Welcome to DC!

The second I realized our "safe room" from the violent white supremacist mob included treasonous, white supremacist, anti masker Members of Congress who incited the mob in the first place, I exited. Furious that more of my colleagues by the day are testing positive.

Good morning 🌞 Lies are not “differences of opinion.” Have a great day!

The protesters didn't hang a US flag from the Capitol balcony. They hung a Trump flag.

This man needs to be removed from office. He is leading an insurrection against American democracy.
