Despite voting on the House floor until 1:30 AM last night, I was back at the Capitol this morning to welcome over 100 kiddos from Elkridge Elementary to Washington!

My Republican colleagues refuse to exercise their Constitutional duties to check and balance this President. Now that we’re back in Washington, I will continue pursuing every means possible to hold the President accountable and get answers not just for Congress, but for the American people.
We are nearly 50 days into the President’s war with Iran, and still this Administration has made zero effort to even brief Congress on the war, much less consult us as a coequal branch of government.
I’m so grateful I could sit down with the Deputy Chief of Engineering and Asset Management at Howard County Department of Public Works and our other local water experts to brainstorm on how we can meet the needs of our communities.
Well-funded and managed drinking, waste, and storm water systems are crucial to ensuring all our neighbors have access to clean, affordable water for years to come.
Improving water infrastructure, lowering the cost of water bills, regulating PFAS, & increasing cybersecurity for our public utilities: these are just some of the topics we discussed in my meeting with the Chesapeake Sections of the American Water Works Association & Water Environment Association!

That’s why today, I voted YES again to pass a War Powers Resolution to bring the President’s war to an end.
It is clear the President and Secretary Hegseth have no strategy – let alone an exit strategy – for their war in Iran. Congress cannot sit on the sidelines as servicemembers are put at risk, gas prices rise, and our nation spends tens of billions on this war.
That's why I voted in favor of @meeks.house.gov’s War Powers Resolution to once again stop the President from taking any further reckless and unconstitutional military action in Iran.
Like many in my generation, I hold grave concerns about our country being dragged into another endless war in the Middle East and even greater concerns about war crimes being threatened by this President.
Our Framers made clear in Article I that Congress holds the sole Constitutional power to declare war. Yet we are nearly 50 days into this war in Iran, & the President has failed to deliver to Congress – or the American people – a clear exit plan, all while continuing to escalate tensions via Tweet.
Let me be clear: I do not take this action lightly – but when it becomes abundantly apparent that our Commander in Chief's reckless and irrational behavior is overstepping Constitutional authority and putting lives at risk, we must act.
I’ve joined @raskin.house.gov’s legislation to establish a bipartisan standing body, and act with the Vice President, to remove the President under the guidelines of the 25th Amendment.
From the President’s unhinged rants on social media and reckless war mongering via Tweet, it is clear that the President is no longer in possession of himself.
These conversations ensure collaboration to best support our servicemembers and military families in #MD03 and beyond.
Ahead of our annual Readiness Subcommittee Vice Service Posture hearing, I sat down with General Gerring, Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps, to discuss all things military readiness – from on-base housing quality to improving base resilience to working with local partners on modernization.
It’s time for more sunshine – not less.
As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I have the privilege of sitting in regular classified briefings – where this Administration’s answers were utterly insufficient – but almost no answers have been provided to the American public, our servicemembers, or their families.
