So excited to welcome @Rep_Stansbury as the latest cosponsor of the Judiciary Act, which would add four new seats to the Supreme Court.
Another amazing champion in our fight to #ExpandTheCourt! 👏👏👏
FROM HOMELESS TO HS GRAD: Michael Jeffery lived in a tent under a DC bridge for 2 years. He just got his HS diploma (and was valedictorian) at the Goodwill Excel Center, found permanent housing, and is now attending Catholic Univ. His inspiring journey tonight on @nbcwashington
Granddaughter of a farmer worker to Deputy Sec of @USDA — @xochnm is an inspiration!
What an honor to witness Xochitl being sworn in as Deputy Secretary of the Dept of Agriculture.
Proud to host House Democratic Leader @hakeemjeffries at our #youngscrappyandhungry firm. Hosting the man who could be our country's first African American Speaker of the House has great meaning for our 100% Black-Latino owned firm. Breaking boundaries. Making history.

Today Kenneth Bond was released after spending over 27 years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit. A crowd of family, friends, and #MakingAnExoneree staff and students from @Georgetown were there to celebrate his freedom. Welcome home, Kenneth!
#FUNFACT:🇵🇷 The first part of Bad Bunny’s performance at the #GRAMMYs was based on a famous Puerto Rican festival called Fiestas de la Calles San Sebastián.
This festival, commonly called “Las Fiestas” or “Las Calles”, take place every year at the end of January in Old San Juan.
When I was 13, I got into a lot of trouble. Made a lot of bad choices. And lived to learn from them. A lot of us did. Karon was shot dead. His family lost a child, and his friends are hurt permanently. This can’t be who we are as a city.
“I’ve cleaned houses, care(d) for elders, care(d) for children and it really is a dignified job that has allowed me to support my small family,” says Vaca. “This law for domestic workers is something that makes us very proud."
