Tonight I voted against the Republican bill to deny health care subsidies to 20 million Americans. I will not vote for a bill that fails to lower health care costs and does nothing to make groceries and electric bills more affordable for working families.

In honor of Veterans Day, I had the privilege of joining @mayorbmscott.bsky.social at Baltimore's Veterans Day Parade.

Any agreement to go forward without addressing skyrocketing health care premiums and the high cost of groceries and home electricity is no deal at all. Where is Monty Hall when we need him? www.politico.com/news/2025/11...

The historic Public School 103 in Baltimore taught so many who went on to play pivotal roles in shaping our nation, like Justice Thurgood Marshall, Cab Calloway, and Clarence Mitchell Jr.

I extend my sincere condolences to the loved ones of Mr. Herbert Brown. For more than 101 years, Herbert lived an exceptional life; he served in WW2, owned Maryland's 1st Black-owned full-service travel agency, and was one of Baltimore's political "Godfathers." May he rest in peace. #Baltimore #RIP

Once again the Courts have ruled against Donald Trump and his MAGA administration. Millions of hungry Americans will not be forced to go without food and their #SNAP benefits.

I joined @mayorbmscott.bsky.social , @repjohnnyo.bsky.social and Councilman Bullock yesterday as the Mayor announced $4.6 million in emergency funding to support Baltimore's families and over 12,000 federal workers who call Baltimore home.

Kudos to Buzz Grambo for his service to our nation and for his unselfish dedication to working in his community as a modern day Paul Revere, calling out danger where he sees it.

Today, friends and loved ones in Baltimore gathered to celebrate the life of Wes Hensen—our beloved @baltimoreravens.bsky.social super-fan known as “Captain Dee-Fense.”

Information on the websites of federal agencies or sent via email should be neutral and factual. I have introduced an official Resolution of Inquiry demanding answers as to why false, partisan messages are being posted on agency websites.

Recently, I was honored to join others from across Baltimore at the Karson Institute for Race, Peace & Social Justice’s fifth anniversary celebration at Loyola University Maryland.

Today, millions of Americans are coming together across the country to reclaim our democracy. I stood with community members at the #NoKings rally in Dundalk because true democracy belongs to the people.

This newly announced pause of preapproved funding for the Army Corps of Engineers projects in blue cities - including Baltimore - is another example of the Trump Administration placing partisan politics over the welfare of the American people.

Today's federal court decision to temporarily halt Trump's illegal firing of federal employees was a decisive victory for not only our nation's hardworking civil servants, but for democracy.

Kudos to the @baltimorepolice.bsky.social, Commissioner Worley, and his great set of detectives for arresting suspects in a string of 21 murders and shootings. Working along side community and other law enforcement partners, our neighborhoods are becoming safer!

Federal workers and contractors are regular, hard-working Americans who have bills to pay and financial obligations to meet.

Congratulations to all involved in succeeding to broker the ceasefire agreement and the return of the remaining hostages. As a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee we will work with all parties involved to build a lasting peace, both in Israel & in Gaza.

It's a shame that, over a week into this MAGA shutdown, we are standing here at BWI Thurgood Marshall Airport (BWI) in protest because Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to allow the House of Representatives to meet to do the people’s work.

On this solemn two-year anniversary of the horrific terrorist attacks in Israel perpetuated by Hamas, we continue to mourn the loss of innocent lives on both sides of the war.

Last week, I requested to have my federal pay withheld until after the government shutdown has ended. I continue to stand with the thousands of federal government employees who are being forced to work without pay. #CancelTheCuts #LowerTheCosts #SaveHealthcare #Maryland #Baltimore #Congress

With full control of the House, the Senate, and the White House, this shutdown falls solely on the shoulders of Trump and MAGA Republicans, who refuse to protect Americans' health care. Watch my remarks by clicking the link below. 👇🏾 www.facebook.com/share/v/1DMN...

Thousands of hard-working federal employees in Maryland's 7th Congressional District woke up this morning to learn whether they were furloughed or required to work without pay. This shutdown was entirely avoidable.

House Republicans didn't show up to work today. Their absence makes it clear that they would rather shut down the government than address the health care crisis they have inflicted on our communities. #CancelTheCuts #LowerTheCosts #SaveHealthcare

With government funding set to expire tonight at midnight, Democrats are on Capitol Hill and still ready to reach a bipartisan agreement that keeps the government open and lowers the costs for healthcare.

The 2025 #CongressionalAppChallenge📱 is underway! My office is accepting app challenge entries until October 30, 2025.

