The President does not have the power to single-handedly deploy the National Guard against American citizens in a time of non-emergency.

Leaving the House floor tonight, I wanted to take a minute to explain why I voted against the Republican spending bill. While I am glad this government shutdown is finally coming to a close, the work to lower your health care costs is far from over.
Despite the legislation completely ignoring the looming health care crisis for tens of millions of Americans, I will continue the fight to lower healthcare costs for Marylanders everyday of this Congress. Please see above for my full statement on my vote against the Senate Amendment to H.R. 5371.
And Congress will finally get back to delivering for the American people.
As the longest shutdown in history finally comes to an end, I’m grateful federal employees won’t have to worry about their next paycheck, parents who rely on SNAP won’t have to worry about meals for their kids, passengers won’t have to worry about their next flight…
I’m looking forward to working with Congresswoman Grijalva, and most importantly, seeing the people of Arizona get the representation our Constitution promised them.
This was long overdue. Arizonans elected Congresswoman Adelita Grijalva to represent them over 50 days ago – now, after cancelling votes for seven weeks straight, Speaker Johnson has finally sworn her in.
Thank you to Pastor Matthew, First Lady Rhesa Quainoo, Bishop Davis, Pastor Robin, the volunteers, members of the Celebration Church, & everyone who donated to make this grocery store possible – your generosity shows that when we come together, we can all play a part in serving the most vulnerable.
With so many neighbors struggling to put food on the table throughout this shutdown and with the upcoming holiday season, I’m so grateful I could be at the grand re-opening to celebrate another resource to help our neighbors on their hardest days.
Exciting news: Columbia’s own Celebration Church just re-opened its free grocery store! Since 1973, the Celebration Church has been a pillar of the Columbia community and beyond – helping our neighbors through their steadfast dedication to public service.
Thank you for organizing an incredible Veterans Day Ceremony and your dedication to honoring our veterans and their family members for nearly five decades.
Located right here in Crownsville, the Maryland Veterans Cemetery has interred more than 28,000 Maryland veterans and their dependents who lost their lives – many in service to our country.
Throughout this month, my team has been collecting stories from veterans here in the Third District for the Library of Congress’ Veterans History Project. Thank you to the nearly 20 veterans who were willing to share your stories and for your dedication to serving our country.
Our District is home to more than 50,000 veterans, and as the daughter and granddaughter of veterans, I know how important their service is to their families and our nation as a whole.
From honoring our veterans at the Howard County Veterans Day Parade to introducing bipartisan legislation to evaluate and pave the way for emerging therapy options for veterans living with the effects of PTSD – I’m committed to fighting for those who fought for our country here in Congress.
🇺🇲 Each year on Veterans Day, we recognize and honor the countless sacrifices made by the brave men and women who defended the country we love and call home. Our veterans have selflessly sacrificed for our country – the least we can do is honor their service not just with our words, but with action.
My position throughout this shutdown has always been that we can and must reach a bipartisan agreement to reopen the government, protect our federal workforce, and protect the health care of millions of Americans. The Senate deal doesn’t do that. Read my full statement above.
Our federal workers, military, families who rely on SNAP, and government contractors have borne the brunt of this government shutdown. I am grateful for their service and for all the ways that our community has come together and stepped up to protect our most vulnerable neighbors.
U.S. Marine Corps’ 250th birthday means a time to honor our Marines whose determination, bravery, & innovation have been crucial to defending & serving our country throughout history. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I am proud to represent and honor our Marines on Capitol Hill.
It’s never too early to learn how to get involved, and I’m so glad I could be a part of their journey to becoming the next generation of leaders!
