Today, I spoke out against proposed Trump administration rules that would further restrict access to medically necessary gender-affirming care. These proposals would block federal health coverage, penalize providers, and weaken disability protections—putting politics over patients.

Today I announced the sentencing of a former caregiver who was convicted of abusing a vulnerable adult in her care. No one who depends on a caretaker should ever face harm. Our office will continue to protect vulnerable Marylanders and hold abusers accountable.

Last week, a Baltimore County jury found a former insurance agent guilty of misappropriating $36,500 from a client and then trying to cover it up by writing a fake letter and pasting the client’s signature onto it to make it look like he approved the payment.

Today I launched Phase 2 of Operation Robocall Roundup, expanding our crackdown on illegal robocalls to four major phone service providers: Inteliquent, Bandwidth, Lumen, and Peerless. These companies continue to let massive volumes of scam calls reach Marylanders. Full Release: bit.ly/48gU92L

I’m opposing the administration’s plan to weaken limits on hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), some of the most powerful greenhouse gases driving climate change. These chemicals are used in air conditioning and refrigeration, and rolling back existing rules would slow the nationwide effort to cut emissions.

I joined a bipartisan coalition calling on Shopify to stop illegal e-cigarette sales happening on its platform. Too many online sellers are using Shopify’s services to market unlawful and unregulated e-cigarettes, which put young people at serious risk.

Our Constitution promises due process to every single person in our country, regardless of their immigration status. The Trump administration’s expansion of “expedited removals” breaks that promise — allowing deportations without hearings, lawyers, or basic fairness.

More than 680,000 Marylanders, including 262,000 children, rely on SNAP to put food on the table. The Trump administration’s decision to suspend this critical program during the shutdown is unlawful and cruel.
