Rocking the Red here in Congress after an outsized win by DC’s Washington Capitals! Refused to stop winning games—four straight to close out the series. Drafting a congressional resolution to celebrate our first #StanleyCup in franchise history! #ALLCAPS

We’re all #ALLCAPS, but your picture is just MV, not DMV. But if you’re ready to support #DCStatehood, give us a call! x.com/markwarner/sta…

More than thumbed their noses. This is an affront to democratic values - one the District has been living with since home rule. This WaPo column is a good refresher why our fight is far from over. x.com/ellasperson/st…

The Senate is expected to begin consideration of its DC appropriations bill today. I am working closely with Senators and our allies to defeat anti-home-rule amendments that may be offered by opportunistic Members. #HandsOffDC

Sorry ‘bout it Ted - might be time to get used to losing. Beto O'Rourke will be more focused on his constituents than making the District of Columbia his ideological playground. #handsoffdc

Very much & sincerely appreciate the support. Let’s make it very clear - more than 700,000 Americans that call DC home deserve full representation in Congress.

Yup, I’m Muriel Bowser, mayor of Washington DC, the local politician who finally got thru to the reality star in the White House with the realities ($21.6M) of parades/events/demonstrations in Trump America (sad).

America’s true might is in our principles/moral authority. Here in DC, we value diversity, human rights, freedom, self-expression, & creativity. A parade showcases military hardware once. We can/should show off our values, through our actions, 24/7/365. And it doesn’t cost a cent

Stopped by one of my favorite coffee ☕️ spots in #NYC! @thinkcoffeenyc New York University dropped off some #DC Statehood knowledge! We need you to tell your Senate and House members to sponsor The Washington DC Admission Act (S. 1278; HR 1291) Tell All! @dcvote #HandsOffDC @51stDC

I joined many of our Capper Senior Building neighbors this afternoon to talk about next steps. They’re taking it a day at a time, and the road ahead will be long. But you can help them with a contribution to the Capper Senior Relief Fund: capitolhillcommunityfoundation.com/news/2018/9/20…

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. #DCStatehood.

Last week, @RepJimBanks introduced a bill that would make DC use local funds to pay for private schools. Congress has repeatedly rejected private school vouchers nationally, yet Banks hypocritically would impose them on my district. Won’t happen, Jim. #HandsOffDC

I kept such politically self-serving interference from passing even when Democrats were in the minority, and I will do the same with our House majority. Serve your own constituents, @RepJimBanks. #HandsOffDC
