I love this building. Love what it represents. Love my ancestors for building it (against their will)
I'm honored to be tasked with protecting it. Great day all 🖤

On January 6th, I defended our democracy from insurrectionists as a Capitol Police Officer. After, President Biden honored me with the Presidential Citizens Medal.
Today, I’m running for Congress to stop Trump's MAGA extremists & ensure it never happens again.
Join me:
Tomorrow I'll be testifying before congress, and while I don't think I'm nervous, I am definitely anxious. It will be televised so please tune in and support if you are able to.
Additionally I am soliciting your good vibes!!! Thanks in advance

🧵1. Kinda disheartening to see how some prominent people, prop Kyle Rittenhouse up as a hero, yet the brave men and women who fought and defended the Capitol on 1/6 have to continue to fight just for the TRUTH to be told about that day.......
1/ From the first day I publicly spoke out about my experience on January 6th, I've only desired two things. Justice for this Nation and also for the brave men and women who fought to defend democracy. Also accountability for EVERYONE who had a role in the failures of that day.
Those telling me and many others to "move on from

" why don't y'all keep that same energy and tell Donald to get over the fact that he lost to President Biden by 7 million votes.
I just got off the phone with Senator Elfreth, congratulating her on her hard-fought victory. I look forward to ensuring that we send Senator Elfreth to Congress this November.
Although tonight’s results may not have gone like we hoped, all I can feel right now is gratitude.
Many people have slowly forgotten about Jan 6... news cycles contribute heavily to what people retain. However today I sat in a court for the sentencing of a man who plead guilty to assaulting officers with a flag pole. I listened to his lawyer make the following statement: “as
I won't even PRETEND to know much about foreign policy, but Jesus Christ, there are really AMERICANS out here trying to justify Putin's actions??? WTF is wrong with y'all? War isn't good for ANYONE!!!
I'm always conflicted when I see these "courageous" men and women coming forward with their testimony. Like sure, I appreciate it tremendously, I really do, but there wasn't anything you could've done BEFORE we got our asses beat?
Hi everyone. Mike needs your help... If you can find it in your heart to help him and his family, he would appreciate it. Mike has never been one to mince words, and he put it bluntly. "I need some help" 🫶🏽 Help if you can
As a new Congress is sworn in tomorrow... I'd like to thank
@Liz_Cheney
and
@RepKinzinger
for their dedication to the constitution over power and corruption. God bless you in your future endeavors.
I initially had a challenging time referring to Cassidy Hutchinson as some type of hero after her testimony before the January 6th Committee. After seeing how deep this scheme went and the powerful people involved, I'm thankful for her strength and resolve to do what's right.
I have been blessed a lot in life, but my greatest blessing is being this girl's father. Please wish my daughter a Happy Birthday!!! As she turns 11, on her second day of school!!! 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🎁 🎊 🎂

I'm going to be a little limited with my words regarding the verdict for the time being, but I'm truly thankful for all your kind words and endless support. 🫶🏽🖤🇺🇸
I trained Officer Carolyn Edwards. She is such a great officer and an even more amazing human being. She's like a little sister to me and what she and other officers went thru that day, didn't deserve. She is a SHERO and definition of AMERICAN PATRIOT.
From grabbin 🐈, to attacking war heros, to mocking individuals with disabilities, to insulting senator's wives, to holding rallies while president, to begging for votes that don't exist, to launching an armed mob to hang his vice president. And y'all talking about unprecedented
The APOLOGY needs to always be as loud as the disrespect was.
There is no playing both sides in this. If you're not with the presumptive democratic nominee Joe Biden, then get out the way. You're only in our way!!
Lets Go Joe!!!
Pretty sure this goes against some "flag code"
"Thou shalth not beat police with American flag"
From the Book of 1st Insurrectionist chapter 2 verse 7.
1/ I thought I'd be happy about the news about the target letter. I can't say that I am. Honestly, I feel even more rage and anger. It's like the news just ripped off a band-aid that was only COVERING an unhealed wound. I'm exhausted and this burden has been so heavy to carry....
I'm so excited to announce this to you all!!! 🖤

on coping with the aftermath of the Jan. 6 riot. "It's been helpful for me. That doesn't mean I'm immune to sadness and trauma, anxiety, depression... But you learn how to work through it."
The responses I've seen to
@POTUS
forgiveness of student loans hasn't been surprising but has been saddening. So many "what about me" takes. People truly don't want to see others thrive. We're so consumed with give me give me that we forget we need to give. 🖤

