MAGA can't whitewash what happened on January 6, 2021 because of the uncontradicted J6 Report and because the insurrectionists themselves photographed and videotaped their crimes. We’ll continue to tell the story of how brave police officers defended the Capitol against Trump’s rampaging mob.
For MAGA, the 1,600 Jan. 6 rioters pardoned by Trump are not white supremacist cop-beaters, violent criminals & seditious conspiracists: they are “patriots,” “political prisoners” & “hostages.” MAGA is rewriting history. Democrats will keep telling the truth, the foundation of democracy.
The current flu out there is seriously brutal. Everybody needs to be vaccinated against flu and COVID-19 too—no matter what propaganda is being spread by RFK Jr. When the health secretary gives medical advice, get a second opinion.
What do Donald Trump and Mike Johnson have to say to families struggling to afford health insurance? Many Americans are deciding between paying rent or seeing a doctor, and House Democrats find that unacceptable.
Our final MD-08 Local Hero of 2025 is Councilmember Kate Stewart, who led MoCo through a trying year with tenacity and compassion as Council President. We shared what gives us hope for our community as we enter 2026.
Donald Trump and the DOJ are breaking federal law by continuing to cover up for Jeffrey Epstein's decades-long, billion-dollar, international sex trafficking ring.   We’re fighting for justice for survivors, accountability for abusers and safety for the public.
Wishing everyone in Maryland’s Eighth District, across America and the world a Merry Christmas. May you and your loved ones gather and rejoice in love and peace this holiday season.
This week's MD-08 Local Hero is Liz Krueger, Director of Homeless Services for the great local group Interfaith Works. Thank you, Liz, for your years of extraordinary service to our community and working to make sure all of our people have a place to call home.
We now have a bipartisan majority of members of Congress demanding a vote to extend ACA tax credits and keep health care affordable for all Americans. Speaker Johnson, bring this legislation to the House Floor immediately or step out of the way.
Today MAGA brought anti-abortion health care legislation to the House Floor that will make the American people sicker, undermine preexisting condition coverage, and drive up health insurance costs. I voted ‘hell no’ on this poison pill prescription.
MAGA’s refusal to extend ACA tax subsidies hurts people like my constituent Rebecca, a cancer survivor who recently lost her job. For Rebecca, giant premium hikes mean she risks missing treatments and losing health insurance altogether.
The GOP’s health care “plan” does nothing for millions who will see their health insurance premiums go through the roof in January. Facing a choice between seeing the doctor and paying your rent is appalling but that’s life in Trump’s America.
The White House is not private property. It does not belong to Donald Trump. It belongs to the people. I’m introducing legislation to protect the building’s historic character against the president’s bulldozer and Marie Antoinette ballroom.
Today I’m leading my colleagues in calling on the government of Vietnam to immediately release internationally respected environmental activist and attorney Dang Dinh Bach. Mr. Bach's detention on phony charges violates his basic human rights—and we demand his release and freedom.
