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!

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 19(source)

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.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 17(source)

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.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 16(source)

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...

Trump’s environmental rule-shredding will put lives at risk, ex-EPA heads say

Former agency leaders, including two Republicans, say rollbacks by Lee Zeldin could cause ‘severe harms’

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 14(source)

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.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 14(source)

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.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 14(source)

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...

Musk Retweets ‘Hitler Didn’t Murder Millions’ Message Amid Ongoing Nazi Controversy

Musk and Tesla have faced heightened criticism since the billionaire made a gesture likened to a Nazi salute during an inaugural event in January.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 14(source)

This is a terrible affront to the veterans posthumously dishonored and canceled and to their families. It is a pathological statement that the MAGA government cannot even accept inclusion in death. taskandpurpose.com/news/arlingt...

Arlington Cemetery website drops links for Black, Hispanic, and women veterans

The Arlington National Cemetery website "unpublished" links to material about Black, Hispanic and women veterans.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 13(source)

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.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 13(source)

I introduced legislation to help state and local governments invest in road safety efforts—in memory of Sarah Langenkamp, a fine diplomat, an amazing mother and a beloved friend. I'm grateful to her family for working with me to make our streets and community safer.

Raskin, Van Hollen Introduce Bill to Unlock Federal Funding for Bike and Pedestrian Safety

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 13(source)

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.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 12(source)

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.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 12(source)

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?

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 10(source)

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.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 9(source)

Anyone who cares about the shocking resurgence of antisemitism and its relationship to the attack on democracy all over the world must read this powerful analysis of the Trump-Vance attempt to humiliate President Zelensky in the Oval Office. Tim Snyder’s analysis is devastating.

Antisemitism in the Oval Office

A confrontation seen with a historian's eye

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 8(source)

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.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 8(source)

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.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 6(source)

If Republican members can get jobs restored for their constituents, I want my constituents' jobs restored now.

Rep. Jamie Raskin@raskin.house.govMar 6(source)

Federal workers at HHS conduct critical medical research for America. I led my colleagues in demanding Sec. Kennedy immediately reinstate illegally purged civil servants in his agency.

Democrats From D.C., Maryland and Virginia Warn That NIH Cuts Are ‘Devastating’ for Medical Research

Ahead of the 60th anniversary of Bloody Sunday, I'm joining Rep. Terri Sewell to reintroduce the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act to protect the right of all Americans to vote without tricks & laws of suppression. Let's summon the moral purpose of the great Congressman Lewis.
