If the only “qualified” candidates are the ones who align with RFK Jr.’s anti-vaccine agenda, we're in big trouble. Science should lead the CDC — not misinformation and yes men.

Happy Maryland Day! I’m proud to stand with Senator Chris Van Hollen and the people who make our state the best in the nation. We stand united by our shared commitment to freedom, opportunity, and a brighter future for all.

Social Action is at the heart of Delta Sigma Theta, and I was proud to come together for the Delta Days Breakfast to strategize as our nation grapples with real challenges. As Deltas, we know defending our democracy takes courage, and we must keep pushing back against efforts like the SAVE Act.

It’s been my honor to participate in the 37th Annual Delta Days in the Nation’s Capital with my sisters of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority, Inc. One Delta. One Mission. One Strategy. United in the fight to protect our democracy and deliver for our communities.

Both Kristi Noem and Markwayne Mullin share the one qualification Republicans value most: loyalty to the President over the law. Mullin would continue the same failures. That’s why I voted no — and why I won’t support another penny for ICE without real reform.

At DHS, Kristi Noem advanced an agenda rooted in political loyalty to this Administration — separating families, undermining fundamental rights, and making our communities less safe. Markwayne Mullin would repeat those same failures. I'm an absolute NO on his confirmation.

Today, Republicans once again blocked another attempt to fund TSA.

Americans can’t afford groceries, gas, energy bills, or rent and this is what they’re focused on? The SAVE Act isn’t about saving anything. It’s about taking your vote. I am voting NO.

TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard aren't getting paid because Republicans have refused to fund them. Full stop. Democrats have made MULTIPLE attempts to approve funding, and Republicans have rejected them. Every. Single. Time.

Eid Mubarak! May this special day of Eid al-Fitr be filled with peace, joy, and moments that bring you closer to those you love. Wishing you continued blessings for the year ahead.

The law already requires identification to vote. The SAVE Act goes further — demanding documents that millions of Marylanders don’t have, including married women who changed their last name and those without passports. This isn’t a mistake — it’s the strategy to shut voters out.

Celebrating Women's History Month with H3R! Investing in women and girls is how we build the future. From financial literacy to digital access and emerging markets, when women rise, our entire economy grows. Proud to support the next generation of leaders and wealth builders.

Earlier this month, I voted for @kaine.senate.gov's War Powers Resolution to end the President’s war with Iran. Tonight, I voted for @booker.senate.gov's War Powers Resolution to end the President’s war with Iran. There is neither a rationale nor a strategy for this war.

I toured the Kent County EMS HQ and met the dedicated professionals who serve our community around the clock. With new federal funding for a backup generator, their lifesaving work can continue without disruption, no matter what. Our first responders deserve nothing less.

A year after this administration shut them down, VOA workers are back. A victory for the freedom of the press and democratic values. Independent journalism is essential and worth fighting for.

This war isn’t being paid for by the people who started it. It’s hardworking Americans who are already paying more at the pump, the grocery store, and for health care.

The SAVE Act does one thing: make voting harder. More paperwork, more costs, and more people wrongly kicked off the rolls. This is not election integrity — it's voter suppression. That's why I'm a NO.

Replacing ACIP scientists with conspiracy theorists and issuing a dangerous vaccine schedule was never going to hold up. Today a federal judge proved it. Vaccine policy must be guided by science.

I was thrilled to host a women’s business roundtable alongside the Maryland Women’s Business Center and the Frederick County Office of Economic Development to engage with women business leaders and owners in celebration of Women’s History Month.

I have declared a State of Preparedness ahead of significant risk for widespread, severe storms and a heightened tornado threat across the state tomorrow, with the Department of Emergency Management coordinating readiness efforts across state government.

I want so much more for this country and for future generations — economic opportunity and pathways to wealth, affordable health care, streets free from taxpayer-funded masked goon squads, just to name a few. We won’t get there while the Cabinet and the White House are the punchline of SNL jokes.

My parents bought their first home in their 20s. My dad was a car salesman. My mom was a receptionist. Today, the average first-time homeowner is nearly 40. That’s not progress. And it’s why I fought to pass the bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act.

My heart is with the Temple Israel community in Michigan. Every person deserves to pray in peace and safety. I’m relieved the children, staff, and congregants are safe. We must stand with our Jewish neighbors and speak out clearly and forcefully against antisemitism and hate.