Today, I join the Jewish community in celebrating Rosh Hashanah, or, the Jewish New Year. May this season of reflection and renewal be filled with peace and blessings. #RoshHashanah #Peace #Unity

#ICYMI DC Mayor Bowser has a tough job— and one of her arms have been tied behind her back with the Trump Administration deliberately overstepping its authority to sow division.

Political violence is vile, wicked, and destructive to the core of our democracy. And yet, two things can be true at once— I stand against all forms of violence by sick, evil, and demented people while at the same time rejecting Charlie Kirk’s selectively harmful and divisive rhetoric.

Dr. Earl S. Richardson was a transformative leader and stalwart in the fight to insure a college opportunity for all students. He helped to lead and direct the legal fight to insure equal funding for Maryland's public colleges and universities.

My prayers go out tonight for Charlie Kirk's wife and children. Political violence and murder must never be given safe haven. We can and must be better than this.

Today, I introduced the Affordable Inhalers and Nebulizers Act, alongside Senator Alsobrooks, to make life-saving #asthma and #COPD medications more accessible and affordable for all Americans.

Investments in #stemcell🔬therapeutics and research increases the possibility of unlocking medical breakthroughs in treating conditions like Alzheimer's, cancer, heart disease, and more.

🚨Today, I sent a letter with @repjohnnyo.bsky.social urging Trump to reconsider the proposed deployment of federal troops to Baltimore. The reality is—Baltimore is the safest it has ever been in over 50 years.

Earlier today, I spent 2.5 hours meeting with survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's abuse. Most of the victims were exploited at 13, 14 and 15 years of age, deceived by promises of a college education, a job, or threats of harm to their family members.

Ensuring that all Americans can afford the current #CostOfLiving must remain at the very top of our priority list. The challenges that we face are daunting – from stagnant wages & soaring #housing prices to unaffordable #healthcare & rising #grocery costs – but they are far from insurmountable.

Today marks the 62nd anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington, where a quarter of a million people rallied for economic justice and civil rights.

Unfortunately, but unsurprisingly, Trump's actions have put Americans’ right to privacy at risk again. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Postal theft remains a persistent and deeply concerning issue, and during my Oversight Subcommittee on Government Operations hearing, my objective was to gain a deeper understanding of the firsthand experiences shared by those directly involved in investigating & securing our nation's #mail system.

Today’s Supreme Court decision allowing the administration to strip away millions in National Institute of Health (NIH) funding for diversity-related research grants is a direct threat to our nation’s health.

The National Museum of African American History and Culture serves not only as a candid depiction of history but also as an accurate representation of the triumphs and tribulations Black Americans have endured. Black history is American history.

RFK, Jr. isn’t making America healthy again — he’s making it sicker. In just months as HHS Secretary, he’s gutted lifesaving programs, stacked vaccine skeptics on critical committees, and mismanaged the worst measles outbreak in 30+ years.

(1/2) For more than four decades, neighbors, families, and law enforcement have come together at #NationalNightOut, strengthening trust and forging bonds that keep our communities safe.

Today, on the 105th birthday of the late Henrietta Lacks, we honor her extraordinary legacy and immortal #HeLa cells that transformed medical research and continue to save countless lives.

(1/3) Today, we celebrate 296 years of rich history, vibrant culture, and an indomitable spirit that makes Baltimore truly one of a kind.

Donald Trump and his Administration keep moving the goalposts on oversight. ICE’s refusal to allow Members of Congress to enter a holding facility for the purposes of conducting oversight is a violation of federal law and a direct attack on our constitutional duty. No agency is above the law.

(1/3) 🚨 I along with Members of the Maryland Congressional delegation were just denied entry into the Baltimore ICE holding facility — despite having full legal authority. 🔗https://www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/news/maryland-ice-immigration-detention-facility-conditions/

(1/3) Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting with youth from the @bgcaclubs.bsky.social of Metropolitan Baltimore. We had an important conversation about how their clubs help shape #YoungLeaders through civic engagement, out-of-school programs, and career readiness.

Congressman William Lacy “Bill” Clay, Sr. was a dear friend and colleague who was a principled, tireless advocate for civil rights, economic justice, and served his constituents and Nation well.

(1/2) Nelson Mandela was a fearless visionary and an unwavering champion of justice who had the moral courage to fight for a world rooted in equity and unity. Today and throughout the weekend, we honor his enduring legacy and the profound impact of his life’s work...
