Last week, as members of the House Armed Services Committee, Congressman Bergman, @usrepjimmypanetta.bsky.social, and I traveled to Finland and Sweden in the midst of one of the most tumultuous moments for our NATO alliance in recent memory.

That’s why I teamed up with @merkley.senate.gov to introduce the Prohibit Partisan Park Passes Act, straightforward legislation to prohibit America the Beautiful Passes from having the image or likeness of any living political figures.
National Parks are shared national treasures – not political props for self-promotion. There’s no need for President Trump’s face to be on our park passes.
I voted NO on the Big Ugly Law last July, I voted NO on the latest DHS and ICE funding bill last week, and I will continue to push for real oversight and increased accountability over this lawless agency.
Not only did President Trump already increase funding for ICE by $75 billion in his “Big Ugly Law,” he did so at the expense of the American people – cutting $1 trillion from health care funding in that same bill.
Grateful to have such dedicated and thoughtful partners in the State House!
Today, I sat down with Chair Guy Guzzone, Senator Katie Fry Hester, Chair Ben Barnes, and Delegate Bonnie Cullison to brainstorm solutions to lower the high cost of child care, streamline Maryland’s health care systems, and plan for major infrastructure projects throughout #MD03.
The House of Representatives is back in our districts this week for our monthly District Work Period. We’re using this first district week to start our “Cardin Tour” tradition: meeting with local, state, installation, & higher education partners to plan out district & budget priorities for 2026.
Political violence and intimidation in any form is unacceptable. The attacks we saw this week against @ilhanmn.bsky.social and @frost.house.gov are deeply disturbing, and I'm grateful my colleagues are safe. Regardless of party, we must stand together to reject this violence and hate.
In Congress, I’m committed to doing my part in turning down the temperature and affirming our bipartisan commitment to NATO.
On last week’s bipartisan House Armed Services Trip to our newest NATO allies – Sweden and Finland – I saw firsthand how crucial our partnership is in advancing our shared goal of defending the Arctic, supporting Ukraine, and standing firm against Putin.
But let’s be clear, people were killed under his watch. There is still much more work that needs to be done to restore real checks and balances, hold ICE accountable, and ensure the safety of our neighbors.
With the removal of Greg Bovino from Minneapolis, it’s clear that even the Trump Administration realizes these cruel immigration enforcement tactics are deeply unpopular. Bovino’s removal is a step in the right direction – and evidence that our collective pressure on the Administration is working.
We’re now one step closer to tackling the invasive blue catfish that threaten our Bay and finding alternative ways to stop invasive species in waterways across the country. Stay tuned for updates!
Good news: the MAWS Act has unanimously passed out of the House Natural Resources Committee, which means the next step is the House floor! I’m grateful to Congressman Wittman and my colleagues on the committee whose dedication to preserving our waterways has helped craft and perfect the MAWS Act.
I’m proud to stand with you in the fight to ensure occupational cancer is recognized as a line-of-duty death, restore positions on the critical Fire Fighter Fatality Investigation and Prevention Program, and so much more.
I’m so grateful to the IAFF family for not just serving as the backbone of our communities but for always being the unflinching voice of reason for our first responders on Capitol Hill.
Before the snow started falling, I joined a few hundred neighbors for home-cooked chicken parm, stuffed shells, & pasta e fagioli for a great cause. Cheers to Chef Joe & the Anne Arundel County Professional Firefighters for a successful fundraiser supporting fallen firefighters & their families.
Today on International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we not only remember the 6 million Jewish lives lost to the Holocaust & millions more who were persecuted, but we recommit ourselves to fight for an end to anti-semitism & greater acceptance, inclusion, & equal treatment under the law for all.
81 years ago today, we witnessed one of the greatest horrors in history come to an end with the liberation of Auschwitz.
