On Labor Day, we recognize those whose skill, dedication, and contributions support our communities and keep the economy moving.
American workers and labor unions are the backbone of our nation. Let us continue working to protect workers’ rights, raise wages, and create opportunities for all.
The Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope launch marks a key milestone for NASA, space exploration, & our nation.
I'm incredibly proud of our skilled team at NASA Goddard in Greenbelt, MD for their work to build & test the telescope. Let's keep reaching for the stars!

Trump's plans to issue a civilian federal employee pay freeze in 2027 will only further reduce morale and retention & make it harder to recruit the best & brightest to serve.
If we want a government that reflects the best of America & deliver for our people, we must invest in our federal workforce.
Team Maryland will keep fighting to deliver a new, secure headquarters in Maryland that meets the FBI's mission and their needs.

After a years-long & competitive process, Greenbelt, MD, was selected as the site for the new FBI headquarters.
Today, I'm glad the Court ruled to reaffirm that the Trump Admin's actions to ignore this selection are unlawful & void.
Americans deserve better, and Democrats are fighting to deliver on the promises Trump couldn't keep.
Trump promised he would lower prices on Day One. Instead, he cut affordable health care and vital food assistance while enacting policies that raised the cost of daily essentials – from utilities and gas to groceries.
91 years ago, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed Social Security into law to provide a social safety net to millions of Americans and their families.
I will continue fighting to protect Americans' hard-earned benefits as we work to strengthen this vital program for future generations.
While this sanctions bill would be a major positive step, we must continue working to ensure Ukrainians have every tool needed to see this war to victory.
As Ukraine defends democracy against despotism, it is critical that we send the strongest message of American support.
I’m proud to join Rep. McCaul to introduce bipartisan legislation to impose the toughest sanctions on Putin's war machine.
With fewer jobs, skyrocketing gas prices, & higher inflation, the July jobs report captures a feeling that many Americans know all too well — uncertainty.
While this President tries to change the subject from the growing affordability crisis, the numbers tell the same devastating story.
These serious discrepancies are proof that DOGE itself was wasteful, deceptive, and abusive.
Trump & Musk promised that DOGE would deliver massive savings and government efficiency. Instead, DOGE consistently overstated and misrepresented its savings while creatingchaos & crisis in critical government programs and key agencies.
Let us continue the work that John has called each of us to do to protect the equal right to vote and every Americans' voice in our democracy.
While we celebrate the law's 61st anniversary, it is critical that we continue to fight back against Republicans' efforts to dilute the voting power of minority communities across the country.
One of the greatest privileges of my career has been working with my brother, John Lewis, to strengthen & preserve the Voting Rights Act.
Every American has a right to quality and affordable health care, no matter their age or circumstance, and Democrats will continue to fight for that access to vital coverage and care.
We commemorate the 61st anniversary of Medicare and Medicaid in the aftermath of Trump & Republicans devastating cuts to Americans’ health care.
