From Iraq to Venezuela, we should've learned you can't bomb, bully, or bluster your way to democracy. The pattern is clear, and history doesn't need a sequel. #ACASubsidies #EpsteinFiles

When D.C. residents watch decisions like this happen to us instead of with us, it reminds us how little control we’re given over our own city. Andrew Howard spoke from the heart. D.C. deserves dignity. D.C. deserves full home rule. #ItsAboutUs #DCPolitics
“We should all be shocked, shocked, that a felon, a convicted felon and a thug and by all means a grifter has just stuck his name on top of a national monument,” a Washingtonian said as a crew added President Trump’s name to the Kennedy Center’s exterior. nbc4dc.com/sBiBB5P

Public service isn't a podcast. Good riddance. #ItsAboutUs #DCPolitics
I will be leaving my position with the FBI in January. I want to thank President Trump, AG Bondi, and Director Patel for the opportunity to serve with purpose. Most importantly, I want to thank you, my fellow Americans, for the privilege to serve you. God bless America, and all those who defend Her. 🇺🇸

Speaking at @RefuseFascismDC rally was a reminder: when dignity is denied; in healthcare, housing, or D.C.’s full rights— it’s more than a policy failure. It’s a failure to live our values. I’m running because we can do better. & together, we will. #ItsAboutUs #FreeDC #DCDelegate

For 30yrs., @CovenantHouseGW has shown up for our homeless youth. This 11/20, I'm joining the Sleep Out to help end youth homelessness, because dignity & safety should never depend on circumstance. Donate: bit.ly/itsaboutus2 #SleepOut2025 #EndYouthHomelessness #ItsAboutUs

Disappointed to see @SenateDems cave on the shutdown deal again. Families can’t afford more theater while ACA subsidies hang in the balance. Healthcare isn’t a bargaining chip, it’s dignity. I’m Kelly Mikel, candidate for Congress in DC, & I’ll never trade away yours. #DCPolitics

Grateful to @GUCollegeDems for an inspiring discussion. This generation knows what’s at stake: dignity in healthcare, stability in housing, and democracy for D.C. We’re building a future of conviction, not convenience. #ItsAboutUs
