While the Trump Administration continues to waste government funds and abuse executive power, Republicans are jamming through a bill that diminishes the power of a coequal branch of government. Watch @democrats-appropriations.house.gov fight back at 6:00 tonight:
This week, Marylanders will experience record temperatures as a heat wave intensifies along the East Coast. I urge all in the #MD05 region to pay attention to weather updates and continue taking precautions to stay safe & keep cool during this heat wave: health.maryland.gov/heat
160 years ago, enslaved Black Americans in Galveston, TX, heard freedom's ring. Their triumph reminds us of Opal Lee's wise words: ‘We have simply got to make people aware that none of us are free until we’re all free.’ Happy Freedom Day, MD-05!
I joined doctors, hospital leadership, and health care experts at Calvert Health to discuss the impact of the Medicaid and health care cuts in Congressional Republicans’ Big, Ugly Bill. This legislation will explode the deficit and jeopardize care for millions of Americans.
Trump and House GOP’s cuts to SNAP will leave many of our nation’s poorest families with nowhere to turn. I want to thank the Bowie Interfaith Pantry and Emergency Aid Fund for serving vulnerable families in MD-05.
To all the dads out there — your positive example has blessed your family and helped build strong children. Being a father, grandfather, and great-grandfather are my proudest titles. Happy Father's Day!
Thank you all for the wonderful birthday wishes! I enjoyed spending another birthday with my loved ones, and I look forward to another great year of serving #MD05.
I am devastated by the politically motivated attack on Minnesota lawmakers, Rep. Hortman & her husband Mark & Sen. John Hoffman & his wife, Yvette. Public servants ought to be able to serve the American people without fear for their safety or lives. I send my deepest condolences to their families.
Republicans just voted to revoke funding passed by Congress for foreign aid and public broadcasting networks that keep millions safe and informed. We must not let the Trump Administration continues its attack on the free press and foment chaos, crisis, and absurdity at home and abroad.
Despite promising to make life more affordable, the Trump Administration is pushing devastating cuts to health care and food assistance. Doing so represents a harmful betrayal to the Americans who use SNAP and food assistance to feed their kids and get back on their feet.
I am deeply saddened by the Air India flight crash that occurred earlier today and resulted in over 200 lives lost. Thank you to the first responders working on the recovery operation and personnel investigating the crash. I share my condolences to those impacted by this tragedy.
Trump's illegal firing of federal employees increases costs and red tape for Veterans. In the @democrats-appropriations.house.gov markup, I shared Albert Ostering’s story, a federal employee and Veteran who has served this country for over 30 years:
