🇺🇸 Please join me in congratulating #MD03’s 31 exceptional service academy appointees on this tremendous accomplishment! Their appointments are a testament to years of dedication and hard work, and I am so proud that they will be applying their talents to serve our country.
I’ve joined @scanlon.house.gov, Rep. John Larson, and over 70 of my Democratic colleagues in demanding answers on the impact of these staffing cuts and what exactly is being done to ensure the 73.9 million retirees relying on Social Security get the benefits they deserve.
As a member of @demwomencaucus.bsky.social, I’m committed to safeguarding access to this crucial form of care, so all our neighbors can continue having the freedom to make the best decision for their health and futures.
61 years ago today, with Griswold v. Connecticut, the Supreme Court expanded health care options and reproductive rights for millions. Birth control remains one of the most fundamental, safe, effective, and accessible forms of reproductive health care in our country.
The 61st anniversary of Griswold v Connecticut “We deal with a right of privacy older than the Bill of Rights— older than our political parties, older than our school system.” - Justice William O. Douglas
It’s the sacrifice and heroism of those like Sergeant Polyniak that laid the foundation for the Allied victory in Europe. His story reminds us of the unwavering bravery of our servicemembers, the importance of learning from our past, & the undeniable strength of our global alliances, including NATO.
On the 82nd Anniversary of D-Day, we honor the thousands of troops who fought to defend a world free of tyranny. One of those troops was Marylander Sergeant John Polyniak – who served in one of the first units to land on Omaha Beach.
There are only a few more days to submit a video to the #MD03 America 250 Contest 🇺🇲 Our Founders started this radical experiment of self-governance – and generations of Americans have not only lived up to that vision but expanded who can participate over time.
Only a few days left to apply! Maryland Third Congressional District’s America 250 Video Contest. Submit a video by June 10th @11:59 PM
🧡 Today we are marking the start of #WearOrange Weekend, a time when communities across the country come together to remember those lost to senseless gun violence. Here in Congress, I’m committed to doing my part to pass commonsense gun safety legislation and end this epidemic once and for all.
After a year-long tour of every Maryland military installation, countless meetings with servicemembers, local partners, military alliances, & Pentagon officials, & 14 hours of debate fighting to improve the bill, I voted against advancing the FY27 National Defense Authorization Act out of Committee.
Following a year-long tour of every military installation in Maryland, countless meetings with servicemembers, local partners, military alliances, and Pentagon officials, and 14 hours of debate spent fighting to improve this bill, I ultimately voted against advancing the FY27 National Defense Authorization Act out of the Armed Services Committee. 

I was glad to see this year’s NDAA deliver a much-needed pay raise to our servicemembers, billions of dollars to support our long-standing global alliances, collective bargaining protections for our civilian DoD employees, the removal of Confederate names of bases, and investments in bipartisan priorities like research and energy resilience. I spent hours crafting and advancing provisions in the legislation to solve housing shortages, expand child care access, modernize shipbuilding, improve the quality of health care, expand critical research to meet our readiness goals, and deliver solutions that make it easier for our servicemembers and their families to not just get by, but thrive, as they serve our country. 

Despite these significant wins, there was simply too much left undone in this bill. As this President continues his unjustified war in Iran, putting servicemembers at risk and causing gas prices to skyrocket, the American people are looking to Congress for real accountability. I could not in good conscience vote to hand the Department of Defense over a trillion dollars – an unprecedented budget – to continue this undefined and unsustainable war as families back home struggle to make ends meet. To provide these much-needed guardrails and oversight on Secretary Hegseth and the Department of Defense, I will continue to work with my colleagues to strengthen and improve this legislation as it moves to the House floor.
As the daughter of two civil servants and the representative of over 45,000 federal employees, I will always stand up for the collective bargaining rights of civil servants. Good news: the amendment passed!
We’re in the 13th hour of debate on the NDAA, but I knew I had to speak in favor of @norcross.house.gov’s amendment to protect and restore the rights of the federal employees who protect our national security and serve the American people every day.
Our nation did away with the spoils system in 1883 because our civil servants are meant to serve the American people – not the partisan wishes of a President. This Executive Order reclassifies nearly 8,000 senior policymakers and strips them of their civil service protections.
We will not stand by as this Administration attempts to interfere with the fundamental rights of our servicemembers and all our neighbors, which is why I spoke in support of @goodlander.house.gov’s amendment to protect the independence of our press.
