Wishing a Happy Father’s Day to all the awesome Dads, step-Dads, grandfathers, and father figures in MD-08 and beyond! Thank you for loving and nurturing your families, enriching our communities and showing up every day with care, wisdom and strength.
This Immigrant Heritage Month, we celebrate successive generations of hardworking immigrants who have helped build Maryland and our nation. Let’s unite to honor our history and to oppose ICE and Border Patrol’s lawless and chaotic raids that have terrorized immigrants and our communities.
Donald Trump converted the White House into a money-making operation for himself, his family, and his closest advisors and biggest campaign donors. It's endless corrupt self-enrichment from a president who says he doesn't "think about Americans' financial situation.” No kidding.
This Gun Violence Awareness Month, we rededicate ourselves to ending this public health emergency ravaging our people. We stand in solidarity with survivors and grieving families. Congress must ACT NOW to pass popular and commonsense gun safety reforms to enforce the basic social contract.
News flash, Mr. President! We appreciate your candor in admitting you “love inflation” and don’t think about other Americans’ “financial situation,” but we hate inflation and can’t stand your illegal tariffs, taxes and wars. We’re sick of your economy for oligarchs!
Reporter: Are you concerned, Mr. President, about the latest inflation number which came out this morning? Trump: No, I love it. I love the inflation.
It was a great pleasure addressing a bipartisan group of House and Senate interns on the Constitution and their own role in shaping the future of American democracy. These patriotic young people are helping make Congress and government work for all our people.
Most Americans agree with House Democrats: stop spending our tax dollars on ICE and Border Patrol’s lawless, violent campaign against our own people. But Trump’s enablers in the House want to send another round of billions to fund Trump’s reign of fear and violence.
This isn't about one slush fund or one president. I've introduced legislation to stop any president from using taxpayer money to bankroll their political allies and score a family sweeping Super Pardon. Congress must act urgently to ban these ripoff schemes and collusive 'settlements.'
On D-Day, thousands of brave Americans descended on the shores of Normandy, risking their lives for our freedom and democracy. Today, we honor their service and pledge never to forget their nobility, dedication and patriotism.
This week's Local Hero is Crystal Foretia, a MoCo native and Yale Law School student, who dedicated years of study to the history of racial segregation in Maryland's youth justice system. She discusses with me some of her powerful and disturbing findings.
A bipartisan majority in the House voted to rein in President Trump's lawless, profligate and blood-soaked war in Iran. Only Congress can declare war and no such declaration has been made. This is a win for the powers and the wisdom of the legislative branch.
President Trump's extraordinarily corrupt slush fund would funnel $1.8 billion of taxpayer money to his political patrons and January 6 white nationalist foot soldiers. While the courts blocked the DOJ scheme for now, Congress still must act to bar this dirty deal forever.
This Pride Month let’s resolve to keep defending the civil rights and liberties of our LGBTQIA+ neighbors and of all Americans against authoritarian clampdown.

Happy Pride and keep pride in democracy.
In honor of the 75th anniversary of MoCo Public Libraries, this week's MD-08 Local Hero is the dazzling Sarah Fradkin, head of adult services at the Rockville Memorial Library. Sarah shared the exciting details of the library’s upcoming Summer Reading program. Let’s all sign up and read!
Springsteen spoke for America last night from Nats Park when he said Trump's $1.8 billion slush fund is "an American outrage." The people’s representatives in Congress cannot allow hundreds of millions of our tax dollars to be showered on MAGA partisans and white nationalist foot soldiers.
The Trump Administration is abruptly closing two USDA childcare centers for federal workers, giving families less than three months to make new arrangements for their kids. If this administration is so “pro-family,” then USDA should immediately reverse this action.
This Memorial Day, we remember and honor our patriotic service members who gave the last full measure of devotion to protect our democracy and our liberty. May their memory be a blessing to their families and to all who cherish freedom in America.
This week’s MD-08 Local Hero is the amazing Rob Goldman, who has led the Montgomery Housing Partnership for 25 years. Rob serves as an instrumental force in making housing more available and affordable in our community. Thanks for a great 25 years, Rob!
People in Congress and across the country grieve the passing of Barney Frank, who over three decades of service in Congress was an extraordinary champion for the civil rights and civil liberties of all people. May his memory be a blessing to his family and our entire nation.
