Howard County has made its stance clear: when it comes to ICE’s inhumane detention centers, the answer is no + hell no. Today, County Exec Calvin Ball signed emergency legislation revoking the building permit for a privately owned ICE detention facility whose owners attempted to subvert state law.

This Administration inherited a strong economy and is doing what they do best, running it into the ground.

The witch hunt for federal workers continues. The American people will suffer thanks to this Administration's callous treatment of the very people who make sure our seniors get their Social Security, that our food and water are safe, and more.

Today, we honor Rosa Parks on what would have been her 113th birthday. In refusing to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus, Ms. Parks propelled the Civil Rights movement forward. May her bravery continue to inspire us all to keep pushing for a nation with justice for all.

Journalists hold power accountable, and this is NOT the time for sweeping layoffs. When newsrooms like the Washington Post shrink, our democracy suffers. It’s hard to hold power to account when you’ve laid off hundreds of staffers.

As a former Prince George's County State’s Attorney, it was great to meet with State’s Attorneys from across Maryland alongside @vanhollen.senate.gov. We discussed supporting victims, the opioid crisis, online child safety, and addressing workforce challenges in prosecutors’ offices.

DOGE accessed Americans' private, sensitive information. We need the Trump Administration accountable for DOGE's reckless actions. There must be a full investigation into this Admin’s mishandling of Social Security data.

We are now watching preventable diseases return to kill Americans because a conspiracy theorist is calling the shots. RFK Jr. MUST go. www.thebulwark.com/p/measles-co...

Honored to join the Women’s Missionary Society of the AME Church for a powerful conversation on Black women in politics. “Power in Our Hands” reminds us our voices, votes, and leadership shape communities. Grateful to WMS for celebrating faith, purpose, and impact.

Progress doesn’t happen in isolation. It happens together. Honored to participate in this year’s Women’s Legislative Briefing Panel. Thank you to the Montgomery County Commission for Women for creating space for real conversation, empowerment, and engagement—especially in times like these.

Tonight, I voted NO on a package of bills that included a CR to add funding to DHS. I've made it clear that we cannot send another penny to ICE without serious reforms. Masked men are killing Americans and terrorizing our communities. The CR included no reforms. So I voted NO.

Today marks one year since the tragic DCA plane crash that took 67 lives, including the lives of Marylanders. We remember those we lost and stand with their families and loved ones.

He NEVER cared about affordability. At least he's finally saying the quiet part out loud.

I voted NO on the funding package that includes 10 BILLION dollars of funding for ICE. I meant it when I said 'Not another penny.' We must end the violence and intimidation that ICE has brought to our communities.

This is not complicated. ICE agents are killing Americans in the street. Republicans owe it to the American people to finally speak out against this Administration.

This President says he wants a Nobel Peace Prize. Do you see peace in our streets? I see federal agents killing Americans.

Of course Kristi Noem should be fired. Of course she should be impeached. Of course she should resign in disgrace. But also, she should have never had the job in the first place.

Why is there no money for your health care? Turn on the TV. That’s where your money went. Towards killing Americans.

I am a 'no' on the DHS funding bill. Not another penny for ICE. We cannot give more money to a group of cowards who are making our country less safe.

The remains of Ran Gvili, the last hostage held by Hamas, have been brought home at last. My prayers are with his family, and with all who have carried this grief for far too long. May his memory be a blessing.

Six cowardly ICE agents held down Alex Pretti and killed him. They killed one of our fellow Americans. This is Donald Trump’s America. The violence and intimidation ICE has brought to our communities must end now. And let me be clear: not a penny more for ICE.

Like many Marylanders, I am horrified by what this video appears to show. My team has demanded answers about these reported inhumane conditions. The content suggests yet another another instance of ICE's utter depravity. We cannot let another PENNY go to Donald Trump's ICE.

RFK Jr. fired all of this vaccine panel and replaced them with sycophants. Dangerous rhetoric and actions, under the leadership of RFK Jr., will literally kill our children. This is what happens when a full-blown conspiracy theorist is in charge of our nation's health.

