First-ever gene therapy for genetic hearing loss approved today. These are the kinds of breakthroughs that don’t happen by accident. They depend on a system that supports scientific risk-taking.

@CMCharlesAllen @charlesallen Thanks so much for making sure neighborhood clean up moves forward! The intersection of 15th and C St SE could definitely benefit from a plow but maybe even more so from some sidewalk attention from our local business owners.

CM @charlesallen has been walking the ice-filled streets this morning, and for days has been talking with DPW. We're now starting to see more neighborhood streets get plowed. Please avoid driving if possible & keep shoveling sidewalks. Listen to learn more.👇

Hey @charlesallen! When do we start holding business owners accountable for impassable side walks? Cc @DCDPW @311DCgov

My favorite thing abt Nancy Pelosi is that the most effective legislator of the last 50 years was elected to Congress at the age of 47, *after* she raised five children...
So if you're a 45yr old overwhelmed mom who doesn't know what's next... you could still be Nancy Pelosi

It got dropped from the news but in the 2025 continuing budget resolution, Congress stole $1 billion of D.C. taxpayer money.
Lulu NYT@LuluGNavarro
In all seriousness, what I hear from DC residents is that they’d like the 1 billion dollars Congress cut from the city budget back to make schools better (and the local police better funded). Also, if people don’t like their city government, they vote them out. That’s normally how these things work.

On this day when the rest of the US celebrates the end of "Taxation without Representation," we in DC think "It must be nice!" #July4th

As I have made clear, the bill Congressional Republicans are rushing to pass would have devastating impacts on Pennsylvania.
To our members of Congress considering voting for this bill: if you do, you are doing so knowing the consequences it will have across Pennsylvania and in your districts.
Pennsylvanians will lose Medicaid and food assistance through SNAP in your districts if this bill is passed. Look ⬇️

Final vote. 50-50. VP breaks the tie.
One single GOP Senator could have stopped this abomination. Saved millions of parents from watching their child go hungry. Saved the lives destroyed when Medicaid disappears.
They will all live forever with the horror of this bill.

If you're an elected Democrat and you don't speak out about Trump's proposal to jail American citizens in a foreign torture dungeon for life, what are you even doing in public office? Why have the job?

Thoughts on the Congressional House Republicans eating their own:
Hard to feel even remotely sorry for a guy who has shown zero backbone or courage, at a time when our country sorely needs both.

We’re about to commemorate the two-year anniversary of Jan. 6 by rewarding Congress’s biggest promoters of an insurrection with unprecedented influence and the member who debased himself the most for Trump with the speakership.
We learned all the wrong lessons.

sort of insane (and yet not all that surprising) that the entire economy and supply chain almost got bogged down over PAID TIME OFF FOR MEDICAL CARE!!!!
Lauren Kaori Gurley@LaurenKGurley
SCOOP: @JStein_WaPo and I have confirmed that railroads have agreed to give workers the ability to take days off for medical care without being subject to discipline. This was THE key demand that railroad workers wanted to strike over, and they got it.
