Some personal news—I’m back on Capitol Hill helping serve the people of California!
Proud to be in the fight as

So grateful for my time at

@strongnationUSA
and will miss working with such wonderful, passionate members.
Every year yall say “what did Kevin’s dad do to afford that house”
Um what about his mom? Am I to think a woman with this many pantsuits is a homemaker

20 years ago this week, flight attendants literally shed blood to protect their passengers and defend the cockpit door. And this is where we are now.

A crew from Brooklyn dispatched moments after the first plane hit. They got stuck in traffic in the Brooklyn Battery Tunnel. They ditched the rig and walked the rest of the way. They were at the Trade Center moments after the second plane hit. They all died that day. All heroes.
I’ve laughed at all the jokes, but I’m really disappointed and just angry. I never walked into those rooms and buildings without remembering the deep honor it was to work there. One person’s actions have caused much damage and it makes everyone who tries to do good look bad.
Speaker McCarthy: “It's hard to pass anything in this place. We started out in a five-seat majority. I got one member who's now resigned, we've got a couple of members who are out as well. Anything we do is pretty tough”
Nothing says “good morning” like a police officer walking through my stopped

train asking if we’ve seen someone with a sword.
DC is back, y’all.
If
@GOPLeader
is going to use Tiananmen Square in his speech, he should remember that
@SpeakerPelosi
went there and held up this banner, risking her life and safety to stand for freedom.
She did more for freedom in those few minutes than Kevin McCarthy has done in his life.

Watching the woman who could become the highest ranking woman in American history tell a little girl that yes, she can in fact be President one day makes my heart soar.
@RealOmarNavarro
You do realize Maxine hasn’t served on Judiciary for about 5 years. This letterhead is from when the Democrats had the majority. You are just that stupid to forget to check for the right letterhead when you forge something.
One of my least-liked design elements of suburban design is this inaccessible landing I see in foyers.
Any creative solutions for "staging" it out there?
As Veep-like tonight’s events were, it’s also not funny and very serious. I (and many others) live on Capitol Hill. It’s a neighborhood with people who are just trying to live our lives. Whatever happened tonight needs to be addressed so it doesn’t happen again.
@theHillisHome
When I was on the Hill, I ended up alone in the office with a phone call and the man went on for 40 minutes. I ended that by playing a fire alarm video on YouTube and telling him “oh, I gotta go!”
Just a suggestion.
@TooleGabriel
There not magnetic doors. They are fire doors and there are delayed releases when opening them. See the red sign in front of the doors? It tells you to wait and the door released.
Speaker Pelosi may have been unknowingly preparing for that moment her entire life. We needed her that day and she came through. We’re all in her debt.
@Redistrict
Montgomery County voter here, Dave! I was nervous about getting my vote in so I did vote in person but it wasn’t a provisional ballot. If you brought your mail-in ballot with you, they voided it and gave you a regular ballot. If you didn’t have it, you got a provisional ballot.

@NMalliotakis
voted to overturn an election hours after an attempted insurrection.
WATCH how she claims
#NY11
doesn’t care about investigating those who beat police officers and ransacked the Capitol on Jan 6.
Together, lets prove her wrong.
I ride this
@Amtrak
train all the time. My favorite rides are the ones home.
This ride is a particularly special one, because it’s taking me home to meet the newest member of my family. 🍼💙
Stay tuned…
We’re on the way to the Capitol for
@POTUS
’ first State of the Union address. After a historic year of investments to help our nation build back better, I look forward to hearing his vision for the year ahead. I am forever grateful to be a part of the Biden-Harris administration.
Lt. Michael Byrd, the officer who shot Ashli Babbitt on 1/6, in NBC interview: “I tried to wait as long as I could. I hoped and prayed no one tried to enter through those doors. But their failure to comply required me to take the appropriate action..."

And further, she knew the Speaker was coming. The owner had plenty of opportunity to deny service if she didn’t feel comfortable or felt it violated the rules. This isn’t on the Speaker, it’s on the owner.
@LisaDNews
Admiral Kibben was on day *three* of her role as House Chaplain when she was asked to pray in the locked-down House Chamber as the Capitol was breached.
This story will always be a bright spot to me. It shows the tenacity of the reporters who, even in the midst of immense danger, continued doing their job being our eyes and ears—and the dedication of the men and women who make Congress run.
A very, very special shoutout to
@PreparednessJoe
for returning my earring a year later. He found it in the gallery, where reporters/members/staff had been stuck after the building was breached.
I thought it was gone for good!! Bright spot in a tough week (year?)
@keithedwards
I worked on the Hill…if you are a staffer and show up to work like this, you get sent home. It’s the U.S. Congress. My advice is wear something you’d feel comfortable wearing at a funeral.
I just watched
@tammybaldwin
, the first openly gay U.S. Senator vote to confirm
@PeteButtigieg
, who will soon be the first openly gay cabinet Secretary. Representation matters!

Asked Pelosi if she will her Speaker Emeritus Capitol office back now McCarthy leaving. She laughed. Says she cares more about getting food into mouths of hungry children
When I go and vote today, I’ll think of him. I know he’s watching from Heaven. And when all is said and done, I hope he’ll be dancing.

I think many may find whole Whoopi Goldberg situation confusing and have strong thoughts on what happened. I don’t think ABC’s response was right, nor does it provide the real thing needed here: education.

Take a moment to read it.
Thank you for teaching us love, Josh.
In the End, Love is What Matters.

Prop guns have blanks, and if they fire in a certain way, they can do great harm. There have been a few cases where this happened. It’s horrible in each case. I feel horrible for everyone involved.
@AdamKinzinger
Here’s the sign indicating what the Congressman is referring too. There’s nothing unusual here—all the doors in the Capitol are like this.
