BARC has been the foundation of our country’s excellence in agricultural research for over 100 years. Congress and the courts must block efforts to shutter BARC for the center to continue protecting public health and supporting farmers & farming in the U.S.
Cuts to conservation and green energy projects would have a severe impact on the communities they support in every corner of the country. I urge my colleagues to stand against this environmental plan in order to preserve our air, water, and protected lands.
Republicans are slashing Medicaid for millions and want everyday Americans to foot the $3.4T bill to fund tax cuts for the wealthy. The Congressional Budget Office's latest report makes it clear: the big, ugly bill will have expensive consequences for the nation and American people.
While Democrats and Republicans may not find common ground on every issue, we must take action to preserve Congress's power under Article I. I will continue working with my colleagues across the aisle to create bipartisan solutions that serve the American people.
I was glad to meet Amahyree Wells, the #MD05 Black History Month Essay Contest 2025 winner. Amahyree's writing was engaging and reflective. I commend her ability to connect racial justice & economic fairness in her essay on the impact of Black Americans in the workforce. Congratulations, Amahyree!
This month we recognize 3 years since the nationwide launch of the #988Lifeline, which has provided life-saving support & care to over 16 million Americans in crisis. I will continue working to protect this vital resource & improve access to mental health & substance abuse services in MD & beyond.

When Donald Trump and House Republicans forced through their Big, Ugly Law, they claimed it would help American families. But gutting Medicaid is devastating to children, seniors and families. @elfreth.house.gov speaks out against the largest cut to health care in American history.
Today we mark 5 years without my friend & brother, John Lewis, amid an attack on the civil rights that he fought to secure and protect. This poster outside of my office is a reminder to remain committed to furthering John's mission to achieve equality & justice for all by getting into #GoodTrouble.
Great to meet with Ambassador of the EU to the United States Jovita Neliupšienė & discuss our shared values of freedom & democracy globally. I look forward to our work together to ensure Ukraine continues to receive the support it needs to win this war & to strengthen the U.S. and EU's partnership.
