Yesterday, I kicked off our Juneteenth celebrations at the Celebrate Annapolis Juneteenth Gala, where we recognized the progress made right in Annapolis and Anne Arundel County to preserve Black culture and history while also acknowledging how far we still have to go.

This year may be only the sixth time we’ve celebrated Juneteenth as a federal holiday – but it's a culmination of over a century and a half of pushing for recognition and years of work preserving our history, even in its darkest moments.
The President’s decision to enter this war with no plan or strategy was selfish, unconstitutional, and a national security failure. Now, it is the American people who will have to continue to bear the cost and damage of the war.
After over 100 days of war, gas prices have skyrocketed, we have damaged global alliances, and we are no closer to keeping a nuclear weapon out of Iran's hands. The reopening of a strait that was open before the war began is not progress.
After 14 servicemembers' lives were lost and untold billions of taxpayer dollars were spent, I would hope that America is better off than we were before the President’s war. But that is simply not the case.
On Juneteenth, we take time to reflect on our nation’s history & honor the immense strength, contributions, & legacy of Black Americans who have shaped our country into what it is today. Today & every day, we must continue the fight against injustice & towards becoming a more perfect union for all.
161 years ago today, Union soldiers arrived in Galveston, Texas, with the news of President Lincoln’s nationwide abolition of slavery – over two years after the Emancipation Proclamation was issued.
Whether it’s advancing legislation to support workers’ rights to negotiate or protecting their hard-earned benefits, I’m committed to delivering for the more than 340,000 union workers who call Maryland home.
As a proud member of the @laborcaucus.house.gov and daughter of a union rail worker, I’ve been fighting to protect the rights and benefits of our union workers since day one. I’m incredibly proud to have received a perfect score on @ibewinternational.bsky.social’s Vote Scorecard!
That’s why we convened our #MD03 education roundtable to discuss the challenges our school communities face & how we can fight for them in Washington. As a proud public schools graduate & former professor, these are the conversations that keep me excited & energized. Stay tuned for the work ahead.
On top of the daily challenges of teaching, educators today are also faced with unprecedented funding cuts at the Department of Education, the weaponization of ICE against students, and other attacks by this Administration.
Greater mental health support, expanded community schools, fostering partnerships between Head Start and our community colleges to both increase childcare opportunities AND educate the next generation of early childhood educators: just a few topics brainstormed at yesterday’s education roundtable!
So, what are Congress’ war powers, and what is our role in stopping this conflict? Learn more about it today’s edition of Sarah Explains It All:
The Constitution gives Congress the sole power to declare war. Despite the latest news of the President’s deal with Iran, President Trump’s reckless war with Iran has now been waged for over 100 days.
The American people deserve policies that help them get by, not line the pockets of the President – we cannot let this corruption go unnoticed and unchecked.
Let’s be clear: President Trump’s UFC fight had nothing to do with patriotism and everything to do with corruption. The Trump Administration used government land to host the fight, knowing President Trump held shares in both UFC and Paramount.
Happy Islamic New Year 🌙 The new Hijri year and the month of Muharram symbolize a time for spiritual renewal, reflection, and growth. For all those who celebrate in #MD03 and beyond, may this new year bring peace and prosperity to you and your loved ones.
Our servicemembers and military spouses sacrifice so much in service of our country – they should not have to sacrifice their dreams of building a family because of partisan politics. I will continue to work with my colleagues to get this provision back in the final version of the legislation.
Just last week, Senate Republicans voted to strike down an expansion of health care coverage for military families’ fertility treatments – even though this provision was supported bipartisanly in the last two NDAAs.
Check out the link below for more information on the competition and how to apply. We can’t wait to see what you come up with!
