CDC safeguards were bypassed to fast-track a controversial vaccine study. There was no proper review, infants were put at risk, and scientists worldwide raised ethical concerns. Once again, RFK Jr.’s "leadership" is putting public trust and lives at risk.
Title: New Documents Reveal A Controversial Vaccine Study’s Unusual Path to CDC Approval A Rolling Stone investigation uncovered irregularities in the ethics review of a $1.6 million research grant to examine the effects of a birth dose of the hepatitis B vaccine in Guinea-Bissau

This Administration has collected an estimated $175 billion in illegal tariffs. We’re fighting to get every penny back. Our bill requires a FULL refund with interest. It’s time to return this money to working Americans and small businesses.
Senator Alsobrooks Co-Sponsors Legislation Requiring Refunds of Trump's Illegal Tariffs
What does the Tariff Refund Act of 2026 do? - Requires CBP to pay refunds of all tariffs that were unlawfully imposed by the President under IEEPA and paid by importers—even if the importation has already been finalized and closed (“liquidated”) by CBP. - Sets a deadline of 180 days after enactment for CBP to process all refunds. - Requires CBP to pay interest on the refunded amount. - Directs CBP to prioritize small businesses when paying refunds and to coordinate with the SBA to provide key information on the refund process to small businesses. - Requires CBP to report every 30 days to relevant congressional committees on the status of refunds until CBP has completed the payment of all refunds. - Directs CBP to issue guidance on how to address duty drawback claims. - Expresses the Sense of Congress that importers, wholesalers, and large corporations should pass on those refunds to their customers.

Visited the YMCA in Abingdon to meet with Y Maryland leadership about the critical services they provide, from youth programs to senior support. As funding challenges grow, I’ll keep fighting to protect SNAP, Medicaid, and Head Start so families can access the care and opportunities they deserve.

I hosted “Real Men, Real Talk” with County Executive Calvin Ball and an incredible panel of experts to discuss the physical, mental & emotional health of men and boys. Too many suffer in silence and we must break the stigma.

The YWCA of Annapolis & Anne Arundel is on the front lines supporting survivors of domestic violence. I joined @vanhollen.senate.gov and @elfreth.house.gov to deliver $697,000 in federal funding to strengthen and expand their lifesaving work in Anne Arundel County.

The Supreme Court ruled the Admin’s disastrous tariffs are illegal and reaffirmed that Congress sets trade policy. I fought for tariff transparency and accountability from day one. We must refund Americans who were forced to pay for these illegal, chaotic, and arbitrary tariffs.
This Administration’s illegal and disastrous tariffs have hurt Marylanders – the families who have struggled every day to put food on the table, the farmers on the Eastern Shore, the small businesses in downtown Baltimore, the manufacturers in Mountain Maryland – and everyone in between. Finally, the Supreme Court ruled these tariffs are an unconstitutional tax on the American people, saying the President lacks authority to use the International Emergency Economic Powers Act to impose tariffs. The Court reaffirmed that the power of the purse resides with Congress. When I first came to the Senate one year ago, I knew I needed to act fast to hold the President and Republicans accountable for these disastrous tariffs. My first bill, the Tariff Transparency Act, would have required the Trump Administration to disclose the true cost of many of these tariffs to the American people. Republicans blocked it.
I continued to fight for Maryland businesses, farmers, and families in fighting against these tariffs – joining many amicus briefs at every step of the litigation process, including the Supreme Court case that led to today’s decision. Today’s decision reaffirms Congress’ responsibility to set trade policy. The Administration must work with Congress quickly to refund Marylanders for the money they have paid for tariffs that were chaotic, arbitrary, and now illegal.

I toured SURVICE Engineering in Belcamp, where they are helping advance cutting-edge drone technology. I was proud to secure federal funding that strengthens our national security and keeps Maryland at the forefront of research, development, and innovation.

I met with leaders from the Army Alliance, Aberdeen Proving Ground, and local partners in Aberdeen to learn about their vision for the future. Maryland plays a critical role in our national security, and I’m committed to advancing investments that strengthen our communities.

Public health suffers when fear keeps people from living their normal lives— from going to work, school, or the doctor. These ICE tactics are creating dangerous barriers that will harm our communities for years to come.

I had an invigorating conversation with Cecil County businesses and County leadership hosted by the Cecil County Office of Economic Development. I heard about their successes, challenges, and opportunities. I will continue to fight for economic opportunity for all Marylanders.

Today, we lost a giant. Rev. Jesse Jackson dedicated his life to justice, dignity, and expanding who belongs in our democracy. We honor his legacy by carrying the work forward. Praying for Rep. Jonathan Jackson and the entire Jackson family.
This morning, our world lost a giant in Reverend Jesse Jackson. So many of us have the indelible black-and-white still images of Rev. Jackson fighting for justice in the Civil Rights Movement committed to memory. But keeping him there doesn’t do him justice. Rev. Jackson moved in living color, leaving his mark over decades of world history. He marched with Dr. King in tireless pursuit of voting rights and civil rights for Black Americans. He ran for president and forever changed the face of electoral politics, giving a voice to the overlooked and unheard. He flew around the globe as a humanitarian, chasing injustice across oceans and borders. He fought for the poverty stricken in rural America, and the poor living in our cities. He worked on behalf of farmers and labor unions. He protested for student rights and advocated for humane treatment of immigrants.
Whether you were imprisoned by injustice or indignity, he was there to remind you, ‘I am somebody.’ And time and time again, Rev. Jackson stood at the front, putting his own life at risk in an effort to liberate millions more. He lived his faith, driven by a moral conviction that civil rights, human rights, and economic justice together created a big tent that had room for everyone. Rev. Jackson prepared generations to carry the torch forward. And at a time when our nation’s conscience doesn’t always speak as loudly as it should, and many of the fights that Rev. Jackson fought are still ongoing, his example shows us that the way to keep hope alive for enduring justice is through the work we’re willing to do for it. My prayers are with my House colleague Rep. Jonathan Jackson and the entire Jackson family.

Republicans would rather shut down the government than rein in ICE – masked men killing Americans in broad daylight. We are asking for accountability – reveal the faces behind ICE and stop killing us – is that too much to ask? Apparently so.
