Goddard Space Flight Center and its workforce of researchers and engineers are leaders in science. But this Admin has ripped apart NASA – ceding ground to global competitors. I will always fight for investments that keep America at the forefront of scientific discovery.

I filed legislation to repeal the unnecessary tax cuts on gun silencers and short-barreled rifles and use the money saved for Americans' health care. It’s a 2-for-1 response to Republicans driving up health care costs and letting guns invade our communities. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

America deserves leaders who fight for their constituents – regardless of their faith.   The freedom to worship how we choose is a bedrock of this country.   Any comments for a mass expulsion of American Muslims are reprehensible and must be condemned. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Congratulations to Joseline Peña-Melnyk on her election as Maryland’s new Speaker of the House of Delegates. I look forward to our work together as we strive to build a state where every Marylander can thrive.

I was honored to speak at the annual Minority Legislative Breakfast. I'm working tirelessly to fight for minority businesses in Maryland – finding more opportunities to grow businesses, create more jobs, attract capital, get tax relief, and fuel our economy.

I had a fantastic time celebrating with the Annapolis Chapter of the Links, Incorporated at its Annual Winter Wonderland Gala. We enjoyed an evening of fellowship, recognition, and charitable giving.

What a great way to ring in the holidays at the Baltimore Teachers Union Holiday Party! Our teachers are the very best of us – working tirelessly to educate the future leaders of our great state. That’s why I will always fight for our teachers.

I want to wish Marylanders a Happy Hanukkah. May this season be a source of strength and light that push back against the hatred in this world. Even on the darkest and coldest days, I pray that your faith and togetherness brings warmth.

I spoke to Build America's School Infrastructure Coalition (BASIC) about the importance of investing in education. I'm proud of my work as County Executive to break ground on 18 new schools, and I will keep working as your senator to fund our schools so our students can thrive.

It has never been more obvious that Republicans only care to fight for their billionaire friends. Even if it means Americans dying. Health care access saves lives. Now, starting on New Year’s Day, millions of Americans will lose their health coverage. Republicans don’t care!

I’m very proud to join the Senate Bipartisan Task Force for Combating Antisemitism. I will support legislative efforts to combat antisemitism and educate and empower our communities. It will take all of us, working together, to eliminate Antisemitic hatred from our communities.

Tomorrow, I will be voting to extend the ACA tax credits. Republicans have created an affordability crisis. And if they do not vote with us tomorrow, it will become even more painfully clear just how little they care.

I loved stopping by Mix + Mingle Coffee Lounge this morning to join Raymond Butler and the District 5 Coffee Club in Clinton for a conversation about our future. When we work together as neighbors – anything is possible. We will keep working to serve our community.

Everywhere I go in Maryland, I hear from people about the need for more affordable housing. Republicans killing the ROAD to Housing Act – which would provide financial relief and opportunities for home ownership – proves that Republicans don't care to lower the cost of housing.

I joined the Baltimore Regional Housing Partnership for a discussion about housing in our state. No matter where I go – everyone is concerned about affordable housing. That's why I'm working to make home ownership a reality for more Marylanders and to lower the cost of rent.

I loved joining the Committee for Montgomery’s 37th Annual Legislative Breakfast this morning! Sen. Van Hollen, Rep. McClain Delaney, and I had a fruitful discussion about the vision for Montgomery County’s future and how we can work to respond to local needs.

RFK Jr. and his sycophants are risking children's lives all to satisfy their own cockamamie conspiracy theories. The federal government is supposed to improve our lives, not kill us. This is the most dangerous in a long string of actions by RFK Jr. He must be fired or resign.

It feels like we’ve taken a time machine back to when health care in America isn’t just more expensive, but it is completely out of reach for millions of Americans. I am not willing to go back to a time when a family member’s cancer diagnosis is a sentence for bankruptcy.

It was a pleasure to attend the Jewish Community Relations Council 2025 Legislative Breakfast. I'm proud to be a partner to the Jewish community. And I remain forever grateful for our friendship. Together, we will keep striving for justice, safety, democracy, and peace.

I was honored to attend the inauguration ceremony for Annapolis Mayor Jared Littmann and the incoming Annapolis City Council. This inauguration marks a new chapter for the great city of Annapolis, and I am looking forward to working closely with Mayor Littmann.

Happy Thanksgiving Maryland! As I am counting my blessings today, I want to thank you for allowing me to serve as your Senator. I will continue to fight for you and your families. I pray your day is full of family, love, and gratitude.

