This Thanksgiving, I’m grateful for the irrepressible love of freedom in our land, the wisdom of our Founders and successive generations who built strong democracy, and the joyful goodness of our families. Happy Thanksgiving to all.

I’m officially backing the release of climate activist Dang Dinh Bach through the Tom Lantos Human Rights Commission's Defending Freedoms Project. His detainment is widely regarded as fraudulent and likely due to his zealous environmental advocacy. Vietnam should release Mr. Bach immediately.

Kent Sovine is an all-star, all-purpose neighborhood convener. As the leader of CHEER, this #MD08 Local Hero and his stellar team are on the ground working to give voice to everyone in our community.

MoCo teachers and soccer coaches Allie Coyle and Greg Herbert light up the field, the classroom and the future for their students. These MD-08 Local Heroes just led varsity teams at Blair (boys) and Whitman (girls) to historic statewide championships.

Thrilled to welcome Maryland Reps-elect Elfreth, Olszewski and McClain-Delaney to the Capitol and our delegation! Team Maryland stands together strong for the freedom of our people and progress of our state.

Profoundly troubled by the recent sham trial of 45 pro-democracy activists in Hong Kong. Beijing’s ruthless tactics can’t stop the spread of democratic ideals and activism in Hong Kong.

Dozens of Hong Kong Pro-Democracy Leaders Are Jailed Up to 10 Years

The 45 defendants, including Joshua Wong, were at the forefront of the opposition movement crushed by Beijing. Many had already been in jail for years.

For most of recorded history, people have lived under despots and tyrants. But Americans maintain the belief that we can govern ourselves in freedom. No matter the twists and turns of politics, we won't let fear defeat solidarity. My interview with @slate.bsky.social:

Jamie Raskin: “We Can’t Let The Fear Paralyze Us”

Did Matt Gaetz resign just to block the release of the House ethics report?
