I’ve joined over 50 of my colleagues across the House and Senate to demand an investigation into the Trump Administration’s reckless changes to our long-standing policies and uphold our promise to protect those who serve our country.
Yet the Trump Administration is now arresting, detaining, and deporting non-citizen servicemembers, even as DHS policy clearly states that servicemembers, veterans, and military families have protection from immigration enforcement.
Our immigrant servicemembers are crucial to military readiness, providing foreign language skills and medical expertise to our military for over a century.
Whether it's ordering blue catfish on a menu or processing it in pet food, we can all do our part to save the Bay.
I sat down with WMAR to discuss how the first-of-its-kind bipartisan MAWS Act would tackle the issue of invasive blue catfish. Now that I’m back in Washington, I’m working with my colleagues to get the MAWS Act to the House floor for a vote, but we can all be part of the solution.
You’ve probably seen it at the grocery store: President Trump’s reckless economic policies are driving up the cost of our essentials. As a member of the Lowering Costs Caucus, I’m committed to fighting for common-sense legislation that makes life more affordable for Maryland families.
Under this new program, private companies can use artificial intelligence, rather than medical expertise, to conduct private screenings and determine whether patients should receive coverage for dozens of procedures. Delaying and denying care is never the answer.
Even though President Trump already forced through the largest cut to health care in our nation’s history with the Big Ugly Law, the Administration is once again attacking lifesaving care – this time by adding prior authorization requirements to Medicare.
But 176 animal species are currently listed in Maryland as threatened or endangered – including the American Goshawk in western Maryland. As Vice Ranking Member of the House Natural Resources Committee, I will continue to fight for the protection of our native wildlife & the habitats they rely on.
Today is National Wildlife Day, a time to appreciate and raise awareness about efforts to protect our native wildlife. Maryland is home to thousands of unique plants and animals that contribute to a larger ecosystem.
If you or your family have been impacted by the President’s cuts to the federal workforce, you can find the resource guide for federal workers & other affected communities my team put together linked above.
Representing over 44,000 federal employees, I am committed to fighting against the President’s unlawful attacks on those who serve the American people.
We chatted about the future of the Academy, support for military families, and even our shared love of oceanography and the Chesapeake Bay. I look forward to working together to support the moral, mental, and physical development of our Midshipmen. Go Navy!
Lt. General Borgschulte brings decades of experience commanding at every level, serving in key operational and strategic assignments across the Marine Corps and on the ground in multiple deployments.
Earlier this week, I had the opportunity to welcome and sit down with Lieutenant General Michael Borgschulte, the new Superintendent of the U.S. Naval Academy!
AmeriCorps supports our neighbors on their hardest days – stocking food pantries, assisting homebound seniors, supporting veterans, & more. While today our courts won, we must keep fighting attempts by the Administration to illegally withhold congressionally appropriated funds from our communities.
Some good news: after a federal court blocked the Trump Administration from eliminating AmeriCorps’ funding, the Administration has now released the full $184 million in funding for the agency.
I’m signed on. Thank you to the Epstein survivors who courageously shared their stories and their resilience on the Hill today. The American people deserve the truth and you deserve justice. If there’s nothing to hide, release the files.
Evidence showed that Direct File saved the average user $160 in return fees and hours of effort in preparing their return. Now it’s your turn to give your input: The IRS is conducting an anonymous feedback survey on tax preparations and filing options. Make your voice heard today:
