Working with our state & local partners, Federal Team Maryland fought to secure 100% federal funding for the bridge's rebuilding, & we will not stop until the job is done.

Two years ago, we awoke to news of the Key Bridge’s collapse – a tragedy that took the lives of six people & threatened the livelihoods of everyone at the Port of Baltimore. Today especially, we honor the lives lost.
Out of this tragedy, we saw Maryland came together.

Today, Trump named his Council of Advisors on Science & Technology. If his ban on states regulating AI didn’t make it clear, Trump wants Big Tech billionaires in charge of writing their own rules for tech & AI.
Screw everyone else.
On Sunday, Defense Minister Katz said Israel would use the "Rafah" model in Lebanon.
Earlier this month, the Trump Admin rushed a sale of over 20,000 bombs to the Netanyahu gov.
Today, I asked the official who signed off on the transfer if it complies with US policy & intl law. He wouldn't answer.
Instead of needlessly stationing armed ICE agents at our airports, Republicans and Trump should just pay TSA. It's that simple.
And if Republicans would stop blocking us, we could fund TSA, FEMA, and more TODAY.
These guys are delusional. Spending $1 BILLION in taxpayer dollars to STOP clean energy production that lowers Americans' energy bills isn't SAVING anyone money. Instead, it's costing Americans now and in the long-run. What a waste.

In addition to the 13 American servicemembers who have been killed, Trump's war has resulted in the deaths of over 2,000 civilians in the region, including over 100 Iranian school kids.
All of them should be alive today.
To stop the killing we must end the war, NOW.
Let’s be clear: targeting civilian infrastructure is a war crime under international law.
The world has called out Russia for doing exactly this in Ukraine.
If Trump & Hegseth follow Putin's playbook, they must be held accountable.

Under guise of their so-called SAVE America Act, Trump & Republicans are trying to rig the midterm elections.
If this was really about ensuring all Americans can vote, they would agree to guarantee that all citizens get a free ID. But that’s not their plan.
I'll say it again: we could fully fund TSA, FEMA, the Coast Guard & other agencies within DHS TODAY. But Republicans keep blocking those efforts because they want a blank check for ICE & CBP.
Gas prices at one of my local stations in Maryland, today. All thanks to Donald Trump.
As Americans pay more at the pump, Trump lifted sanctions on both Russia & the Iranian regime so they will profit even more from higher oil prices caused by his war.
He may be a self-proclaimed “genius” but it doesn’t take one to see this isn’t in our interest. End the war, NOW.
While the Iran war rages on & prices keep rising, Republicans have decided to use this pivotal weekend to try to make it harder for millions of Americans to vote.
They're scared of running on their failed policies, so they want to rig the midterms in their favor.
Soon CBS, CNN, & TikTok will all be owned by Trump-megadonor Larry Ellison.
Trump's billionaire buddies are buying up more of our media & jeopardizing our independent press.
State Attorneys General have the power to stop this merger, they must act.

I will not vote for another dime for Trump's war.
This war is making us less safe. It's taken 13 American lives. Killed thousands of civilians. And is costing billions in taxpayer dollars.
The best way to protect our troops, save lives, & end this war is to cut off funding.
Last August, Trump Jr.'s fund invested in Vulcan Elements, a start-up valued at ~$200M. In December, Vulcan got a $620M taxpayer funded loan from the fed gov.
Now, Vulcan is worth ~$2 BILLION, ~10x what it was when Trump Jr.'s fund first invested.
Stinks to high heaven.
Republicans blocked our bill to fully fund TSA & their agents.
This is the 8th time they've blocked our attempts to reopen TSA, FEMA, & other agencies outside of ICE & CBP at DHS.
But they would rather hold these agencies hostage to give Trump's ICE & CBP another blank check.
This is insane.
Trump is spending $1 BILLION of your tax dollars to kill clean energy projects that would've lowered electric bills, because it helps Big Oil.
This will only help oil & gas companies & hurt working people who are already struggling to pay their bills.
$200 BILLION for a war of choice that Americans don't want and that isn't making us safer. This should be an absolute nonstarter.
The best way to end this war, protect our troops, save civilian lives, & rein in a lawless Administration is to cut off funding. I’m a hell no.
They're not focused on the "worst of the worst."
Trump's ICE agents in Texas just detained a DACA recipient who was on his way to deliver milk to his newborn daughter in the NICU.
Republicans still want us to write a blank check for this cruelty. Not another dime!
