Today marks 250 years since the Declaration of Independence. Our founders defined this nation not by blood or ancestry — but by an idea: that all of us are created equal, and government exists to secure our rights.
That's the American inheritance: not soil, but a promise. Not bloodline, but a pledge — "liberty and justice for all." Not a description of who we are. A commitment to who we promise to be.
As the son of immigrant parents, that promise is personal to me. That's why this week's SCOTUS ruling upholding birthright citizenship matters: citizenship here is a promise extended to all who are born here, not an inheritance reserved for some.
The work of forming a more perfect union isn't finished. But today, I feel real hope. Happy 250th Independence Day. 🇺🇸

This is compelling. If Home Rule is at stake, which seems to be, Team McDuffie, being built now, is ready to win on Day 1. 2 Past DNC Chairs, our leader on redistricting, and the Ranking Member of Senate Subcommittee on federal buildings in DC. Experience matters. @PostOpinions
I’m proud to have the endorsement of Democratic leaders from across the nation who trust my leadership, vision, and experience.
I’m #1 on your ballot, and I’m asking everyone to rank me #1 on June 16th.
Maya Angelou said it best: when people show you who they are, believe them. Janeese Lewis George’s votes have shown us exactly who she is. I’ve spent almost 14 years delivering for DC, and as Mayor, that’s exactly what I’ll do. Rank me #1 on your ballot and vote by June 16.
In talking to fellow Ward 3 DCPS parents, only now weighing the big choice. Race is fluid. To deliver is to prepare. No one prepared longer to lead DC now. Lifelong Washingtonian, protecting civil rights at DOJ, 13 years on the Council. Message + Resources = #McMentum. Watch him!
In this affordability crisis, we need to prioritize childcare more than ever.

Grateful I was raised to have courage and integrity, to stand strong and to lift people up and not to be a politician.
It’s time for #Virginia to lead America into a different and more hopeful #Next400Years...

Thank you for your extraordinary vision, empathy & leadership, @KingJames & President @BarackObama!
Congratulations to the amazing and resilient Class of 2020. Time to #GraduateTogether!
I've known @FairfaxJustin since we were freshmen at Duke. Find myself thinking of this speech, delivered in 2012 at DeMatha, today. The friend I and many others know - a deep love for his family, strong faith, and the values he chooses to be known for. https://t.co/Ep02Rr5nXO
Thanks for joining us, Senator @DickSaslaw! Proud to support your re-election in 2019 & look forward to your service as Majority Leader. #WeRiseTogether
The astronomical odds that were overcome in one picture...worth way more than 1,000 words. Congratulations on your Re-Inauguration, Bro. @kenyanmcduffie! @zionkelly18, welcome to the family. The love is real & we have your back. #WeRiseTogether#EndGunViolence
“Hope lives here in Virginia,” @FairfaxJustin recalling the last year fighting hate, starting the Blue Wave, and securing Medicaid Expansion for 400,000 Virginians.
Georgia: This Tuesday, we have a choice – whether we return to an old Georgia, with an old playbook and an old way of doing things. Or whether we move our state forward with @StaceyAbrams, making sure EVERY Georgia family has the freedom and opportunity to thrive. - TA #gapol 1/
