The #July4th Holiday belongs to all Americans! Don’t let the Trump sh*t-show downtown distract you from a real community based celebration. Enjoy the 60th Annual #PalisadesParade and celebrate with your fellow disenfranchised #DC citizens.

This is the kind of bullshit we have to put up with because we are not a state.

#Trump’s abuse of #DC is discussed in one of the premiere newspapers, from #Spain, #ElPais. I believe that international attention and pressure are an important part of the #DCStatehood Movement, and I appreciate the attention of journalists from around the world. english.elpais.com/usa/2026-06-...

Thank You @warnock.senate.gov for your strong and principled support for #DCStatehood.

Senator Paul Strauss’ reelection fundraiser shin dig at the Hawk and Dove tonight! Saturday, May, 16 7:30 pm! @paulstrauss.bsky.social

Happy #StarWarsDay! #Maythe4th Be with you!

My interview with Irish journalists on @newstalkfm.bsky.social on #DCStatehood and the #WHCD incident. link.goloudplayer.com/s/pGsR4wqkwNuP

CNN on how my daughter texted me tips to survive a shooter while at #WHCD. So many children have experienced gun violence, that we now train kids for it. It’s awful. edition.cnn.com/2026/04/27/p...

The rain may have dampened the participants, but not the spirit of the crowds who came out today to celebrate the Chinese Lunar New Year’s parade and celebration in DC’s Chinatown. #YearOfTheHorse

Sending love and hugs to the family of Reverend Jessie Jackson Sr. My predecessor in office, and famed Civil Rights leader passed away today at age 84. Rest in Power!

It’s happening again, and with disastrous consequences for DC Taxpayers. Call these Senators and tell them to vote No on #SJRes102 and let DC govern itself.

Tonight it’s a discussion and book signing with @joshshapiropa.bsky.social and @warnock.senate.gov here at #SixthandI but I can’t help but see a possible dream ticket for @democrats.org in 2028.

I have had the inspiring honor to serve with the legendary @EleanorNorton.bsky.social during her amazing career in the US House of Representatives. Her impressive legacy of service to the people of #WashingtonDC and her many accomplishments in support of #DCStatehood will inspire all #Americans.

The clear and continuous #abuseofpower by #ICE is making no one safe, but instead creating danger in #American communities like #DC and #Minneapolis. Having learned nothing from the killing of #ReneeGood, we are traumatized by more horrific video of another killing today. Get ICE out of Minnesota!

Getting ready for the #DC #MLKDay #Parade

My thoughts are with the National Guard members wounded in this horrific shooting. I’m grateful for the quick response of law enforcement officers and the first responders who swiftly apprehended the suspect, who is now in custody. Gun violence has no place in our community.

Just as the phony #Trump so called “emergency” ends - here comes a #Republican controlled #House Committee voted to advance 14 separate bills, most of which will erode #DC Autonomy and #Self-Determination.

@paulstrauss.bsky.social : Violent crime in DC is down but other crime like the bribery of government officials with a luxury plane is way up.

Thanks!

Washington D.C. shadow Sen. Paul Strauss explains why he believes President Trump's move to federalize the city's police force may do more harm than good.

@theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social thank you Paul Strauss for saying bribery is up! 🤣

DC's only dangerous bc you and your cronies"re in it, Pendejo Anaranjado. “Nobody in D.C. is going to feel safer with Donald Trump in charge of the local police,” said District Shadow Senator Paul Strauss, adding that he believes what’s wrong with local law enforcement is the federal components."

Saturday at 7am ET — Shadow Sen. Paul Strauss

Catch me this morning on @theweekendmsnbc.bsky.social talking about the latest developments in Trumps attacks on the District of Columbia.

I shared my thoughts about comments made by Donald #Trump about a possible #FederalTakeover of #DC. Although right now it’s not even a concept of a plan, given his history, we need to take these threats to our local #democracy seriously.

Great 4th of July at the Palisades Parade

If you hit a #Beach this weekend, it's because they #HittheBeach before. On #MemorialDay, let’s #Honor & #Remember the women & men who made the ultimate sacrifice to keep us free, especially the #DC troops who did so without a vote in Congress. #MemorialDay2025 #RememberAndHonor

Words cannot express the depth of the anger and sadness in Washington DC today as we mourn Sarah Milgrim and Yaron Lischinsky. They were murdered yesterday in an Anti-Semitic attack, outside the Small Capital Jewish Museum. May their memories be a blessing.

I’m deeply saddened by the passing of John Ray, former DC Council member at Large and my old Boss. John Ray was a gifted lawyer and legislator who was instrumental in helping me choose both the law and public service as a career. May his memory be a blessing to our community.

Great to be out with everyone on this #DCEmancipationDay

Stetson Survey Finds #DC Gets Statehood Support, but #Canada and #Greenland Do Not. #PuertoRico #Statehood support is also significant. flaglerlive.com/stetson-surv...

Maryland’s Senior US Senator Chris Vanhollen.senate.gov issues statement indicating he’s looking into options to force a vote tomorrow about the local DC portion of the #HouseCR when it comes up for #Senate consideration tomorrow.

A casual remark by Maryland Congressman Jamin Raskin has some people suggesting what was once unthinkable. wtop.com/dc/2025/03/i...

I spoke to WTOP about the latest #Trump Executive Order impacting Washington DC. wtop.com/dc/2025/02/d...

Great seeing @iainarmitage.bsky.social

Thank You US Senator @vanhollen.senate.gov for your introduction of the #DCStatehood Bill in the #USSenate for the #119thCongress. DC Residents appreciate your strong support for our equality! Of course thank you to Congresswoman EleanorNorton for re-introducing the companion bill in the #USHouse.

Happy Holidays!

Thank You to everyone who worked hard behind the scenes to make the #RFKStadium Campus Revitalization project possible. Since the bill already passed the #USHouse, passing it as a clean bill in the #USSenate now sends it directly to @POTUS desk for his signature. #CloseButNoCR