Birthdays are special, today I receive love and joy from everyone who cares about me. I would like to thank everyone who makes not just today, but every day of my life wonderful. You all are appreciated!!
Happy Birthday Me 🎂 🥳 🎉 🎈 🖤
Hey
@AndrewYang
why not strive to be better than the people you lost to. I mean, I agree a two party system is blah... but what you're talking about doing... this aint it man. People should strive for the betterment of the country. You sound eerily selfishly motivated.
Hate speech disguised as "free speech" 🙄 shouldn't be anonymous.
@elonmusk
allowing this hate speech to run rampant should require real names, faces and identities. Instead these cowards running wild on here, virtually untraceable, doing "drive by n-bombs"
Own your hate bigots
On January 6th, I didn't just fight *against* insurrectionists. I fought *for* all of us.
Because our democracy isn't just about the people who work at the U.S. Capitol - it's about all of those who don't.
Watch my new ad:
2/ Tomorrow, we will receive the Congressional Gold Medal. Although it wasn't something that I sought out, I am deeply humbled and honored to receive this historic recognition. May this nation never forget that horrific day and do our part to prevent it from happening again. 🖤
The news of Senator Cruz's daughter is truly sad. I pray for this young girl that she may soon feel comfort, love, and support from those around her. You matter and you are enough. 🖤

Ma'am, in January you said Donald Trump is mentally unfit and unqualified for office... Why are you supporting him now? We're you lying then or are you lying now?
It's ass backwards that felons can't vote, but they can hold elected federal office.
When I'm elected, I'll work tirelessly to ensure the voting rights are restored to individuals once they have paid their debt to society. (How's that sound? Practicing if I decide to run) 😉
I hate (makes me sad) seeing the human side of these individuals. Because while they were attacking us they didn't see us as humans but rather obstacles. I feel bad for the families including their own that are ruined by their actions. Empathy sucks at times. But they need to pay
For the last 15 years I served as a Capitol Police officer. Now I’m running for Congress to represent Maryland’s 3rd District and stepping into a new role. I’m fighting to stop fascism, protect the right to choose and access to reproductive healthcare, lower costs for everyday
Remember, if Mitch McConnell and the rest of the inept Senate Republicans had the courage to vote the way they knew was right, we wouldn't be in this position now.
You met (reluctantly) with me and Mike Fanone two regular officers to discuss Jan 6th and told us VERBATIM "I can't control what my caucus does or says"
WHY TF WOULD SHE MEET WITH YOU?
John McCain, telling his supporters that President Obama was a good man when they were calling him a terrorist, is probably the last (I pray not) time we'll see a Presidental candidate choose decency over derangement. Nowadays you're celebrated for being a jerk.

Good morning, today is a great day to do treat yourself to something nice. You made it thru the week and you deserve happiness, all of you do, except the former president. I hope he has a miserable day.

1/ I've been struggling the last few days. This weekend I had a PTSD flare up, it was scary and made me feel like shit. I don't share this to look for sympathy (my therapist takes care of that for me;)) but I share this with the hope that someone who might read this who has been
Just a little while ago I completed my last REGULARLY SCHEDULED therapy session that I started attending as a result of 1/6. I have made huge strides and I feel noticeably and significantly better than I have in over a year. I acknowledge my weakness and I strive to conquer them.
After I defended the Capitol from insurrectionists on January 6th, I had to speak out to hold Trump accountable.
I'm a public servant - not a politician. But our democracy is only one election away from extinction.
So, I'm running for Congress. Join me:

You guys were so brave to hit send on these texts. Thank you for doing all you could do to stop the attack at the Capitol. Thanks for acknowledging he owns this!! You did your part! Let me file this picture away in the thoughts and prayers folder.

I'm sick of him! It's been 3.5 years and the Supreme Court has ensured no legal accountability for him. The American people will hold him accountable in November. Let's go Biden!!!
How y'all doing? Sometimes just typing out your feelings is a start for healing. People care, I do. I care. I'll go first...
I got anxiety about tomorrow's
