Trump's funding cuts to the U.S. Department of Labor does little to support our workers and ought to concern us all. Watch @democrats-appropriations.house.gov as we push against the Trump Administration's budget that would eliminate job training and critical protections for the nation's workforce.
The FTC is essential to promoting fair competition and protecting American consumers from scam calls, fraud, and unfair business practices. Tune in now as I join @democrats-appropriations.house.gov to discuss funding for the agency to continue its vital, nonpartisan work. youtu.be/0NZxkvYaVuk
I thank @lynch.house.gov for convening colleagues and allies to discuss how we can combat the Trump Admin's attacks on federal employees. I will always stand with federal employees and against the continued efforts to demean and vilify their service to the American people.
I join to mourn the loss of my friend, former Senator Kit Bond. Kit was a skilled legislator who was never afraid to work across the aisle or buck his own party to deliver results for Missourians and the American people. My prayers are with his loved ones.
The Trump Administration has left our families less safe, and our government less transparent than when they took office. As @democrats-appropriations.house.gov demand answers from top Trump officials this week, I am bringing these stories of federal employees who were wrongly treated:
The U.S. has been a leader in science and public health for decades until the Trump Admin purged NIH, the CDC, and the FDA. Join me and @democrats-appropriations.house.gov at 9:30 a.m. as we demand answers from Secretary Kennedy on cuts to lifesaving research & access to vital services.
Use of the appropriations process to punish the judiciary for unfavorable rulings isn’t what our founders had in mind. I joined @pocan.house.gov, @bishop.house.gov, and @ivey.house.gov to call on Republicans to reject the recent assaults on the rule of law.
I am relieved to hear that Edan Alexander is on his way home after 580 days in Hamas captivity. I will keep working to ensure the U.S. and Israel fulfills the mission to bring every hostage home & end Hamas' rule over Gaza. I wish Edan and his family continued strength.
Maryland families and federal employees have been disproportionately affected by Republicans' cuts to essential services. Team Maryland will continue working against the Trump Administration's attacks to ensure the well-being of Marylanders and our nation. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...
I applaud the National Park Service for paying tribute to those who bravely escaped slavery with 5 Maryland historical site additions to the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Program. We must continue the fight to preserve our nation's history & reflect on how far we still have to go.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers in Maryland’s Fifth District and across the country. Thank you for all the love you give and the hard work you do for your families and our communities.
Thank you to all who joined us for the 44th Annual Service Academies & College ROTC Showcase. It was great to see so many #MD05 students that are eager to defend our country and serve our nation in uniform. I wish them much luck, and I look forward to meeting students throughout the process.
My friend Dr. Carla Hayden is a patriot who worked hard to improve the @librarycongress.bsky.social's efficiency and preserve American history. It is disappointing that Trump cut her historic tenure so shamefully short. I thank Dr. Hayden for her extraordinary service.
If Ukraine loses, America loses. We cannot turn our back on our allies and the world to appease dictators. Let's stand up for freedom, law, and justice. Let’s stand with the courageous Ukrainians as they fight against the Russian aggressor. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...
Looking forward to the 44th Annual Service Academy & College ROTC Showcase tonight at 6:00 p.m. and seeing representatives from U.S. Service Academies inspire #MD05 youth to continue the legacy of service. Click here to register for tonight's showcase: t.co/5sLBCMinrK
LOCATION CHANGE: My office’s Service Academies Showcase will take place at the Center for Performing Arts at Prince George’s Community College in Largo. (301 Largo Road, MD, 2077). We look forward to seeing all the students and their families on Thursday, May 8th!

On today's Democratic Daily Download, @repjahanahayes.bsky.social explains how Republicans are trying to cut $230 billion from food assistance. House Democrats are fighting back with the Hands Off Medicaid and SNAP Act to protect these basic needs programs.
