To preserve our oceans, the waterways and the vibrant ecosystems they support, we need NOAA. We must defend government scientists and researchers against the Trump Administration's full-blown assault on science, government and environmental laws.
Today I introduced the BARK Act to help America feed hungry shelter animals. We need everyone involved to get this bi-paw-tisan bill passed into law, including from our furry friends. We’re in dogged pursuit of passage this Congress. Send good pet pictures below ⬇️
Democrats, Republicans and independents alike can agree that shelter animals deserve dignity and care. The BARK Act will feed the growing population of hungry pets. Let's get it done! And thanks, Montgomery County Humane Society, for the assist.
Trump once attacked crypto as a danger. Now he’s made billions from it. His meme coin allows any foreign state, King, pardon seeker or criminal org to secretly put money directly in his pocket. And Trump’s SEC mysteriously dropped 13 investigations against crypto fraudsters.
Nationally, pet stores discard millions of pounds of leftover inventory every year, including perfectly good food, leashes and crates. I’m introducing the BARK Act to ensure pet suppliers can donate extra food, blankets and other essentials to the rising population of shelter animals in need.
No matter who occupies the White House, love must trump hate. This Pride Month, we celebrate LGBTQ+ Americans who make a difference in MD-08 and around the world, and we recommit to fighting to make democracy work for all our people.
MAGA and DOGE are engaged in a hostile takeover of the political institutions and programmatic achievements of American democracy. We must defend democracy and the progress we have made with it.
John Dewey said that the only solution to the ills of democracy is more democracy, and what we are suffering from today is not democracy but all the impediments and obstacles to it—and all the attacks on it.
The GOP's billionaires’ tax bill pulls the plug on Medicaid coverage for millions of Americans, including thousands of Maryland families. The Senate must block this attack on the American people.
Chief Manger, we’re grateful for your years of unflagging leadership to the U.S. Capitol Police and the Montgomery County Police Department and for your devotion to guarding public safety. You’ve been a great champion for police officers and all the people you serve.
These legislators should be forced to vote on each Commandment separately—not an omnibus package—& no one should be allowed to vote for a Commandment they've violated lest they violate the Third Commandment. Or: they should respect the Establishment Clause & get back to work.
Because of Trump's dismantling of USAID, 60,000 metric tons of food that were bound to serve the poorest kids on earth are now on the brink of rotting in America. Our anti-hunger groups are ready to spring into action. What say you, Mr. President?
On Memorial Day, we honor members of the military who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their devotion and service to American democracy. We will never forget their service and will honor them by following them in their constitutional patriotism however and whenever we can.
