President Trump says he can bring a Marylander home to his family—but won't. Sounds like he has contempt for the law and the court. "Where law ends, tyranny begins."

Across the country, the people are rising up and sending a clear message to Donald Trump: we need an economy that works for working families, not for autocrats and oligarchs.
Donald Trump is striking out every day in court, not because these are rogue judges but because he's a rogue president and, here in America, the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the rule of law are our North Star.

🚨 JUDICIARY REPUBLICANS JUST VOTED TO ALLOW IMMIGRATION AGENTS TO USE BILLIONS OF YOUR TAX DOLLARS TO ARREST, DETAIN, AND DEPORT US CITIZENS.
Federal workers discover treatments and cures for diseases. They keep us safe from disasters and emergencies of all kinds. What’s more, they take care that the laws are faithfully executed every day even when the president is trying to thwart and destroy the laws and the Constitution.
Every member of Congress must make a choice. Do you stand with a lawless authoritarian who is crashing our economy and giving away the store to billionaires at the expense of American families, or do you stand with the people he’s hurting every day?
I know whose side I’m on.
We can't rest until government is restored as an instrument for the people, not our homegrown theocrats, kleptocrats and oligarchs.
Federal workers show up for the American people every day. They do their jobs.
Donald Trump should try doing his. Stop trashing the Constitution and our laws.
My statement on the Antisemitism Awareness Act ahead of tomorrow's Senate markup:
There's no labor movement without democracy and there's no democracy without the labor movement.
I joined @afscme.bsky.social to discuss how MAGA's cuts to Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid undermine the achievements of democracy and will devastate our families.
Putin, who has sent around one million Russians to their deaths in his imperialist attack on Ukraine, salutes his fellow tyrant-dictator Kim Jong Un for sacrificing thousands of North Koreans in this sickening war. All free democracies stand with Ukraine.
House Republicans are trying to ram through a budget that ends Medicaid as we know it and discards the interests of children, seniors and veterans.
Shoulder to shoulder, the people say 'hell no.' Hang tough everybody.
Gerry Connolly is a passionate champion for federal workers, a steadfast defender of the American people and a beloved friend. He will face this renewed cancer fight as he's faced other battles: with fierce bravery and grit. Sending my love, support and solidarity to a great leader and friend.
Trump’s working to turn America’s professional civil service into an army of MAGA-cap brandishing sycophants, completely gutting the Hatch Act and hustling America down the path of Orbán and Putin. We have to stop this.
The nominee for U.S. Attorney in D.C. is a Jan. 6 conspiracy theorist and celebrant who praised a white supremacist Hitler-lover as an “extraordinary man, and extraordinary leader.” Are there no Republicans who will oppose this disgraceful nomination? www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Tim Whitehouse and his team at PEER protect the rights of civil servants who protect our environment.
This MD-08 Local Hero makes sure the critical functions of our government run properly to protect the land, air, water and climate.
Every American should be deeply troubled by this massive escalation, and @democrats-judiciary.house.gov are standing strong for judicial independence. This is an unmistakable descent further into authoritarian chaos.
This is a drastic escalation and dangerous new front in Trump’s authoritarian campaign of trying to bully, intimidate and impeach judges who won’t follow his dictates.
We must do whatever we can to defend the independent judiciary in America.
Forced disappearances are the trademark human rights violation of the world's most infamous dictators. Our Constitution and Bill of Rights were designed to stop arbitrary and discriminatory abuse of power and cruel and unusual punishments.
