Having thrown the government into chaos, Trump now returns to his trademark idiocy of blaming everything on “DEI,” which is his all-purpose excuse for his own rank incompetence, non-existent leadership skills and pathological indifference to the needs of the people.

My district is home to NIH and thousands of nonpartisan scientists who spur innovation and research cures for cystic fibrosis, lung cancer, heart disease and more.
President Trump and the GOP are jeopardizing vital medical research.
This is what government under oligarchy looks like.
Democrats will be there to rebuff every attack on the critical government services Congress has voted for for our people.
President Trump pulled back his order to freeze federal funding after the American people reacted with horror and outrage.
But the damage has been done in continuing chaos, and he’s not giving up.
Terrifying news breaking of a terrible plane crash at DCA. I’m closely monitoring reports of this major aircraft accident and am grateful that first responders and emergency personnel are on the scene. Prayers for all affected by this catastrophe.
I'm strongly supporting Rep. Gerry Connolly's Saving the Civil Service Act to protect the people against Trump's hostile takeover of our civil service.
Democracy can’t work without a civil service which operates on the basis of merit, not partisan control for private plunder.
President Trump's lawless federal grant freeze attacks critical public services that we all depend on.
Their assault on civil society now threatens fire safety, school lunches, disaster relief, cancer research, law enforcement and more.
We will fight to resolve this constitutional crisis.
On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, we honor the memory of the millions of Jews, Roma and others killed in the Holocaust by Nazis and fascists.
HIAS began when Jews coming to America were refugees from pogroms. Today it’s a Jewish charity helping to resettle other refugees fleeing political & religious violence. Our MD-08 Local Hero Mark Hetfield & his team at HIAS remember that all our families were once strangers.
Fresh from the mass pardons of cop-beating criminals, the GOP announces a new “investigation” of Jan. 6.
Hard to see what they can add to the 800-page report of the bipartisan Jan. 6 Cmte, but they can procure the star witness who has so far refused to testify: Donald Trump.
Grateful for the leadership of Maryland Attorney General Anthony Brown who joined 22 other state attorneys general in challenging President Trump's unconstitutional birthright citizenship executive order.
Thanks to all our state and local leaders hanging tough for the Fourteenth Amendment.
I’m hearing from constituents whose jobs are at risk because they do agency outreach to minority communities.
Consider what this means for public health, national security, agriculture and justice.
The war on DEI has become a war on public service and government for all.
Most Americans support gun licensing laws, which reduce firearm homicides.
My legislation with @vanhollen.senate.gov would incentivize states to require a license to purchase a handgun so we can reduce the bloody gun-violence body count across America.
Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee rail about public safety and immigration—while their president pardons violent insurrectionists and kills bipartisan border legislation.
Democrats are working for public safety and immigration reform. Is the GOP?
15 years after Citizens United, which transformed every corporate treasury in America into a potential political slush fund, we now see the result: government of billionaires, by oligarchs, for plutocrats.
President Trump's first executive orders free violent insurrectionists who followed his orders, seek to destroy birthright citizenship, attack the professional civil service and spread chaos.
At once humbled and uplifted to be the keynote speaker at the Alpha Phi Alpha MLK Scholarship Breakfast. An amazing morning with Senators @chrisvanhollen.bsky.social and Alsobrooks and hundreds of MoCo activists. May Dr. King’s passion for democracy, human rights and solidarity inspire us.
As we prepare for MLK Day, it’s my pleasure to recognize MD-08’s Dr. Daryl Davis as our Local Hero. This blues piano sensation, accomplished author and determined opponent of—and, amazingly, friend to—Klansmen and white supremacists, has been transforming America, often one racist at a time.
My district team joined the MoCo Council to celebrate Muslim American Heritage Month. In MoCo, diversity is our strength, unity is our power, and community is our destiny.
