Patients benefit from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, which helps to reduce medical errors, protect patient safety, and make care more affordable. I joined @blumenthal.senate.gov and @beyer.house.gov in sending a message to Trump and DOGE last week: hands off AHRQ!
More than 150,000 MD-08 residents rely on Medicaid for lifesaving care, yet Trump & MAGA are pushing the largest cut ever. Let’s defend Medicaid with everything we’ve got.
Culture war censors at Secretary Pete Hegseth's DoD are purging books and learning materials from military-run schools. Military families deserve best-in-class education access and the First Amendment rights they defend for us all.
If Vladimir Putin had a plan to foul our air and water, wreck public health and drive America over the cliff of irreversible lethal climate change, it would look exactly like Lee Zeldin’s plan. This is a plan for self-inflicted environmental disaster. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
We need strong federal, state and local teamwork to protect our people from the lawless actions of the Trump Admin—and I'm honored to call Maryland AG Anthony Brown my partner. Thanks to this Local Hero for standing in the breach for Marylanders.
From the halls of Congress to the communities of Southern Arizona, America mourns the painful loss of Congressman Raúl Grijalva, a passionate and undaunted servant of the people. Sending love and strength to his family. May his memory be a blessing to us all.
Public sector workers in democracies fought fascism and genocide. In totalitarian states, some went along with totalitarian crimes; some resisted. What kind of “public sector worker” will Elon Musk be? www.forbes.com/sites/antoni...
One day after Republicans passed a bill to slash NOAA funding, DOGE plans to cut 1,000 jobs from the agency which produces weather data and climate science. Trump thinks he can redirect hurricanes with his Sharpie but you don’t need a weatherman to know this administration blows.
House Dems are ready and eager to vote for a 4-week funding extension to block these devastating cuts and keep the government open, allowing us to reach a serious bipartisan compromise.
The biggest entitlement crisis in America is Trump and Musk’s sense of entitlement—they think they own the country. But we’re going to defend Social Security and Medicare against Musk’s chainsaw as the slash-and-burn campaign continues.
DOGE just sacked half of @usedgov’s workforce, including lawyers defending students with disabilities. If these chainsaw massacres are so popular, why don’t they bring them to Congress first? How many cases do they have to lose?
Today, I joined Indivisible members from MoCo and across our region to stand up for democracy, federal workers and the rule of law. We are beating Musk and Trump every day in court, and we will keep going.
Today, tons of Marylanders rallied at the Lincoln Memorial with Dr. Francis Collins, Bill Nye the Science Guy and thousands of others to tell MAGA to let our expert civil servant scientists get back to work, pursuing facts and conducting critical research for the common good.
My Joint Address guest Dr. Lauren McGee is a NIH cancer biologist who was summarily fired by a DOGE worker she never met during Elon Musk's Valentine's Day assault on the federal workforce. This MD-08 Local Hero was doing pathbreaking research to treat pediatric cancer.
