Happy Pride, Howard County!🏳️🌈 This weekend, #TeamElfreth joined Old Ellicott City’s 5th Annual Pride Festival to celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community and share our office’s resources.
🇺🇸 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.
But without adequate training, these reassignments will exacerbate wait times – and they do nothing to solve the agency's critical staffing shortages.
After cutting 74,000 employees at Social Security Assistance last year, the Trump Administration is now reassigning thousands of SSA employees away from their primary, essential duties.
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.
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.
If you’re a student in #MD03, be sure to apply by Wednesday, June 10th and make your voice heard!
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.
🧡 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.
See above for my full statement.
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.
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.
As the daughter of two civil servants and the representative of 45,000 federal workers, I will continue to fight the President’s attempts to politicize the civil service in Congress. We cannot go back.
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.
