Over the weekend, I joined the National Center for Victims of Crime to celebrate 40 years of standing up for survivors. Their work guiding victims through the justice system and ensuring they’re treated with dignity is essential to our community’s safety and healing.

The Trump administration is finally outlining when furloughed federal workers will be paid. Between Sunday & Wednesday, Nov. 19, the men and women who’ve kept our country running through this shutdown will finally get the pay they’re owed. www.semafor.com/article/11/1...

For 43 days, @housedemocrats.bsky.social stood firm to protect America’s health care and lower health care costs. That's why I voted no on yesterday's partisan Republican spending bill that allowed these tax credits to expire. We are not giving up the fight to lower health care costs.

Proud to join @ncnwhq.bsky.social for this year’s #EdTechquity Summit. Black women make up just 2% of the tech workforce—but that’s changing. Together, we’re breaking barriers and building a future where innovation and opportunity lift everyone. #NCNW #STEM #TechEquity

I’ll be voting NO on the Republican continuing resolution tonight. I refuse to compromise on Americans’ access to affordable health care.

Today, on Veterans Day, we honor the courage and sacrifice of all those who have served in uniform — including my father and my father-in-law, who served in the armed services. To all veterans: we see you, we thank you, and we stand by you — today and every day.

If Republicans let the ACA subsidies lapse, premiums will rise sharply for Americans earning $65,000 annually. Here’s what that looks like across the country. Read more below: 🔗https://wapo.st/4hRc1V9

I have been fighting alongside @housedemocrats.bsky.social to cancel cuts, lower costs, and save healthcare. Senate Republicans are ready to walk away & send us a bill that lets those credits expire. We will not back a bill that makes health care harder to afford or puts profits over people.

At yesterday’s Steering & Policy hearing, I introduced Marylander Bobby Laughlin, who shared how this Republican shutdown is driving up health premiums and cutting off SNAP. His story is one of millions. We need to reopen government and lower healthcare costs.

Maryland is right to sue. Greenbelt won fair and square — the new FBI HQ belongs in Prince George’s County. The administration’s reversal disregards the law and the process. I’ll keep fighting to bring the FBI home to Greenbelt.

The Trump administration steamrolled the law to rip the FBI HQ from Greenbelt. I applaud AG Brown and Prince George’s County for fighting back. I fully support these legal challenges — and I look forward to welcoming the FBI home to Prince George’s County.

The Republican shutdown has dragged on for 38 days and working families are paying the price. Democrats are ready right now to sit down, reopen the government, and lower costs.

After seeing the conditions at the current FBI Headquarters today, one thing is obvious: the building is falling apart, and the men and women of the FBI deserve better. Greenbelt is the right choice — and it’s the law. I fully support AG Brown’s suit to hold this administration accountable.

Members of Congress heard heartfelt testimony today from people hurt by soaring health insurance premiums and the loss of SNAP benefits amid the government shutdown. Among Among those testifying was Baltimore resident Bobby Laughlin, who was introduced by Rep. Glenn Ivey. @ivey.house.gov

@pelosi.house.gov, thank you for your decades of service

I want you to know that you are not alone – and help is available if you need it. If you need assistance, local organizations are ready to lend a hand. Visit Council Member Jolene Ivey’s Resource Page to Learn More: 🔗 pgccouncil.us/1098/Food-Dist…

President Trump and House Republicans should be ashamed of themselves. Declaring that you will withhold food assistance from over 42 million Americans via a social media post, in clear defiance of a court order, is a new low for this administration.

President Trump is clearly defying the court's order and continues to play politics with hunger. Which Americans don't deserve to have food on their table?

There is a lot of confusion right now around whether families will receive their food assistance in November. If you need support, call 2-1-1 or the Capital Area Food Bank's Hunger Lifeline: (202) 644-9807. www.capitalareafoodbank.org/find-food-as...

Food insecurity during this federal government shutdown is a real and growing crisis in our community. I visited Mission of Love, Inc Food Pantry alongside Council Member Jolene Ivey to witness firsthand how demand is affecting furloughed federal workers & households uncertain about SNAP benefits.

Today’s court ruling rightly orders the Trump administration to release $4.6 billion in SNAP contingency funds so families can get the food aid that has been in limbo since November 1. The administration must now follow the law, restore full benefits, and stop using hunger as a political weapon.

When the Trump Administration illegally withheld food benefits, Prince George’s County didn’t wait around—we stepped up for one another.

Today’s court decision confirms what we’ve been fighting for all along: no American should be used as a bargaining chip. Millions of families depend on SNAP to eat, and this ruling makes clear that the administration must use the funds available to keep food on the table for those in need.

