Happy Easter to all in #MD02. May you enjoy a celebratory day filled with love and blessings!

Easter is a day for peace and reflection. The rhetoric from President Trump is beyond unacceptable any day, but it’s especially so today. The President’s words do not reflect the lessons and values of Jesus, and they should be rejected by all in the Christian faith.

We need to make presidents think twice before issuing egregious pardons. My bipartisan constitutional amendment would do just that by allowing Congress to review presidential pardons. Let's get it done.

As Baltimore County Executive, I made it a point to pay our teachers more than $60,000 annually — years before the requirements of Blueprint required it. It was part of the historic funding we put in place for Baltimore County Public Schools. www.baltimoresun.com/2026/03/30/b...

This was a deliberate choice.

Was proud to stand today with patriotic constituents to say: NO KINGS! In America, power doesn’t belong to one person. It belongs to the people. 🇺🇸

The Senate already UNANIMOUSLY passed a bill to fund TSA and end the chaos at our airports.  Democrats are ready to pass it in the House. House Republicans would rather continue their shutdown so they can give more money to ICE than listen to Americans' needs.

Sadly, it appears the MAGA Mike Johnson shutdown will continue.

I had this scam sent to me, too. Here’s what you should be on the lookout to avoid:

Just signed the @housedemocrats.bsky.social discharge petition to pay TSA agents, support FEMA, and fund the Coast Guard & cybersecurity professionals—all without another penny for ICE in the absence of reform. Every member of Congress should join this commonsense effort.

Billions for bombs, nothing for basics.

But we can’t find the money to feed veterans, children and seniors. SMH.

Americans are fed up with how ICE operates. It's why I joined Maryland leaders to conduct oversight of the Baltimore ICE facility—demanding accountability for lawless operations and inhumane detention conditions. ICE cannot receive another penny without significant reforms.

🚨⬇️ This needs more attention ⬇️🚨 There are reports of a draft executive order for Trump to take control of elections by declaring a national emergency. This potential attempt to interfere with free & fair elections should be seen as a serious threat.

#MD02: I want to hear from you! 📢 Join me for an in-person town hall in Randallstown on Tuesday, March 10 at 6:30 PM to discuss how I’m fighting for Marylanders in Congress. Register at tinyurl.com/TownHallMD02 or tune in live at olszewski.house.gov/live if you can’t attend in person!

Before coming to Congress, I authored Maryland’s EARN program, helping 11K residents land jobs. And now, my Connecting Small Businesses with CTE Graduates Act, co-led by Rep. Roger Williams, has passed the House. As #CTEMonth wraps, I urge the Senate to take our bill up for a vote.

There is no emergency. And the Constitution clearly gives authority over elections to state and local governments.

None of this is okay: it was wrong for President Biden and Merrick Garland to have withheld these files from release, but now it’s likely President Trump and Pam Bondi are actively violating the law that requires their release — a law signed by Trump. www.npr.org/2026/02/24/n...

It’s past time we stop letting the rich and the powerful get away with things the average American cannot. It’s time we get back to truly honoring the Rule of Law in the United States.

In a CNN interview today tied to the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, @repjohnnyo.bsky.social of Maryland made a striking claim: that the full scope of the Epstein network — if ever fully disclosed — could represent a scandal larger than Watergate.

The elites, the wealthy and the well connected are getting off while the rest of us are being left behind. It’s time we change that.

On Presidents Day, we’re reminded: no president is above the law. Proud to have Rep. Don Bacon join this bipartisan effort — because safeguarding democracy shouldn't be partisan. When pardons are abused to protect criminals and political allies, Congress has a duty to act.

At this point, I believe the #EpsteinFiles crimes and subsequent cover-up will make Watergate seem like a minor hiccup.

I reviewed the unredacted Epstein files at the DOJ. They were disturbing, and I have even more questions. The public deserves to know who was involved in these horrific crimes, as the law requires. And what is in the 3 MILLION documents that remain sealed, even from lawmakers?

