NASA Goddard missions are critical to understanding the universe & our planet, developing innovative technology, & ensuring national security. I join members of the Maryland Delegation to fight against OMB's budget proposal for NASA, which threatens this vital work & the men & women who conduct it.
Thankfully, the Supreme Court has ruled that the Trump Administration must facilitate Kilmar Armando Abrego Garcia’s return to the U.S. Trump has the duty & power to bring Mr. Abrego Garcia back to Maryland & must act swiftly to do so.

On today's Democratic Daily Download, former Marine @carbajal.house.gov discuses today’s hearing that exposed Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s devastating cuts to the VA and how they’re firing veterans in critical jobs across the government.
Republicans threw out the rulebook to force through a budget that would explode the national debt, slash Medicaid, & raise prices for working Americans to fund massive tax cuts for billionaires. The American people shouldn't have to bear additional costs to help the wealthy get even further ahead.
Glad to see Commissioner Samuels has challenged her unlawful dismissal from EEOC. I was proud to join 240 of my colleagues to demand her reinstatement, & we'll continue working together to hold the Trump Admin accountable for their attacks on workers & their rights. nadler.house.gov/uploadedfile...
We joined partners to file suit on behalf of Jocelyn Samuels, an Equal Employment Opportunity Commissioner who was unlawfully removed from her position by Donald Trump. Her removal threatens the vital mission to protect Americans from workplace discrimination. Here's what you need to know ⬇️

The Republican budget kicks millions of Americans off their health care just to hand trillions in giveaways to Trump's billionaire donors. While Republicans betray the middle class, Democrats are fighting for American families. @congressmanboyle.bsky.social on today's Democratic Daily Download:
Trump & Musk want to isolate federal employees and agencies to make it more difficult to serve the American people. Their actions are perverse & contrary to the interests of our nation. We must continue to hold the administration accountable & work against their unlawful agenda.
Choosing to ban @apnews.com shows this White House’s disdain for a free press and violates the First Amendment. I am glad to see a Trump-appointed judge restore the Associated Press’ full access to presidential events.
The Associated Press wins reinstatement to White House events after judge rules government can’t bar its journalists, citing the 1st Amendment.

On today’s Democratic Daily Download, @democrats-cha.house.gov Ranking Member Rep. Joe Morelle breaks down how House Republicans' so-called “SAVE” Act is a voter suppression bill that disenfranchises married women, undermines our elections, and weakens our democracy.
I remain deeply concerned by the economic consequences of Trump's tariffs. I joined @repkweisimfume.bsky.social & the MD Congressional Delegation to demand answers on how these tariffs would impact the @portofbalt.bsky.social as well as major ports, industries, & workforces throughout the country.
U.S. Capitol Police ensure the safety & security of Congressional buildings, lawmakers, & the American people. Watch @democrats-appropriations.house.gov and I now as we make sure they have the support they need to continue protecting & serving the Capitol Complex:
Join me and @democrats-appropriations.house.gov as we discuss FY2026 funding for the Architect of the Capitol & Library of Congress' programs & projects to maintain our campuses and ensure they fulfill our legislative and national responsibilities to the nation. Tune in now: youtu.be/ROlOdOkiGhY

Trump promised lower costs and a booming economy on day one. Instead, our economy is actively tanking and the cost of goods are about to get even more expensive. Working families can't afford to pay the price of these Trump Tariffs. More from @frost.house.gov on the Democratic Daily Download.
As Co-Chair of Congressional Fire Services Caucus, I was honored to join the National Fallen Firefighters Flag Ceremony to remember our fallen heroes. I am grateful for firefighters, first responders, & their families for their courage, service, & sacrifice to our nation. They'll never be forgotten.
Amid attacks on Medicaid & vital programs, I was glad to attend the Disability policy Seminar today to discuss advocacy & action to support people with disabilities. I will continue working to build on the #ADA to protect and expand legislation to ensure equality, access, & opportunity for all.
Libraries, museums, and historic sites are hubs for civic activity, digital inclusion, workforce development, childcare and community connection, and much more. Trump and DOGE’s attacks on @nehgov.bsky.social & IMLS are direct attacks on our communities and democracy itself.
