The pendulum will continue to swing until Ds and Rs re-learn how to work together to govern and actually accomplish things that benefit people's lives. Americans don't want to have to think or worry about Washington. They want to elect people to come and do their jobs.

In that challenging period where my apartment is cold...but I refuse to turn the heat on. Time to layer up.

I just don't think most normal people are overly interested in political party drama. They're focused on their own lives. There's a reason both parties are deeply under water with voters. It's personal platform, party power and way down the list- improving the lives of the public

In the past several days, I have seen reports of so many Christians being slaughtered by Islamic extremists. There absolutely should be a greater outcry about this brutal loss of precious lives.
At least 62 people have been killed after gunmen attacked a community in northeastern Nigeria, the country’s emergency agency said. apnews.com/article/nigeria-g…

Remembering all of those impacted by the horrific massacre of October 7th and all that has happened as a result. Standing today and every day with the Jewish community against the scourge of antisemitism.

Yay! My favorite season is upon us.
🚨 We’re calling it: Summer is over in DC.
After 50 days of 90+ heat and one of our 10 hottest summers on record, the pattern has finally flipped.
70s today. 60s Tuesday and Wednesday. And no sustained heat in sight.
Welcome, fall. 🍂

Unbelievably honored to spend my morning remembering those whose lives were lost with those who bravely serve every single day.
We gathered this morning to recognize the 25th anniversary of the September 11 attacks on our nation.
No one knew in those moments who the targets were, but we knew it was our freedom and our democracy under attack.
Twenty five years later, we still remember the lives of all those Washingtonians we lost, including six members of our DCPS community—3 students and 3 educators.
We still and will always remember, reflect, and pray for the nearly 3,000 lives lost.

Today marks 25 years since the deadliest terrorist attack in our nation’s history.
9/11 is a day that here in Washington, across our nation, and around our world will never be forgotten.
We honor those whose lives were taken, and hold the survivors and families whose lives were forever changed in our hearts.
My full proclamation:

Worth reading every word. It's easy to allow time to fade the horror of that day. These were 2,977 real, precious people. We can never forget them, their lives, or the terror motivated by Islamic extremism that led to their murders. #neverforget
Sharing a gift link to the New York Times' devastating minute by minute report of the World Trade Center's last 102 minutes, based on the hundreds of last calls and emails people made.
Never forget.

Feeling especially struck by the memories of 9/11 this year. I will never forget that day. We can never forget the vigilance necessary to fight against terrorism. And we must NEVER forget the thousands of people whose lives were brutally taken that day- each precious and beloved.
Welles Crowther is a hero. A @BCEagles graduate. A son, a brother & friend. At 24, he saved over a dozen lives on 9/11. And he’s known as the “Man in the Red Bandana”.
This story is a must watch every year. May Welles’ memory continue to be a blessing.

Behind every big event in our nation's capital are the DC Government teams that help make it happen.
From managing traffic and public safety to coordinating with the federal government to deliver a great event, we're proud to thank our DC Gov employees for all they do.

After a tough travel day yesterday with a cancelled flight and no available flights today, thank-you, @Amtrak, for a smooth, easy trip from Boston to DC! Very grateful to have made it back!
