Trump’s team says he can take a $400 million gift, Bribe Force One, from the dictator of Qatar because it’s transparent. Well, you can rob a bank in broad daylight but it’s still bank robbery.
If he wants to keep this lavish gift, he must come to Congress for our consent. See Art. I sec. 9.

1 in 5 American women rely on Medicaid. MAGA’s budget destroys wellness and reproductive care for millions of them. I stand with women and families across the country saying ‘hell no’ to this MAGA wrecking ball.
The American Framers didn’t—& the American people don’t—want a president corrupted by foreign state money, gifts or luxury jets. Glad to join @brennancenter.org at the @constitutionctr.bsky.social to discuss the Emoluments Clause & the meaning of the Constitution & Articles of Confederation.
An unconstitutional gift is at the heart of this presidential grift. No presents “of any kind whatever” are allowed from foreign states and kings without Congressional consent.
The VA’s work serving our vets isn't "waste, fraud and abuse." Honored to support advocates from @commondefense.bsky.social who are standing in the breach to fight GOP attempts to demoralize and privatize the VA.
“I would never be one to turn down that kind of an offer.” Truer words have never been spoken by Trump! But legality is a constitutional test—not a personality test. Is this a present “of any kind whatever” from a foreign state? It is—so Trump must seek Congressional consent.
The Trump Tariffs are hiking prices on groceries, cars and electronics.
My and @schumer.senate.gov's Truth in Tariffs Act shows American families how much the Trump Tariffs are costing them. We have a right to know.
Protect Medicaid. Protect democracy and its programmatic achievements.
As we mark 50 years of Ride On bus service in Montgomery County, we honor MD-08 Local Hero Wayne Harding, a beloved MCDOT bus driver of 24 years who sings the praises of safe and efficient public transportation in our community.
Resplendent and ample talent on display at MD-08’s student art competition. Congratulations to all, including our winner, Katherine Xue of Richard Montgomery High School, with her detailed piece “Coming Home,” which will display in the Cannon Tunnel.

All fellow Marylanders can take pride in the work of Dr. Carla Hayden, who has provided remarkable leadership as the Librarian of Congress. Her sacking by Donald Trump, who knows little about Congress & less about libraries, is a scandal exposing his contempt for learning, literature & knowledge.

Donald Trump is taxing the American people with his tariffs, and they have a right to know exactly how much.
I'm introducing legislation with @raskin.house.gov to require retailers to show consumers precisely how much the tariffs are increasing the prices of their products.
Americans have a right to know the REAL cost of the Trump Tariffs.
My Truth in Tariffs Act will require large retailers to show how much more consumers are paying for an item because of tariffs—President Trump’s foolish new national sales tax.
Elon Musk can promote all his business interests as a "special government employee" and all his government decisions serve his business purposes.
This isn't just a "conflict of interest."
It's a total convergence of his interests.
Medicaid is a lifeline for 80 million Americans, including more than a million right here in Maryland.
Let’s rise up against the House GOP’s billionaires’ budget that calls for hundreds of millions of dollars in planned cuts to Medicaid.
During Public Service Recognition Week, let's honor and defend all federal workers who keep the wheels of government turning in the face of MAGA dysfunction and sabotage and all of those who were sacked by Trump and Musk for no reason at all.
If guilty people don't have Due Process rights, then innocent people don't have Due Process rights, because we don't know if they're innocent or guilty until we have a trial or hearing.
Go, Katie, go! Montgomery County is cheering for you always and forever proud of your achievements. Keep inspiring kids everywhere to reach their dreams, in the pool and in the world.
During Jewish American History Month, we honor the achievements, contributions and sacrifices of Jewish Americans, especially those made for democracy and freedom. We must continue to reject antisemitism and everyone who seeks to weaponize it to gain power.
