It’s never too early to be civically engaged, and the incredible Howard County high schoolers interning with my friend Senator Hester are perfect examples of that!

When James Obergefell and John Arthur flew from Ohio to Maryland to get legally married, they paved the way for the future of equality in our country. As a proud member of the @equality.house.gov, I will continue fighting for LGBTQ+ rights and the acceptance that all our neighbors deserve.
11 years ago today, the Supreme Court made a landmark ruling in Obergefell v. Hodges – legalizing same-sex marriage and forever changing the direction of our nation.
When we keep up the pressure and hold this Administration accountable, we can deliver results.
Committee hearings aren’t about getting your viral clip – they’re about getting things done. After confronting Secretary Burgum about the Administration’s partisan park passes and inefficient grants process, we saw real change: a number of grants were released the very next day!
I was proud to recognize this milestone at @houlahan.house.gov’s roundtable, where we celebrated the achievements of our servicewomen and looked ahead to the next 50 years of building just and equitable academies for all of our servicemembers.
50 years ago, for the first time in our country’s history, women were allowed to enroll in our military academies. Despite facing sexism, harassment, and prejudice, the first class of women cadets demonstrated unwavering bravery and courage – ultimately proving that women belong in the military.
President Trump promised to lower costs day one, yet his economic policies have only raised costs across the board and stripped our neighbors of the crucial benefits they need to make ends meet. The American people deserve better – and if the Trump Administration won’t act, Congress must.
Since President Trump’s Big Ugly Law enacted the largest cut to SNAP in history, over 4 million people have lost access to SNAP, including more than 800,000 children.
We cannot stand back and let lawmakers be punished for simply doing their jobs on behalf of the American people.
Sending your political opponents to prison is something authoritarians do – not democratically elected officials. My friend and colleague @replamonica.bsky.social is now facing 17 years in prison after demanding accountability for the Trump Administration’s reckless weaponization of ICE.
What happened after Congress passed one of the most consequential, bipartisan bills to lower housing costs in a generation? President Trump refused to sign it this morning – and the reason is worse than you think.
This is big news: In a rare bipartisan rebuke, the House and Senate have both passed a bipartisan resolution directing President Trump to end his war in Iran. We will continue to maintain the pressure on this Administration and make clear that the American people do not want this endless war.
Politicians should not be in charge of decisions made for our bodies, which is why I’ll never stop fighting to protect and expand access to reproductive health care for all of our neighbors.
As we reflect on the fall of Roe and the actions taken since, we must recommit ourselves to fight for abortion access and the fundamental reproductive and medical freedoms everyone deserves.
Four years ago today, women across the country woke up with fewer freedoms than we had the day before – and now 20 states have banned all or some abortion care.
With just a few minutes before 8:00 PM, make sure to vote this Primary Election Day, Maryland! I voted in person in Annapolis this morning before making the drive to D.C. to vote on your behalf in the House of Representatives.
As we celebrate this milestone, we recognize that the Port of Baltimore is not just our past – it’s our future.
From Congresswoman Helen Bentley and Congressman Elijah Cummings to then Delegate Brooke Lierman and Senate President Bill Ferguson, Team Maryland refused to take no for an answer and found creative solutions to invest in the Port and economic opportunity for our region.
Since the late 1800s, the Howard Street Tunnel in Baltimore has served as a crucial transportation and trade artery supporting the Port of Baltimore and our entire region.