It was great to start my day meeting community leaders, small business owners, and Mountain Marylanders at the Annual PACE breakfast. Thank you to everyone who came out to connect, share ideas, and talk about priorities for Allegany and Garrett Counties.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s legacy is enduring and his impact is woven into the fabric of this nation. We gathered today to celebrate his life and legacy and to lay a wreath in his honor.

The President has repeatedly called the affordability crisis a ‘hoax,’ but the truth is in the numbers. Costs have gone UP. This President lied when he promised to ‘bring down prices on day one.' Instead, he is wrecking our economy.

This resolution had bipartisan support last week. Then the President did what he always does — make threats and bully. Republicans ran scared. And now the bill is dead. Shameful. That is what happened here. All so this President can go to war whenever he feels like it.

Arlit Maria Martinez wanted to see her son, Kevin, who was dying of cancer. ICE chose to ignore her requests. Kevin passed away two days after Arlit was detained. This Administration keeps choosing cruelty over compassion. It's disgraceful.

Wishing my Sorors of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Incorporated a happy Founders Day! Now more than ever our commitment to social activism is needed, and I’m so proud to be in this fight with Deltas on Capitol Hill who have worked so hard on behalf of the American people.

At a time when Americans can’t afford to put food on the table, pay their rent, or afford health care, it is so sad to see this President spend taxpayer dollars on meaningless vanity projects, like naming public buildings after himself. Our legislation would stop it.

Happy Birthday to my friend and the best senior senator in the country, Senator Chris Van Hollen!

Middle school is one of the most important times in our lives – a time to truly discover who you are. I loved stopping by Woodlawn Middle School today. These students are preparing for lifetimes of success. I thank them for welcoming me!

I recommend that families don't listen to a single thing that comes out of RFK Jr.'s mouth. Listen to your doctor. Get your vaccines.

Venezuela is about money. It's a total smash and grab. As Americans get poorer, Trump stays focused on lining the pockets of billionaires.

I loved attending the 2026 Go-Go Awards, celebrating 50 years of Go-Go. I grew up on Go-Go music - part of the fabric of our DMV culture. I was proud to celebrate the woman who constantly celebrates others, a champion of Go-Go, the Queen of Media, Ms. Cathy Hughes!

There's a lot going on right now. Team Maryland will continue fighting for you. Join us tonight for a Telephone Town Hall!

Now this Administration is shooting unarmed mothers in their cars? Their cruelty knows no bounds. We need a full investigation immediately, and based on what I saw in the video — somebody must be brought to justice.

To summarize the legacy of accomplishments that my friend Congressman Steny Hoyer has achieved would require an entire novel — his impact on the people of Maryland’s fifth district — and people across this nation — over his storied career is as profound as it is enduring.

It's one of the WORST flu seasons on record, and what is our HHS Secretary doing? GUTTING access to the flu vaccine. How many children will have to die before RFK Jr. is fired? He is a danger to our children, our schools, and our nation. He must go.

I will always fight for our civil servants. The men and women who have dedicated their lives to serving our country - regardless of who is in the White House. Republican shutdowns hurt Marylanders. Congresswoman Elfreth and I will keep working to protect our federal workers.

Happy New Year, Maryland! After such a challenging year for our state, I pray this new year brings blessings, health, and joy for you and your families. I will keep fighting for you to not just get by but to truly thrive.

Hey Marylanders! My first year in the Senate has flown by - but I got right to work. Interested in reading more about the work we have accomplished together this year? Go to alsobrooks.senate.gov/annualreport2025 to learn more!

Wishing you a Joyous Kwanzaa, Maryland! May this week be filled with purpose, blessings, and joy.

Merry Christmas Maryland! I pray that you can celebrate with your families and loved ones today. Being your senator has been my greatest gift this year, and I thank you for your trust in me.

It should be a human right to have health care when you are sick – or when someone you love is sick.

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.
