  DC's local courts have faced a perpetual judicial vacancy crisis because nominees are stuck waiting for Senate confirmation while the Senate prioritizes confirming federal judges. Today, Senator Van Hollen and I introduced a bill to streamline the process and improve access to…

  Federal officials deployed thousands of National Guard personnel into DC without the consent of the District's elected government. Recent reports and videos raise serious questions about the Guard's conduct in DC, and I intend to get answers.

  Thank you to UDC for recognizing my longstanding support of the university today. It has been a privilege to champion the only public university in our nation's capital as it educates and empowers the next generation of leaders, public servants, and changemakers.

  Sexual harassment remains a pervasive problem in workplaces across the country. As the first woman to chair the EEOC, I introduced my bill to create a national commission to combat workplace sexual harassment. Workers shouldn't bear the burden of exposing these failures alone.

  I'll question GAO Director Collins this morning about progress implementing recommendations from a helicopter noise study I got included in the 2024 FAA reauthorization. Helicopter noise can be damaging to health, quality of life, and even the structural integrity of homes.

  Lacking equal treatment ourselves, DC is a natural ally in the fight for LGBTQ+ equality, inclusion, and protections. And we show it! Happy Pride Month, DC.

  Rock Creek Park is one of our nation's great public treasures. I introduced my bill to rename it as "Rock Creek National Park" to appropriately recognize its national significance.

  Closing two federal childcare centers with less than 3 months' notice is a direct, cruel attack on the National Capital Region workforce. I joined my National Capital Region colleagues to insist that USDA Sec. Rollins find a new provider before the scheduled closure in July.

  I'm pleased to have secured many victories for DC and the nation, including 4 of my bills, in the Committee-passed surface transportation reauthorization bill — especially defeating Rep. Perry's amendment to eliminate critical grant funding for WMATA.
