Honored to join the Puerto Rico Equality and Statehood Summit and receive both the Governor’s Medal and the Congressional Puerto Rico Statehood Champion Award.
Women have always been at the forefront of efforts to create a safer, more resilient, and more equal America. This month and every month, we need to keep standing up against attacks on women's rights and work to make equality and justice a reality for all.
It's been an honor to join the annual Black History Month Breakfast celebrations over the last 45 years, & I cherish this one especially as it was the last I'll have attended in office. I will remain committed to the fight to recognize & preserve Black History beyond February & my time in Congress.
I am proud to announce the 45th Annual Black History Month Breakfast will feature keynote speaker Dr. Eddie S. Glaude Jr., the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University. I look forward to joining Rep. Ivey and Dr. Glaude tomorrow.
Wishing a happy birthday to my good friend and colleague, @ivey.house.gov. I am glad to be your partner in representing Prince George's County and ensuring Marylanders receive the resources and support they deserve. Thank you for all you do to support Prince Georgians.
The federal government requires Americans to pay their taxes, so it ought to give them a free & easy way to do so. That's why I'm leading my colleagues in introducing new legislation to reverse the Admin's decision to end the highly successful Direct File program to help taxpayers save time & money.
I have been proud to support Job Corps throughout my career and am honored to receive their Congressional Leadership award. We'll keep working together so more of our youth can Make It In America.
Donald Trump doesn't have Americans' backs. Community leaders like Sandy Washington do. Sandy, founder and CEO of LifeStyles of Maryland, has worked tirelessly to feed, provide shelter, and find jobs for Marylanders in need. I am honored to have her join me for tonight's State of the Union address.
Tonight, we saw the ramblings of a president who is completely oblivious to the pain the American people feel. Trump did not offer any solution to the problems he promised to resolve. Instead, he continues to make them worse. Americans understand the perilous state of our union. Trump does not.
Four years ago, Putin launched his brutal, unprovoked, and criminal invasion of Ukraine. Ukrainians are fighting for democracy's survival in Europe and beyond. I urge my colleagues to sign my discharge petition and advance the Ukraine Support Act. Let us end this war on our terms, not Putin's.
I'm pleased to announce that my dear friend Sandy Washington, founder and CEO of LifeStyles of Maryland, will attend the 2026 State of the Union as my guest.
I am wishing a happy birthday to my dear friend and brother, John Lewis, who would've turned 86 today. We honor John today and every day by carrying on the fight against injustice and his work to strengthen democracy. Let us continue to make #GoodTrouble as we march on until victory is won.
Trump said that he would deport violent criminals and felons, but instead ICE has used taxpayer dollars to kill Americans, terrorize immigrants, and brutalize our communities.   House Democrats remain committed to pursuing justice and holding Trump and Noem accountable for these atrocities.
My colleagues and I appreciate the great work by the men and women responding to the sewage spill into the Potomac River, but we remain deeply concerned about its public health & environmental impacts. We call on DC Water to commit to public transparency as the response & recovery efforts continue.
