President Trump just voted by mail in Florida’s special election - even as he continues to call vote-by-mail fraudulent and attack the voting rights of millions with the SAVE America Act.

To celebrate this special day, I decided to share one of these Maryland staples, the Berger cookie, with my colleagues here in Washington. I hope you take time to celebrate the culture, history, & people that make the Old Line State special – and enjoy some Maryland staples too. Happy Maryland Day!
🎂🦀 Today is Maryland's 392nd birthday! Our great State is famous for many things, from blue crabs to oysters to the Orioles to the United States Naval Academy and so much more.
All in an effort to lower costs, increase reliability, and ensure our electric grid can meet rising demands. As this Administration continues to prioritize corporations over consumers, House Democrats are committed to fighting for affordable and sustainable energy.
That’s why I’ve joined @levin.house.gov and @casten.house.gov’s Energy Bills Relief Act to reinstate clean energy tax credits, provide financial assistance to American families, crack down on price gouging, and hold data centers accountable for their fair share.
I hear from neighbors nearly every day that the cost of living is just too high – especially when it comes to their BGE bills. Frankly, I feel it too - my BGE bill was a whopping $840 last month.
We also discussed exciting next steps on where we go from here on housing, energy resilience, cybersecurity, and so many more issues that directly impact our men and women in uniform.
This report covers my tour of every major military installation in the state, legislation we were able to get signed into law last year to support our installations, servicemembers, and military families across the state, and what we’re working on in 2026.
As the only Marylander serving on a committee or subcommittee specifically focused on defense or national security in Congress, I shared our 2025 Maryland Defense Report with leaders from MMIC and military installations across Maryland.
23 years ago, the Maryland Military Installation Council was formed to identify the infrastructure and community supports necessary to develop and expand our state’s crucial military installations – and MMIC has played a critical role in supporting our installations ever since.
I’ve signed onto a discharge petition to fund TSA, FEMA, and the Coast Guard without giving another penny to ICE and CBP without necessary guardrails. I will continue to fight for a bipartisan path forward that pays our crucial federal workers while holding ICE accountable.
But let me be clear: ICE has no place in our airports, and our essential federal workers like TSA agents should not be working without pay.
Rather than working to find a bipartisan solution to paying hardworking TSA agents, the Trump Administration has deployed ICE agents to run our airports. Currently, there are no ICE agents at BWI.
I sat down with Admiral Pierre Vandier, the Supreme Allied Commander Transformation for NATO, to do just that. We discussed the importance of our continued joint support for Ukraine and future strategic collaboration on our ever-evolving security challenges.
As the President threatens our longest-standing and successful global alliances, it has never been more important for Congress to reaffirm our commitment to our NATO allies.
As your member of Congress, I’ll always push for accountability, transparency, and oversight on your behalf.
If my office can ever be of assistance with ICE or any federal agency, you can always speak to a member of my team at (410) 832-8890.
I just left a meeting & tour of ICE Baltimore to conduct oversight of the facility. We covered many of the critical issues that you brought to our team, including: access to an attorney, access to medication & menstrual products, safety concerns, detaining people with no criminal records & more.
From NOAA data preservation to tackling invasive blue catfish, they have been a trusted partner on a wide variety of legislation I’ve worked on over the years. I sat down with their team to discuss their latest research and how we can support their excellent, evidence-backed work here in Congress.
Maryland Sea Grant is a long-standing leader in Chesapeake Bay conservation, protection, and preservation – bringing together community input and scientific expertise to support the Bay.
But after Congressional Republicans refused to extend the ACA tax credits, small business owners, veterans, and hardworking Marylanders across the board are paying more for the same care. I will always fight to strengthen the ACA, restore these tax credits, and protect your care.
