The U.S. has been a leader in science and public health for decades until the Trump Admin purged NIH, the CDC, and the FDA. Join me and @democrats-appropriations.house.gov at 9:30 a.m. as we demand answers from Secretary Kennedy on cuts to lifesaving research & access to vital services.
Use of the appropriations process to punish the judiciary for unfavorable rulings isn’t what our founders had in mind. I joined @pocan.house.gov, @bishop.house.gov, and @ivey.house.gov to call on Republicans to reject the recent assaults on the rule of law.
I am relieved to hear that Edan Alexander is on his way home after 580 days in Hamas captivity. I will keep working to ensure the U.S. and Israel fulfills the mission to bring every hostage home & end Hamas' rule over Gaza. I wish Edan and his family continued strength.
Maryland families and federal employees have been disproportionately affected by Republicans' cuts to essential services. Team Maryland will continue working against the Trump Administration's attacks to ensure the well-being of Marylanders and our nation. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...
I applaud the National Park Service for paying tribute to those who bravely escaped slavery with 5 Maryland historical site additions to the National Underground Railroad Network to Freedom Program. We must continue the fight to preserve our nation's history & reflect on how far we still have to go.
Happy Mother’s Day to all the mothers in Maryland’s Fifth District and across the country. Thank you for all the love you give and the hard work you do for your families and our communities.
Thank you to all who joined us for the 44th Annual Service Academies & College ROTC Showcase. It was great to see so many #MD05 students that are eager to defend our country and serve our nation in uniform. I wish them much luck, and I look forward to meeting students throughout the process.
My friend Dr. Carla Hayden is a patriot who worked hard to improve the @librarycongress.bsky.social's efficiency and preserve American history. It is disappointing that Trump cut her historic tenure so shamefully short. I thank Dr. Hayden for her extraordinary service.
If Ukraine loses, America loses. We cannot turn our back on our allies and the world to appease dictators. Let's stand up for freedom, law, and justice. Let’s stand with the courageous Ukrainians as they fight against the Russian aggressor. hoyer.house.gov/media/press-...
Looking forward to the 44th Annual Service Academy & College ROTC Showcase tonight at 6:00 p.m. and seeing representatives from U.S. Service Academies inspire #MD05 youth to continue the legacy of service. Click here to register for tonight's showcase: t.co/5sLBCMinrK
LOCATION CHANGE: My office’s Service Academies Showcase will take place at the Center for Performing Arts at Prince George’s Community College in Largo. (301 Largo Road, MD, 2077). We look forward to seeing all the students and their families on Thursday, May 8th!

On today's Democratic Daily Download, @repjahanahayes.bsky.social explains how Republicans are trying to cut $230 billion from food assistance. House Democrats are fighting back with the Hands Off Medicaid and SNAP Act to protect these basic needs programs.
Maryland is home to over 668,000 small businesses, yet Trump's tariffs threaten millions of small business owners & the communities they serve. During #NationalSmallBusinessWeek, let's show our appreciation for MD05 small businesses and ensure they have the tools they need to get ahead.

The Trump Admin purged thousands of IRS staffers & gave DOGE access to sensitive taxpayer data at the height of last tax season, disrupting the agency's ability to provide customer service & timely refunds in order to enable the wealthy to get out of paying what they owe.
The loss of over $98 million in @usedgov.bsky.social funding would devastate efforts to address pandemic learning loss in MD schools. I joined @alsobrooks.senate.gov & the Maryland Democratic Delegation to urge Secretary Linda McMahon to ensure our state receives this vital funding.
I asked Trump’s Treasury Secretary whether Trump’s policies have pushed us into a recession. His answer does little to dispel Americans’ anxiety over the economic chaos coming out of the White House.
The Trump Admin's staff + budget cuts and DOGE's infiltration at the IRS does little to ease hardworking Americans' economic concerns. Today I'm asking US Treasury Sec. Bessent about Trump's plan to support taxpayers and lower costs. Join me and @democrats-appropriations.house.gov:
