As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I have a great appreciation for the tireless bipartisan effort that goes into crafting the National Defense Authorization Act.

Recent ATmosphere posts, sponsorships, and cosponsorships.
Today, their third budget hands President Trump and Secretary Hegseth billions of dollars to continue their unconstitutional, unjustified, unpopular war in Iran.
I voted no.
Budgets are statements of values.
Republicans’ first budget this Congress enacted the largest cut to health care in American history and kicked millions of seniors, veterans, and kids off SNAP.
Their second budget gave ICE another $70 billion blank check.
In this week’s Maryland Minute, I recognized Annapolis’s Poet Laureate, Jefferson Holland. His work beautifully captures the essence of the Bay and Annapolis’s role in our nation’s history – ensuring that our local culture and stories are preserved and passed on for generations to come.
We talked about everything from the fight to protect voting rights to how we’re holding the Trump Administration accountable. It’s young people like these who continue to lean in & participate who give me hope for the future of our great democratic experiment, even on challenging days in Washington.
We had some special guests visit the Capitol this week! Alongside @repjohnnyo.bsky.social, I was thrilled to welcome my good friend Senator Zucker’s summer fellows to Washington.
From mental health support, employment programs, family reunification services, and so much more, this funding will ensure that all members of our community have the support they need even on their hardest days.
Another win for #MD03: as part of the over $6 million in federal funding #TeamMaryland secured for Annapolis, more than $1 million went to the Anne Arundel County Community Action Agency to support crucial re-entry and rehabilitation services.
Even as this Administration continues to undermine the expertise of our scientists, I will continue working with my colleagues – Democrat and Republican alike – to ensure Bay restoration is properly authorized and funded. Stay tuned as the bill heads to the floor!
Good news: the Chesapeake Bay WATERS Act to reauthorize key programs at the NOAA Bay Office secured unanimous passage out of the Natural Resources Committee! Located in Annapolis, the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office does critical work to advance the health of the Bay for generations to come.
In today’s edition of Sarah Explains It All, I’ll be breaking down what the Equal Rights Amendment is and why we still need it today!
178 years ago today, women gathered in Seneca Falls for the first-ever women’s rights convention, and 75 years after that, the first version of the Equal Rights Amendment was introduced.
We must capitalize on our incredible partnerships at all levels of government - including the incredible work at the University of Maryland - to ensure we remain both collaborative and competitive.
Whether it’s defense, critical minerals, or even the Chesapeake Bay, we need to be a nation capable of doing big things again. I spoke at the Quantum Tech Showcase to discuss Maryland’s role in advancing this innovative technology.
We owe our servicemembers and their families a debt that can never be fully repaid, but we must begin by preventing future loss of life and bringing this war to an end.
Yesterday, we tragically lost two more brave American servicemembers in Jordan. I am keeping the loved ones of all those lost and injured in this war in my thoughts.
This week, I joined the Committee on House Administration to reflect on that experience as part of their Intern Lecture Series. Special thank you to my intern, Brooke, for the introduction!
A pivotal moment in my career was my Capitol Hill internship under @hoyer.house.gov. I know firsthand the important work interns do to serve #MD03 and communities around the country.
That’s why I’ve co-sponsored @houlahan.house.gov’a WARRIOR ACT to ensure all our servicemembers are evaluated based on job-related, gender-neutral standards.
Secretary Hegseth’s decision to repeatedly block the promotion of women and people of color without rationale has nothing to do with fairness and everything to do with divisive culture wars pushed by this Administration.
