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...

In a sad display of blatant racism, the DOJ is recommending only ONE day in prison as punishment for Brett Hankison—one of the detectives involved in the tragic and senseless killing of innocent Breonna Taylor, shot dead in cold-blood in her home in 2020, as the result of a bad no "knock warrant."

In honor of the late Jordan McNair, a freshman on the U of Maryland football team who collapsed from heatstroke during practice in 2018, I reintroduced the Jordan McNair Student Athlete Heat Fatality Prevention Act along with @alsobrooks.senate.gov, & with the support of @vanhollen.senate.gov.

(1/3) Thanks to @mayorbmscott.bsky.social's leadership and the hard work of the City's Police Department, #Baltimore is in the midst of a public safety transformation and continues to make real progress in building trust and improving neighborhood safety.

Happy Independence Day—where we celebrate the birth of our nation! Let us march forward in the fight to uphold our nation’s fundamental values of justice, equality, and opportunity. #4thofJuly #IndependenceDay #July4th #FourthofJuly #HappyFourth

After over 24 hours straight, @housedemocrats.bsky.social pulled out all the stops to fight back against the One Big, Ugly Budget Bill because it will:   ❌Strip 17 million people off of their healthcare;

People will die because of the all-out Republican assault on healthcare in America. The House Floor is now a crime scene.

Rob Roblin was one of the friendliest persons I've ever known. He bore no judgement or ill will towards anyone. He loved his work and people loved him. We will miss his example of human caring. #RestInPeace #WBALTV11 #InLovingMemory

It was superb to welcome Johns Hopkins University to Washington, D.C. for Hopkins on the Hill—where representatives from the institution showcased the many exceptional ways their research helps America.

(1/2) Had a valuable conversation with Commander Vance Scott—a proud Baltimorean who is one of just three African American active-duty commanding officers in the U.S. Navy submarine force.

MAGA Republicans have managed to conjure up their own alternative Constitution to accommodate their backwards agenda for our country. But our constitution is crystal clear, and this is a very simple issue: if you are born in America, you are an American citizen. #SCOTUS

(1/2) Earlier this morning, I was briefed by Secretary of State Rubio, Defense Secretary Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Caine, and CIA Director Ratcliffe on the American strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and on general security issues in the Middle East.

The only reason Trump and the DOJ are targeting federal judges in Maryland is because they refuse to bow down to his regime. The Trump Administration’s unprecedented actions are an egregious assault on separation of powers and the rule of law. 🔗 www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

By not consulting Congress before taking unilateral military action Donald Trump has once again failed to abide by the Constitution. He promised to bring peace to the Middle East. He is falling short on that promise.

(1/2) Celebrated #Juneteenth this year with the Powell Recovery Center—one of Baltimore’s leading alcohol and drug treatment centers.

(1/2) #OTD, 160 years ago, the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas, were finally freed. I was an original cosponsor of the legislation to make this day, #Juneteenth, a federal holiday—and spoke on the House floor in 2021 to champion its passage.

(1/2) Parren Mitchell, my political mentor and predecessor representing Maryland’s 7th Congressional District, was a native son of #Baltimore whose courage and leadership opened doors that many of us now walk through. 📸 Photo credit: Laura Patterson/CQ Roll Call

Recently, I stopped by the Fired Feds sit-in on the steps of the U.S. Capitol to reaffirm my support for hardworking public servants unjustly fired.   We will fight through this together.   #StandwithFederalWorkers #FiredFeds #FiredButNotSilent #FedsForThePeople

Happy Father’s Day!   It is the joy of my life to be a father and a grandfather.   Let us give thanks to all the fathers and father figures who are around us and in our lives day in and day out.    #FathersDay #HappyFathersDay #ThankYouDads #Fatherhood

(1/2) My prayers are with the families and loved ones of Minnesota State Rep. Melissa Hortman and her husband, Mark, as well as State Sen. John Hoffman and his wife Yvette during this trying time.

(1/3) Grateful to have had the chance to say a few words at the Closing Reception for the “From Root to Sky” Art & Literary Exhibition presented by Tribe 55+.

Enjoyed a remarkable evening at the Olney Theatre Center to honor André De Shields who put on a special gala performance. All in attendance celebrated André, his legacy and his Broadway and performing arts impact – while rejoicing in this proud son of #Baltimore! #StandingOvation #OneNightOnly

(1/2) In a region of the Middle East that has seen so much bloodshed, I urge President Trump and Secretary of State Rubio to work with great dispatch to prevent any further escalation between Israel and the un-Democratic regime in Iran which must not be allowed to develop nuclear capability.

To Trump, checks and balances of government means handcuffing a sitting United States Senator for asking a question at a press conference.   This is outrageous, and I demand an investigation into the detainment of @padilla.senate.gov.

What we are seeing today, we have seen before. @repkweisimfume.bsky.social draws on his own experiences to stand up to the inhumane policies of the Trump Administration.