The racist post that was on President Trump’s account is completely unacceptable. I find it hard to believe, but if it came via a staff member, taking it down isn’t enough. It demands an apology from the President and that the staffer be fired.

Trump gets billions while American taxpayers suffer. That’s just year one.

It does make you question who might be in the other half of the files 🧐 *Everyone* connected to Epstein’s heinous crimes must be held accountable.

Most Presidents voluntarily release their tax returns. No President should be able to force a multi-billion dollar payday from the government they run for the purpose of self-enrichment. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/30/u...

Absolutely shameful and abhorrent, Lindsey Graham. You are fighting to enshrine corruption into law so you can line your pockets with cash, willing to risk a government shutdown to do so. Senate shutdown deal hits a Lindsey Graham snag www.politico.com/live-updates... via @politico.com

If she won’t resign and Trump won’t fire her, Congress must act. It's time for Secretary Noem to go.

I'll be voting “NO” on ICE funding.

One year of Trump: costs are up & families are hurting.

It’s been a year since Trump has taken office. Costs are up across health care, energy, and groceries.

Deeply unhinged, petty & embarrassing. Trump is turning the US into a pariah & doing real, lasting damage to the NATO alliance and our global partnerships—all based on personal grievance. Republicans must stop enabling this wannabe king and join Democrats to put a check on him before it’s too late.

Today, we honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., whose dream of a more just and equitable nation continues to inspire us all. Let us recommit to rising above our differences and making Dr. King’s dream a reality. #MLKDay

The Key Bridge rebuild must be treated for what it is: the most important infrastructure project in Maryland.

Seems low TBH.

🚨 Trump and Rubio owe Americans answers on Venezuela: Who’s in charge? Who’s paying? What’s next?

🚨 Huge win for millions of Americans: The House finally took action to extend ACA tax credits—keeping healthcare affordable for Marylanders and families nationwide. Proud to vote YES and will keep fighting to lower costs for everyone.

Here’s one President Trump forgot: the American people can stop him. “My own morality. My own mind. It’s the only thing that can stop me,” Mr. Trump said during a lengthy conversation with the Times reporters. A deeply disturbing perspective for a POTUS. www.nytimes.com/live/2026/01...

A bipartisan majority in the House is ready to vote on a clean, 3-year extension of Affordable Care Act tax credits — relief more than 1 million Marylanders rely on to afford health care. Instead, Speaker Johnson canceled ALL legislative business tomorrow to block that vote.

Unchecked power corrodes our democracy. It's time to rein in the presidential pardon power—from all presidents—and restore trust in our institutions. Read my full @thehill.com op-ed here: thehill.com/opinion/whit...

For lower costs. For decency. For democracy. The fight continues, which is why I am seeking re-election to Congress.

Wishing the happiest of birthdays to this rockstar wife, mom, daughter, friend, environmental champion and more! I think she finally turns 30 today! We love you Marisa, happy birthday 🎉

🚨 BREAKING: Trump just pardoned a Baltimore drug kingpin who trafficked a metric ton of cocaine into our community—making us less safe. This is exactly why I introduced the Pardon Integrity Act: to bring oversight to a pardon system that’s been abused for far too long.

🚨 It’s official — I am seeking re-election to the US Congress to continue the fight to lower costs while promoting decency and democracy. www.baltimoresun.com/2025/12/09/r...

I am introducing a constitutional amendment – the Pardon Integrity Act – that would grant Congress the authority to reject outrageous pardons and commutations put forth by a President.

I am lucky to know Speaker Jones as a friend and mentor who took me under her wing as a young legislator. Maryland is undoubtedly a better place because of her.

I am exploring reasonable, constitutional limits on the presidential pardon power.

An important reminder of why we must continue to demand urgency in quickly rebuilding the Key Bridge in Baltimore: marylandmatters.org/2025/11/30/m...
