That's why I voted in favor of @meeks.house.gov’s War Powers Resolution to once again stop the President from taking any further reckless and unconstitutional military action in Iran.

Like many in my generation, I hold grave concerns about our country being dragged into another endless war in the Middle East and even greater concerns about war crimes being threatened by this President.
Our Framers made clear in Article I that Congress holds the sole Constitutional power to declare war. Yet we are nearly 50 days into this war in Iran, & the President has failed to deliver to Congress – or the American people – a clear exit plan, all while continuing to escalate tensions via Tweet.
Let me be clear: I do not take this action lightly – but when it becomes abundantly apparent that our Commander in Chief's reckless and irrational behavior is overstepping Constitutional authority and putting lives at risk, we must act.
I’ve joined @raskin.house.gov’s legislation to establish a bipartisan standing body, and act with the Vice President, to remove the President under the guidelines of the 25th Amendment.
From the President’s unhinged rants on social media and reckless war mongering via Tweet, it is clear that the President is no longer in possession of himself.
These conversations ensure collaboration to best support our servicemembers and military families in #MD03 and beyond.
Ahead of our annual Readiness Subcommittee Vice Service Posture hearing, I sat down with General Gerring, Assistant Commandant of the Marine Corps, to discuss all things military readiness – from on-base housing quality to improving base resilience to working with local partners on modernization.
It’s time for more sunshine – not less.
As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I have the privilege of sitting in regular classified briefings – where this Administration’s answers were utterly insufficient – but almost no answers have been provided to the American public, our servicemembers, or their families.
Senator Graham and I agree on one thing: the White House needs to explain its exit strategy for the President’s Iran war to both Congress and the American people.
The people of this nation place their faith in their representatives to act with integrity. For survivors of assault and harassment across this country, Congress has a responsibility to ensure sexual misconduct does not go unchecked anywhere – and especially in the halls of power.
The allegations were abhorrent, serious, and beneath the dignity of this office. I’m relieved to see the resignations of both Congressmen Eric Swalwell and Tony Gonzales, and I commend the women who have come forward to tell their stories and hold this institution accountable.
I’ve joined @wassermanschultz.house.gov and @pressley.house.gov’s amicus brief urging the courts to stop this termination, uphold the longstanding bipartisan support for TPS, and not send our neighbors back to countries where their lives are at risk.
The ruling will not only have consequences for those seeking refuge from Haiti and Syria, but for more than 1.3 million TPS holders in our country – including our neighbors from Ukraine, Venezuela, El Salvador, Ethiopia, Nepal, and more.
This month, the Supreme Court will decide whether the Trump Administration can terminate the Temporary Protected Status (or TPS) of individuals from Haiti and Syria – but the implications of this decision are much broader.
It’s through these efforts that we can reach our land conservation goals and continue thinking bigger, bolder, and faster. Stay tuned for updates on this extraordinary new passive park!
This work is only possible because of our local, state, & federal partners – led by @aacoexec.bsky.social, the Naval Academy, Councilwoman Rodvien, & the Earl family – who are committed to protecting the Saltworks Creek Watershed & advancing our vision of accessible, connected parks for all.
Thanks to their extraordinary leadership, yesterday we got 47 acres closer to our conservation goals with Anne Arundel County designating part of the Saltworks Creek Watershed, a vital tributary to the Severn River, as protected land.
Three years ago this week, I went on a rather bumpy golf cart tour of a beautiful forest just next to the Annapolis mall with the Chesapeake Conservancy and philanthropists Jim and Sylvia Earl.
