Less employment opportunities means less workers, and a strong economy needs both. Last month's job report makes it clear: Trump's economic policies have the country going in the wrong direction. www.wsj.com/economy/jobs...

Last month, President Trump said that ‘it’s raining jobs.' But the numbers don’t lie: with only 57,000 jobs created & 4.2% unemployment, Americans are seeing their economic opportunities dry up.

Republicans refused to extend ACA tax credits, and now millions of Americans are being priced out of their health care premiums. Losing access to affordable health care means working families will have to make incredibly tough choices to make ends meet. The American people deserve better than this.

OMB is the nerve center of presidential power, and Vought has relentlessly focused on enacting his own ideological program to the detriment of the American people's livelihoods. @democrats-appropriations.house.gov will use every tool we have to put an end to this mismanagement of our government.

Today, SCOTUS affirmed that the President has misread the clear meaning and intent of the 14th Amendment. Those who are born in this country have the right to call it home as a citizen. They are a part of the American project and will remain so as we build a stronger democracy together.

Under Russell Vought, OMB has extended the limits of the Executive Branch's constitutional power and been a source of trauma for our civil servants. Tune in at 10:00 a.m. as @democrats-appropriations.house.gov conduct oversight to hold Vought, Trump & DOGE accountable for the chaos they've created:

Congress intentionally set up independent agencies, boards, & commissions to reflect both majority & minority views. Today’s SCOTUS decision establishes that the President’s policies matter over an independent commission's judgement.

During Pride Month, we celebrate the progress made to deliver the LGBTQ+ community the rights, respect, and recognition they deserve. Let us keep working to ensure our nation lives up to the principles of freedom and equality by fighting against discrimination to protect all Americans' civil rights.

Marylanders are struggling in Trump's failing economy, & they're looking to their state & federal leaders for help while the Admin says, “you’re on your own.” Team Maryland remains committed to delivering for all Marylanders at this critical moment for our state. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...

Glad to welcome #MD05's 2026 Congressional Art Competition winner Jenna Tran and her family to my office in the U.S. Capitol.

As Majority Leader, I was proud to bring the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act to the Floor & work with my colleagues on both sides of the aisle to pass the most significant measure to address gun violence in decades.

Today's SCOTUS ruling goes against our nation's historic role as a beacon of hope and liberty for those seeking a better life.

Great to join the 7th Annual Juneteenth Freedom Day celebration hosted by the Charles County Juneteenth Committee for a meaningful celebration of resilience and community. The work to achieve equality and justice for all continues, and I'm proud to be a part of it.

Four years after SCOTUS' Dobbs decision, we've seen chaos and devastation as restrictions to reproductive care endanger the lives of women nationwide.

Our national defense should support our servicemembers, protect our allies, & enhance diplomatic strength - not abdicate Congress' oversight authority, abandon Ukraine, or force Americans to pay for wars of choice or inflated budgets. Tune in now as @democrats-appropriations.house.gov fight back:

Attention Marylanders: Election Day is here! Don't forget to make your voices heard and get out to the polls to vote by 8:00 p.m. tonight.

June is #GunViolenceAwarenessMonth, & we have more work to end this devastating epidemic that plagues our communities. As Majority Leader, I brought the Assault Weapons Ban of 2022 to the Floor to help protect Americans from gun violence. Let's keep working to build a better, safer America for all.

Being a father, grandfather, and great-grandfather are my proudest titles. To all the dads, grandfathers, and father figures whose love, support, and guidance help strengthen our families and communities, thank you for all you do. Happy Father’s Day!

161 years ago, news of emancipation reached the last enslaved people in Galveston, Texas. Today we celebrate that freedom and reflect on our nation’s history of racial injustice.

Our farmers support our communities & economy, and that’s why Team Maryland pressed the Trump Admin to make emergency financial assistance programs available to farmers impacted by the April freeze & frost event. We will continue to support our farmers and agriculture communities across our state.

Honored to be presented with the Paralyzed Veterans of America's Gordon H. Mansfield Congressional Leadership Award by Carl Blake and Robert Thomas, whose leadership has transformed the lives of veterans that live with disabilities following their service to our country.

I was glad to celebrate the #MD05 students who received appointments to a U.S. Service Academy this year at our Academy Tea. These students exhibit great character, and I'm thankful to their families for raising such bright leaders. I wish these students much luck in their military service.

Instead of working with Democrats to strengthen Social Security, Trump and DOGE continue their efforts to dismantle and privatize this vital program in order to give tax breaks to the wealthy. Congress must act now to protect Americans' hard-earned benefits and ensure they can retire with dignity.

Once again, Republicans jammed through a partisan reconciliation bill that gives another $70B to ICE & CBP without any oversight or reforms that protect our citizens and communities. Democrats stand against Trump's reckless policies and continue to hold the Administration accountable.

