I was deeply honored to receive the Lifetime Impact Award yesterday from @NDSS.   This recognition has profound personal significance for me and my kind, brave daughter, Katherine. I'll always be a proud, fierce advocate for the Down syndrome community.

The President’s militarization of the streets of D.C. violates D.C.’s right to self-government, is based on a lie and is un-American, authoritarian, ineffective, unlawful, unnecessary, wasteful and unfair to the members of the National Guard and their families.

It's an honor to receive the 2026 Lyme & Tickborne Disease Champion Award from @lyme_action.   As a member of the Lyme Disease Caucus, I remain committed to securing the federal research and prevention funding necessary to find a cure for this debilitating chronic disease. https://t.co/f0Hhjs0PIf

Soon:

Today at 2:00 I'll question DoD officials about how exactly the Trump Admin's massive DoD spending, including the cost of deploying National Guard troops to DC, furthers its stated goal of reducing waste, fraud, and abuse.   Watch: https://t.co/EXIbIejzYy

I was pleased to catch up with former NPS Director Bob Stanton yesterday, who I partnered with when he served under President Clinton as the first African American to hold the position. https://t.co/JM7wVbqwFt

The Constitution grants states, not POTUS, the authority to regulate federal elections. Trump’s EO is an unconstitutional power grab that directs the USPS to obstruct mail-in ballots and disenfranchise eligible voters. 
Proud to cosponsor @RepStephenLynch’s bill to invalidate this illegal EO.

Many private-sector employers offer short-term disability insurance, but the federal government leaves its workers to fend for themselves in a high-cost individual market.   Today I introduced my bill to allow federal employees to purchase this insurance at lower group rates and at zero cost to taxpayers.

As the first woman to chair the EEOC, I've spent my career working to ensure equality for women, but more must be done to address structural disparities in the workforce.   I introduced my bill to require men and women doing comparable work to receive comparable pay. https://t.co/HQEwqn6ls9

I introduced my resolution to designate today, May 1st – or 5/1 – as #DCStatehood Day.   Although every day is appropriate to highlight the need to make DC the 51st state, 5-1 is especially symbolic.   It’s time to turn this calendar coincidence into a legislative reality. https://t.co/owRolzeIxV
