East Potomac Golf Links made civil rights history in 1941, becoming one of the first desegregated public golf courses in the country. Now President Trump is targeting this historic course for his latest vanity project. We’re demanding an end to the chaos.
This week's MD-08 Local Hero is artistic visionary Busy Graham. Thank you, Busy, for your decades of service making the arts more accessible to everyone in our community. Check out her inspiring thoughts.
Great news: The House passed my bipartisan legislation with Representatives Don Bacon and Maxine Dexter to protect pension payments during a government shutdown for thousands of dedicated and patriotic NOAA Corps Officers and USPHS Commissioned Corps Officers.
This week’s MD-08 Local Hero is Stephanie Helsing, President and CEO of the Greater Silver Spring Chamber of Commerce. Thank you, Stephanie, for working every day to enliven our community and strengthen our great local businesses.
Palestinian pediatrician Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya is being held and reportedly tortured in an Israeli prison with no charges, no trial and no Due Process. Netanyahu's government must immediately release him from these lawless, horrific and life-threatening conditions.
The great state of Maryland, in partnership with our splendid local libraries, offers free virtual information sessions where our neighbors can learn more about Social Security benefits from an SSA expert. Register to join here:
Today's MD-08 Local Hero is Matt Miziorko, Emergency Management Specialist with MoCo's Office of Emergency Management and Homeland Security. Matt closely monitors local storm patterns and the county's flood sensor network, working to keep our people safe from severe storms and flash flooding.
It was a great honor to lead a delegation of members of Congress on a visit to the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington to see this mesmerizing archive of Jewish American history and culture in the DMV. Check out the amazing exhibit called “Blacklisted.”
Susan Goering was a beloved advocate in Maryland for the civil rights and liberties of our people. We honor her lifetime of splendid service, including leading ACLU of Maryland. May the memory of this wonderful woman be a blessing to her family and to all those she loved and served.
Attention student borrowers, especially SAVE Plan borrowers: because of Trump and MAGA’s Big Ugly Law, today starts a 90-day period requiring SAVE borrowers to transition to a new plan. All other borrowers face changes under this law and can explore options at:
On the anniversary of Obergefell v. Hodges, we celebrate the landmark decision legalizing marriage equality nationwide. As the Trump Administration continues its sweeping MAGA attacks on LGBTQIA+ Americans, we recommit to defending freedom, dignity and equal protection for all.
Public health research at world-class institutions like the NIH is an important public good. Rep. Suzan DelBene, Rep. Lori Trahan and I are leading 122 of our colleagues to oppose the Trump Administration’s efforts to give partisan political appointees final say over health research grants.
Wishing a Happy Father’s Day to all the awesome Dads, step-Dads, grandfathers, and father figures in MD-08 and beyond! Thank you for loving and nurturing your families, enriching our communities and showing up every day with care, wisdom and strength.
This Immigrant Heritage Month, we celebrate successive generations of hardworking immigrants who have helped build Maryland and our nation.
Let’s unite to honor our history and to oppose ICE and Border Patrol’s lawless and chaotic raids that have terrorized immigrants and our communities.
Donald Trump converted the White House into a money-making operation for himself, his family, and his closest advisors and biggest campaign donors. It's endless corrupt self-enrichment from a president who says he doesn't "think about Americans' financial situation.” No kidding.
This Gun Violence Awareness Month, we rededicate ourselves to ending this public health emergency ravaging our people. We stand in solidarity with survivors and grieving families. Congress must ACT NOW to pass popular and commonsense gun safety reforms to enforce the basic social contract.
News flash, Mr. President! We appreciate your candor in admitting you “love inflation” and don’t think about other Americans’ “financial situation,” but we hate inflation and can’t stand your illegal tariffs, taxes and wars. We’re sick of your economy for oligarchs!
It was a great pleasure addressing a bipartisan group of House and Senate interns on the Constitution and their own role in shaping the future of American democracy. These patriotic young people are helping make Congress and government work for all our people.
Most Americans agree with House Democrats: stop spending our tax dollars on ICE and Border Patrol’s lawless, violent campaign against our own people. But Trump’s enablers in the House want to send another round of billions to fund Trump’s reign of fear and violence.