I am praying for the two National Guardsmen shot today near the White House, as well as their families and loved ones. This violence has no place in our country. I am grateful for the first responders and their swift action.

This Thanksgiving, I am so grateful for the trust, support, and fight of Marylanders. I was honored to spend time today at Second Baptist Church Southwest alongside Hustle Mommies, Kevin Ford Jr., and Viola's House in giving back to our community.

I am so grateful to have spent time today with Food & Friends, helping to deliver meals to families with life-challenging illnesses. In this season of gratitude, we must all practice giving back to our neighbors. When we lift each other up, our entire community will benefit.

I am a former prosecutor, and I spent over 13 years in a courtroom. It is time that the victims of Jeffrey Epstein get the justice they deserve. Release the Epstein Files NOW.

I was the first Senator to call on RFK Jr. to resign or be fired. This is a man who has no background in science or medicine, and his dangerous actions and rhetoric will cause children to die.

I was honored to celebrate 10 amazing years of Black Girls Vote! Every Black girl has a story. Thank you Black Girls Vote for telling those stories and inspiring future generations.

Tune in! I’ll be live on Fox 5’s On The Hill at 8:45!

Proud to host another successful and informative Internet and Utilities Services Fair. During these challenging times, my team and I are committed to making sure Marylanders get the support they need.

Look, this isn’t personal. I don’t know RFK Jr. But I do know he’s incompetent and entirely unfit to be leading our nation’s health. RFK Jr. is dangerous for America. He must resign or be fired.

Let me tell you this: the girls of Girl Scout Troop 22107 came ready for our meeting today! Full of ideas, excitement, confidence, and poise – I know these Girl Scouts are bound to do spectacular things, and I thank them for all they do for our community.

Marriage, divorce, adoption, and changing jobs are considered qualifying life events that trigger a special enrollment period for your health care. Becoming pregnant is not considered a qualifying event. The Healthy MOM Act - which I just introduced today - would change that.

It was such a joy to meet with Maryland high schoolers. These students came from all across our great state to discuss critical legislation and how I can best represent them. I reminded them they are our future. Their voices matter.

How much did this vanity project cost taxpayers? I introduced a bill that would require every dollar spent on this name change to come out of Secretary Hegseth's travel budget.

Thank you to everyone who joined last night’s Utilities and Internet Services Fair! Join us next week in Montgomery County for another Utilities and Internet Services Fair for more information and guidance about utility concerns. RSVP here: bit.ly/MoCoUIFair2025

This Veterans Day, join me in honoring our veterans here in Maryland and across our great country. Today, we take a moment to truly thank those who risked their lives in service to our country. Our freedoms and safety are only possible because of their service.

It was a joy to join State Senator Nick Charles, Special Secretary Yolanda Maria Martinez, and the Prince George’s Chamber of Commerce for a Fireside Chat to discuss how I'm fighting for our small businesses.

I'm forever grateful for those who broke barriers so I can be where I am today. Speaker Pelosi is one of those people. A fierce fighter for San Francisco and our nation-and ever a daughter of Baltimore-Speaker Pelosi showed us that we have power and a responsibility to use it.

The Trump Administration needs to follow the law and fund SNAP. Immediately.

Marylanders - join us at our Utilities and Internet Services Fair next Thursday for information and guidance about utility concerns. RSVP here: bit.ly/UIFair2025

This Republican shutdown is the longest government shutdown in our nation's history. And Republicans would rather keep it shut down than ensure affordable health care. It is so shameful.

Republicans can fully fund SNAP, but are choosing to only fund it partially. 1 in 8 Americans rely on SNAP. But Republicans care more about the 1 in 299,560 Americans that are billionaires.

Thank you Howard County for joining Rep. Elfreth, Attorney General Brown, Comptroller Lierman, and me for our town hall. Marylanders are sick of this Administration’s cruelty and clear inability to govern. We will continue to fight back and stand strong for Maryland values.

Great to meet with Charles County leadership to hear more on their priorities on how they plan to continue moving the county forward. I was proud to partner with local leaders and direct federal funding for SMRT and their CSM aviation program.

It’s a sad day when a judge has to order the President of the United States to feed vulnerable families and hungry children with funds already designated for that very purpose.

Honored to join Pastor Jenkins and other faith leaders for the Master Series of Distinguished Clergy at First Baptist Church of Glenarden. Together, we will continue the fight for a just future — a future where we can all live safely, with dignity, and thrive.
