In a time when politics seems to be more divided than ever, when many of us feel more powerless than ever, & when civil rights & voting rights are under attack nearly everyday by this President, we can all look to Dr. King’s words & legacy to persist, lean in, & continue standing up for our values.
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s unwavering vision for a better future changed the course of our nation’s history.
I’m committed to upholding positive state progress on this issue that reflects the voices of communities who know their communities best.
Yet, new legislation proposed by House Republicans would allow oil companies to abandon their rigs and infrastructure after operations – without a clear understanding of how this would harm our ecosystems and potentially override state conservation laws.
Maryland has seen firsthand the conservation efforts required to ensure abandoned vessels, rigs, and pipelines are not harming our delicate ecosystems.
The Trump Administration’s decision to stop considering health benefits when looking to regulate deadly air pollutants goes against not only expert guidance but the EPA’s mission to protect human health and the environment.
Polluted air doesn’t respect arbitrary political boundaries or suddenly cause fewer cases of asthma because of who is in the White House. Public health and strong environmental protections go hand in hand.
If you need assistance with a federal agency, including DHS or ICE, please give us a call at (410) 832-8890 or visit elfreth.house.gov/casework-assistance/help-federal-agency.
With increased ICE activity in Maryland and across the country, today’s edition of Sarah Explains It All is a reminder to you of one of the many ways that my office is here to help you.
As a friendly reminder, my office is always ready to help if you’re having issues with a passport application. Visit elfreth.house.gov/casework-assistance/help-federal-agency to start the process.
That’s why I’ve joined Congressman Joyce and @repdean.bsky.social on bipartisan legislation to reverse this policy and ensure local libraries can continue providing critical services to our communities.
Despite providing some of these services for over 15 years, there has been a recent change to State Department policies that will prohibit libraries from providing passport processing and application services.
For most of our neighbors, their local libraries are pillars of their communities – providing everything from educational opportunities to passport services and more.
I’ve joined the Caucus and am committed to working in Congress to support these promising innovations for future generations.
Thank you to Co-Chair @beyer.house.gov for inviting me to the bipartisan Fusion Energy Caucus reception to recognize the incredible experts and advocates – like MIT’s late Nuno Loureiro and scientist Rein Beeuwkes, whose work with fusion energy has paved the way for this new clean energy technology.
As we look to expand clean, renewable energy options for the future, my colleagues and I are considering every option possible – including fusion energy!
I’m committed to working with my colleagues in Congress on both sides of the aisle to exercise our oversight of the Executive Branch and ensure more damage isn’t done to our crucial global alliances.
It is a deeply disheartening state of affairs that we are now threatening and isolating our most crucial and longstanding allies – and I firmly believe that only Putin is benefiting from this chaos.
These actions also demonstrate that Greenland does not need to be part of the U.S. for our NATO allies, principally Denmark, to continuously step up for our mutual security interests, as they have repeatedly since World War II.
