Trump froze shipment of millions of dollars’ worth of food to hungry Americans, including 12 truckloads slated for Maryland.
What do we tell hungry families? The president is spending billions on shocking military boondoggles but feeding the hungry is “government waste.”

15 years ago today, Democrats passed the Affordable Care Act to make health care more affordable for millions of Americans.
While Trump, Musk and MAGA wage war on Medicare & Medicaid, we’ll keep fighting for health care as a right, not a privilege.
Dr. Sarah Cooley is an acclaimed climate scientist who was unceremoniously sacked from NOAA by Trump and DOGE while conducting critical research to save our oceans.
This MD-08 Local Hero is determined to use her expertise in service of the American people and our climate.
Are other billionaires deeply invested in China getting this briefing too? Will China be represented at the briefing or will Musk give them a read-out afterwards?
We rallied outside NOAA’s HQ in Silver Spring to defend facts & science, democracy & the rule of law.
Trump & Elon Musk must reinstate the federal workers they illegally sacked from the agency. We're not letting NOAA go down—Congress & the people created it & we’ll defend it.
President Trump attacked the Department of Education and conjured up chaos for public servants eligible for loan forgiveness. But loan forgiveness remains intact, and Democrats are fighting to honor eligible public servants' careers and well-being.
Every American has the right to know what DOGE is doing with their personal information. I submitted a Privacy Act request to DOGE, demanding they tell me why they have my Social Security number and direct deposit information.
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.

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...
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...
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.
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.
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?
