INTRODUCING: The Restoring the Death Penalty in DC Act.
This legislation brings capital punishment back to our nation's capital for the most heinous crimes: first-degree murder, terrorism, the murder of law enforcement officers and public safety employees, child sexual abuse, and dealing deadly drugs to kids.
D.C. abolished the death penalty in 1980. For more than 46 years, capital punishment has been off the table in our nation's capital, and criminals have not paid the real price of justice.
Enough is enough. Our nation's capital should never be a place where the worst crimes imaginable come with anything less than the harshest consequence the law allows.
Restoring law and order starts with real punishments.

@CongressMin: “I strongly believe in D.C. statehood and home rule, and I oppose President Trump’s unlawful overreach in D.C…. At the same time, I take violent crime seriously.” https://t.co/fVu5n3xmgZ
Momentum is building! @RepMarcHarrisNC is now on the BOWSER Act.
Congress must stand with President Trump and make his effort to save our Capital permanent.
I wonder why the grand jury in DC failed to indict the subway sandwich thrower… I mean this has to be the biggest crime ever committed in DC!
LMAO, DC residents clearly aren’t ok with being the pawns that everyone else around Trump have decided to be!
DC STATEHOOD NOW!
8/22/25: AZ-05 @RepAndyBiggsAZ (F-) introduced anti #DCHomeRule measure H.R. 5015, which would amend the DC Home Rule Act by (retroactively) extending the emergency period during which @POTUS may exercise control over the MPD from 30 to 180 days

Congress must pass my resolution to extend President Trump’s 30 days of leading D.C. for his entire term.
They should also pass @BasedMikeLee and my BOWSER Act, we’d have a beautiful and safe Capital forever.
8/15/25: MD-08 @RepRaskin (A+) introduced pro #DCHomeRule measure H.J.Res. 115, which would immediately terminate @POTUS's 8/11/25 emergency E.O. “Declaring a crime emergency in the District of Columbia”

8/15/25: FL-13 @RepLuna (F-) introduced anti #DCHomeRule measure H.J.Res. 114, which would indefinitely extend @POTUS's 8/11/25 emergency E.O. “Declaring a crime emergency in the District of Columbia” until the President declares an end to such emergency

8/1/25: AZ-08 @RepAbeHamadeh (C-) introduced partial anti #DCHomeRule measure H.R. 4851, the "PROVE Act," which would treat a nonmilitary overseas voter as a DC resident when voting for federal office if they fail to prove their residency in another state

.@POTUS on statehood for D.C.: "Statehood is ridiculous. It's unacceptable. The Democrats want it because the Democrats have like 95% in this little area... They want to pick up two senators — and it's not going to happen."
