This Truth Social post is a product of Deranged Trump Syndrome. It teaches nothing but cruelty and nonsense. Any sane person will recognize the danger of its confused reasoning.
The world has lost two magnificently creative human beings in Rob and Michele Reiner. Their violent deaths add to the darkness of these days, but their humor, their compassion and their love for the world shine an imperishable light.
Not extending ACA subsidies means millions of our people will have to choose between seeing the doctor and buying groceries or paying rent. GOP cruelty is not good for public health.
After this weekend’s antisemitic terror attack in Australia, it is more important than ever that people assemble for Hanukkah.
May the Festival of Lights shine brightly in Jewish homes and communities throughout the world.
Sending sympathy and solidarity to the Brown University community which is reeling from an explosion of gun violence in an academic building, another act of terror in our national gun violence nightmare.
Horrified for families gunned down while attending a Hanukkah candle-lighting celebration in Sydney, Australia.
The world rejects this vile act of antisemitic hate and terror. May the memory of those killed be a blessing to their families.
This week's MD-08 Local Hero is Cynthia Marshall, executive director of Action in Montgomery (AIM). Cynthia is a community organizer extraordinaire fighting for housing, health care, the environment and practical hope for our people.
When your health insurance premiums increase next year, thank MAGA Republicans. Donald Trump promised to “lower costs on Day One,” but he spends his days tinkering with plans for his vanity project White House ballroom. Let them eat crypto and pardons for dictators.
Reproductive care is a basic human right—no matter what President Trump and Speaker Johnson say. I’m co-leading 110 Democrats in introducing a resolution to commend state and local governments who are hanging tough for women's health care as MAGA theocrats work to destroy it.
Today, Rep. Don Beyer, Sen. Peter Welch and I are introducing a bill to expand ranked choice voting to all elections for Congress. RCV assures that winners have majority support, no candidate acts as a “spoiler,” and the voting process favors positive coalition-building.
President Trump doesn't just have a problem with Democrats when he's trying to slide his sycophants into U.S. Attorney roles. He has a problem with Senate Republicans, Republican-appointed judges and the Constitution.
In the richest country in the history of the world, you should be able to afford to see a doctor when you get sick.
But Republicans are doing nothing to stop rising health insurance costs or to help people pay them. Republican indifference will have deadly consequences for our people.
While millions scrounge to pay for groceries and medical procedures, FBI Director Kash Patel flies his taxpayer-paid private jet to “date night” with his girlfriend and the “Boondoggle Ranch” (its real name, I kid you not).
House Judiciary Democrats demand reimbursement to the taxpayers.
The three MCPS students who won my 2025 Congressional App Challenge created an impressive app which helps people who are blind or visually impaired successfully, safely and efficiently navigate their surroundings. Congrats and Happy Computer Science Education Week!
Today, journalist Jimmy Lai should be home celebrating his birthday with family. Instead, this brave free speech and democracy advocate languishes in prison. The world demands Jimmy Lai be released and his sham charges dropped.
Meet MD-08 Local Heroes Kevin Xia & Ryan Chen of Whitman HS & Peter Xiao of Blair HS. They won my 2025 Congressional App Challenge for their brilliant app SafeStride, which helps people who are blind or visually impaired navigate their surroundings safely and efficiently.
Millions of Americans watch @cbsnews.com—I do, too. That’s why I’m investigating whether the network’s content is now controlled by journalists or by Trump censors. His tactics are straight out of Putin’s Russia or Xi’s China.
The DOJ is hemorrhaging staff, morale and commitment, as experienced prosecutors are sacked and replaced by unqualified political sycophants.
Trump's Gangster State endangers public safety and national security.
Congratulations to Montgomery County Council President Natali Fani-González and VP Marilyn Balcombe on being unanimously elected as the new Council leaders! And thank you to outgoing President Kate Stewart for her inspiring and effective leadership. I look forward to working with the new leadership!
Trump says “affordability,” which was his campaign theme, is actually a “fake narrative” and a “Democrat con job.” Next argument: everyone at his Great Gatsby black-tie party says Trump tariffs and Trumpflation are working out great!