Instead of working on a bill that helps Americans access health care, education & employment opportunities, Republicans aim to disinvest in key programs & leave hardworking families on their own. Watch @democrats-appropriations.house.gov fight to restore critical investments for the American people:

I was honored to attend the annual John & Lillian Miles Lewis Foundation’s Good Trouble Gala. My brother John inspired me & many others to make 'Good Trouble' to align our nation's policies with its principles. I will keep working to protect the victories he helped achieve.

The House passage of the Ukraine Support Act was a victory for Ukraine, the United States, freedom, and international law.

Serving the people of #MD05 in Congress has been the honor of a lifetime. I’m proud of all we've accomplished, from making critical investments in Southern Maryland to fighting for civil rights & democracy at home & abroad. I look forward to continuing my work through the end of the 119th Congress.

I was proud to host the annual Educators Luncheon to honor our outstanding #MD05 teachers and support staff. Educators continue to face many challenges with grace and resilience. I'll keep fighting to ensure they have the resources to support our students' success within and beyond the classroom.

Now more than ever, we should be investing in affordable housing and energy, clean air and water, & transportation systems to support our communities. Yet Republicans continue to cut funding for these key priorities and support policies that raise the cost of living for hardworking Americans.

I'm proud to announce over $1.3M in funding for Maryland crime labs and police departments to increase their DNA processing capacity. Team Maryland will keep working to provide federal investments to help tear down roadblocks to solving crime & produce accurate, timely results for our communities.

On Memorial Day, we remember the courageous men & women in uniform who gave their lives to defend our nation. We must continue to stand up for our democracy with the same devotion displayed by the heroes we honor today. May God continue to bless our troops, veterans, the fallen, & their families.

Republicans are ripping health care from millions and driving up the cost of living to support Trump’s tariffs, war, gilded ballroom, and now a $1.8 billion slush fund for his friends. As Americans struggle in Trump's failing economy, Democrats are fighting to lower costs for everyone.

Trump said he wanted to 'drain the swamp.' Instead, he has filled the sewer with corruption, cronyism, conflict, and chaos while taking a chainsaw to the Constitution. I will continue to fight to hold the President accountable and call out his Republican majority for being complicit in his schemes.

USCP is understaffed, yet it's difficult to recruit and retain officers when other agencies offer more competitive pay and benefits.

The Constitution clearly states: Congress enacts laws, and the Executive Branch enforces. Those who truly care about our democracy would not stand by silently as the President bypasses the authority of Congress to the detriment of our country. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...

Republicans claim they're working to ensure America's energy independence & prevent Iran from obtaining a nuclear weapon. Their cuts to clean energy & nuclear defense funding do the exact opposite. @democrats-appropriations.house.gov will keep fighting to lower energy costs & reduce nuclear threats.

The DOJ's settlement is just the latest example of Trump's unchecked schemes to enrich himself, his family, and his friends at the taxpayers’ expense. Congress must assert its oversight power and use every tool to hold this President and his Administration accountable for this rampant corruption.

Barney Frank and I both came to the Congress in 1981 & have been close friends for over four decades. Across a range of issues, & on behalf of those in Massachusetts & the entire country, Barney was a tireless champion. He'll long be remembered for his courage. May his memory be a blessing to all.

While their war of choice in Iran continues to drive energy costs up even more, Trump and Republicans are working to slash critical funding for projects that provide affordable clean energy and counter nuclear terrorism. Watch @democrats-appropriations.house.gov fight back:

It was an honor to join CSM's School of STEM and Professional Studies Spring 2026 Commencement ceremony and receive the 2026 Trustee Distinguished Service Award. I am grateful to receive this award and was proud to celebrate the achievements of our graduates. Congratulations to the Class of 2026!

I am horrified by the tragic shooting that occurred at the Islamic Center of San Diego. The rise of hate-fueled attacks against religious communities is deeply disturbing & completely unacceptable. Islamophobia should have no place in our country or the world, & every American ought to be concerned.

Soon, the House will have a long overdue vote on expressing its support for Ukraine and our opposition to the Russian invasion. The people of Ukraine have shown tremendous courage in this fight, and Congress needs to do the same. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...

Republicans' funding bill makes dangerous cuts to programs that protect Americans, support scientific development, and mitigate the pain from Trump's illegal tariffs and war of choice with Iran.

With the last signature secured on a bipartisan discharge petition, the House will finally move to vote on the Ukraine Support Act. I thank my colleagues for their collaboration to send a strong message to Russia and the brave Ukrainians fighting to defend their nation and its sovereignty.

In the middle of a cost-of-living crisis, Republicans are trying to slash programs that support local economies, keep our communities safe, & drive scientific research & technological development across the country. Tune in as @democrats-appropriations.house.gov fight Republicans' funding proposal:

The Key Bridge collapse impacted the livelihoods of thousands within our region and our entire nation. Over the last two years, Team Maryland worked together to recover & rebuild. Today’s settlement is another important step towards holding the liable parties accountable and building back stronger.

Thank you to all who joined the 45th Annual Service Academies & College ROTC Showcase. I was glad to see many #MD05 students intent on pursuing an education & training to become a commissioned officer at one of our esteemed institutions. I wish them luck as they seek to serve our country in uniform.
