Congress must reassert Article I authority to declare war – especially after decades of presidents expanding their own war powers.

The 250th anniversary of our nation reminds us that we all have a role to play in protecting our national treasures so they can be enjoyed by our neighbors for the next 250!
I joined @protectparks.bsky.social President Tiernan Sittenfeld at their United by Parks celebration with @brookelierman.bsky.social to reaffirm our commitment to protecting our national parks for generations to come.
🌳Our national parks preserve and protect centuries (and sometimes millenia) of diverse stories and history from every corner of our country. Yet over the past 18 months, the Trump Administration has undertaken unprecedented actions to attack and insert partisan politics into our park service.
That’s why I supported @repwesleybellmo.bsky.social’s amendment to require that these clear symbols of hate be banned from our military. Good news: the amendment was adopted!
Last year, when swastikas and nooses were downgraded from prohibited "hate symbols" to "potentially divisive" imagery, it was clear we needed to clarify our laws. There are many nuanced and complex policy issues up for debate today – this is not one of them.
As we debate the NDAA, I spoke in favor of @cisneros.house.gov amendment to allow these organizations to continue developing and supporting the next generation of well-rounded leaders — despite Secretary Hegseth’s ridiculous “war on DEI.”
Having represented the United States Naval Academy for eight years, I've seen firsthand the impact that cultural, religious, academic, and identity-based student organizations have made on our midshipmen – preparing them to handle complex missions and lead diverse teams around the globe.
🍩We can all be stewards for our public lands, and I’m so grateful for their work to preserve our beaches and local history.
Before heading back to Washington, I stopped by Carr’s beach to deliver Carlson’s donuts to the incredible students in the Annapolis High School Surfrider Club who were spending their Saturday morning cleaning up the historic beach!
Big News: After 95 days of President Trump’s war, a few House Republicans finally joined Democrats to pass a bipartisan War Powers Resolution to end hostilities in Iran. We cannot continue down the road of this costly, unpopular, and unjustified war.

The only way we can continue this great democratic experiment for another 250 years is if our young people keep actively leaning in and participating just as our Founders envisioned. Be sure to apply by Wednesday, June 10th at 11:59 PM at the link below and make your voices heard! Best of luck!
We’re now less than two weeks away from the deadline to submit a video to our #MD03 America 250 Contest 🇺🇸 If you’re under 18, #TeamElfreth wants to hear from you this milestone year: how are you continuing to participate in our democracy?
Especially during these difficult times, I’m grateful to the young people who continue answering the call to serve. If you’re interested in serving our nation, you can learn more about the nomination process or submit your nomination form at the link below.

As the daughter and granddaughter of Army, Navy, and Air Force veterans, and a member of the House Armed Services Committee, it’s an absolute privilege to support our next generation of leaders.
One of the best parts of my job is having the honor of nominating our talented young people from #MD03 to our nation’s military academies. This week, my team and I invited our 31 incredible service academy appointees and their families to Washington to celebrate this tremendous accomplishment!
That’s why I introduced the bipartisan NOAA Data Preservation Act to ensure NOAA’s crucial data for severe weather forecasting is protected so they can continue their lifesaving work this hurricane season and beyond.
Last year, between DOGE and the President’s budget, we saw unprecedented attacks on NOAA by this Administration.
As we enter hurricane season, I’m thinking of the NOAA scientists and experts who make sure we get daily weather updates on our phones, lifesaving updates on severe storms, and so much more.
I can’t wait to meet the rest of our incredible intern class and hear what they accomplish this summer — welcome to #TeamElfreth!