Society is judged by its treatment of children. I spoke at the National Network for Youth Congressional Briefing about my Bipartisan Homeless Children and Youth Act with Senator Katie Britt. Every young person deserves a safe place to lay their head at night. We will keep fighting.

It's not just the personnel, it's the policies. Markwayne Mullin has the same policy that Kristi Noem had — say ‘yes’ to this President, even as masked men are killing Americans in the streets. I will be voting no.

This was my second visit to the ICE facility in Baltimore. Each time, it made the hair stand up on my arms. The conditions are inhumane, and the treatment of people is unacceptable. Instead of lowering gas prices, this Administration chooses to spend its time on this CRUELTY.

Today I visited an ICE holding facility in Baltimore. What I saw was disturbing. This Administration is showing a level of inhumanity we should never accept.

I had a great conversation with my friend Lupita Nyong’o this International Women’s Day about why raising awareness and improving care for uterine fibroids is so important for millions of women.

Tune in to MS NOW. On International Women’s Day, Lupita Nyong'o and I are discussing the need for better screening, early detection, and access to care for people with uterine fibroids.

Excited to be talking with my friend and fierce advocate Lupita Nyong'o about expanding screening, detection, and intervention for people with uterine fibroids. Tune in tomorrow morning during the 8 AM ET hour on @ms.now.

Trump’s economy is failing.

Met with Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) owners to discuss the challenges facing small and minority-owned businesses. Maryland has the most DBEs in the nation, and I’m fighting to reauthorize the DBE Program so these businesses can compete, grow, and keep building our infrastructure.

Great conversation with the Milken Institute on the future of finance. From digital assets to small business investment and housing, we must build pathways to wealth and ensure innovation creates opportunity for Maryland families.

Tonight, I voted to end this costly war.

The President has chosen to pursue a senseless war that the American people will foot the bill for. In more ways than one...

Wishing all who celebrate a joyful Purim. May it be filled with laughter, generosity, and time with those you love. Chag Purim Sameach!

This Women’s History Month, we honor generations of women whose strength and perseverance have shaped our country’s story. Their courage broke barriers, expanded opportunity, and paved the way for the progress we continue to build on today.

I was proud to visit Barclay with @vanhollen.senate.gov and stand alongside local leaders and community members. Federal funding we worked to secure will support the construction of a new community center and town hall, expanding access to information and services for residents.

My heart breaks for these brave service members and their families. Those who put their lives on the line for this country represent the very best of us. I am lifting them in prayer.

Proud to celebrate 100 years of Black History Month at Congressman Steny Hoyer’s 47th Black History Month Breakfast in Prince George’s County. His allyship and leadership across his decades of service have made our state and our country stronger and more united.

Today, the President launched a war with Iran. Here's my statement:

Joined leaders at the Federal City Council to discuss protecting DC’s autonomy while strengthening Maryland’s economy and our shared region. From WMATA to Union Station, we need smart federal partnerships that support Maryland families and deliver for the entire DMV.

Heart disease is the leading cause of death for women in Maryland and across the country. That's why I'm partnering with Senator Katie Britt on legislation to expand access to life-saving heart health screenings.

The Surgeon General's job is to warn people about harm, not to cash checks from the companies that cause it.

I met with towing and roadside professionals who keep our roads safe. As we work on transportation reauthorization, I’m focused on safety and accountability.

Feeling the love! Grateful for another year and all the birthday wishes the last few days. A big thank you for the kind messages, and a special shoutout to my amazing team for the surprise celebration.

Deamonte Driver, a 12-year-old Marylander, died from a preventable tooth infection. His story moved Sen. Cardin to fight for dental access. 19 years later, I’m continuing that work—let’s pass my Medicare & Medicaid Dental, Vision, and Hearing Benefit Act.

I will not be attending tonight’s State of the Union address. Our country has been thrust into an accountability and affordability crisis through the cruelty, lawlessness, and greed of this President and his Administration. I will not dignify his actions with my presence.

This Admin is trying to silence experts for telling the truth: Americans are paying the price for tariffs. I’m leading colleagues in demanding the White House stop bullying non-partisan researchers for reporting data that doesn’t fit their narrative.

Honored to celebrate the grand opening of the High Ridge Center, a historic space bringing all Divine 9 organizations together under one roof. This is more than a building, it’s a hub for service, fellowship, and community, and a model for the nation on what collaboration looks like.