Mayor Vivian Dodson was a trailblazer — the first woman and African American elected mayor of Capitol Heights & a true servant of the people. Known as “The People’s Mayor,” she led with strength, grace, and heart. Deepest condolences to her family, friends, and all who were inspired by her legacy.

Open enrollment starts Nov. 1—and Marylanders face a drastic spike in health insurance costs. We need to extend the ACA tax credits now.

Billions for Argentina. Nothing for hungry Americans. The Trump administration found $40 billion for foreign banks — but can’t find the funds to keep SNAP benefits flowing at home.

Maryland partners with a variety of food assistance programs across the state. These resources are available during the federal government shutdown and remain active for new participants.

Grateful to the Capital Area Food Bank and community partners for standing with our federal workers during this difficult time. While Republicans keep the government closed, families are feeling the pain. It’s time to reopen the government and get people the stability they deserve.

I joined my colleagues in demanding that Secretary Rollins release the funds for November SNAP benefits. In my district, more than half of SNAP households have children, & a third include seniors or people with disabilities. They deserve better.

29 days into this shutdown, families are feeling the pain. Health care costs are rising. SNAP funding is on the line. It’s time for Trump and House Republicans to stop weaponizing hunger and start working with us to reopen the government and lower costs for everyone. #EndTheShutdown #ProtectSNAP

Thank you to Capital Area Food Bank’s CEO Radha Muthiah, Congressman Steny Hoyer, Pastor Carter and First Lady Pam Carter of No Limits Ministries for standing with federal workers at today’s pop up distribution. No one who serves this country should have to worry about groceries.

The Trump administration is choosing to cut off SNAP benefits while families are struggling to put food on the table. That is cruel, irresponsible, and illegal. @housedemocrats.bsky.social will fight to make sure no one in America goes hungry.

Thank you to Nonprofit Prince George’s County, Executive Director Tiffany Turner, and FBCG’s Shabach! Ministries for bringing together leaders who keep our communities fed and supported. Nonprofits are essential partners in the fight against food insecurity, especially during this shutdown.

Republicans are blocking affordable health care and federal worker pay while protecting tax breaks for billionaires. Extend ACA tax credits. Reopen the government. Pay workers what they are owed. It’s that simple.

There is no legal or financial reason to furlough federal workers whose pay comes from fees, not annual appropriations. I’m working with my colleagues to demand that every one of these workers gets paid now. No excuses.

President Trump and Russ Vought must follow the law and ensure that our most vulnerable families can keep food on the table.

I joined @hoyer.house.gov, state leaders & union reps in Bowie to hear from federal workers hurt by the Republican shutdown. Families are missing paychecks & struggling to get by. We’re fighting to protect federal workers & stop healthcare costs from skyrocketing. #FedWorkersMatter #EndTheShutdown

Trump’s demolition of the East Wing mirrors what he is attempting to do to our democracy- destroy it for his own gain. In Congress, we are demanding that he answers to the American people. @bishop.house.gov @pocan.house.gov @hoyer.house.gov

I’m proud to be recognized as a Congressional Retail Crime Fighter by the National Retail Foundation for my support of the Combating Organized Retail Crime Act. bit.ly/4nf2Te2

It’s outrageous that millions in private money are being poured into tearing down part of the White House while families in my district are losing SNAP benefits and federal workers are missing paychecks.

Great to join Governor Moore and Montgomery County officials this morning at the newly launched Federal Workers Career Center.

The Republican-led shutdown is now in its fourth week, and families are struggling. Savings are being drained. Debts are climbing. Healthcare costs are slipping out of reach. Republicans are choosing the wealthy over working people. It’s time for Congress to choose people over profits.

A $230M payout from a DOJ run by President Trump’s former defense attorneys isn’t justice — it’s corruption, plain and simple. The American people deserve transparency and accountability, not self-dealing from those in power. abcnews.go.com/US/trump-doj...

Millions of working families are facing higher health care costs because Republicans are holding the government hostage to fund tax breaks for billionaires. I joined my colleagues, l @protectourcare.org & advocates to demand action and stop this #GOPHealthCareCrisis #ProtectOurCare

The only outrage, Speaker Johnson, is that you’re denying @adelitaforcongress.bsky.social her seat because you’re scared the Epstein petition could reach 218 votes.

It was an honor to join GEICO, the National Auto Body Council, and Friendship Place to help a local veteran get back on the road. Joseph Butler of Laurel received a refurbished “Recycled Ride” that will help him get to work and access his medication.
