to correct or amend his testimony before he himself is investigated for perjury and lying to Congress.” bit.ly/4gxWdFZ

DC Council Chairman Phil Mendelson voted to defund the police, yet he demands taxpayer-funded, 24/7 personal security. If that weren’t bad enough, DC Police Union further exposed his disgraceful conduct and stated he “hates cops.”

Without any evidence and, in fact, incorrectly, Phil Mendelson called the DC Police Union president a liar not once, but twice yesterday during a hearing on Capitol Hill. We still haven't heard any explanation from Mendelson.

Violence Interruption is a grift. “McDaniel, 43, pleaded guilty in March to taking a bribe while she was serving as deputy director of the Office of Neighborhood Safety and Engagement. The office oversees a program that partners with violence interrupters in high-conflict
