The MAGA tax bill will throw at least 17 million Americans off their health care, add $3.3 trillion to the debt and, as former Trump pal Elon Musk says, “destroy millions of jobs in America and cause immense strategic harm to our country!”
Trump’s tactics of disappearing people in America should terrify everyone who still cherishes democracy and freedom. We reject this growing authoritarian assault.
An honor to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with Rev. Dr. William J. Barber and Repairers of the Breach to denounce the GOP's catastrophic tax bill on behalf of tens of millions of Americans who will lose Medicaid, SNAP benefits and other lifeline staples.
Together with my fellow Democrats, I am determined to defend every day the Constitution and Bill of Rights—and all the programmatic achievements of democracy like Medicaid, Medicare and Social Security—until we end Trump’s reign of lawlessness and injustice.
We are all in this together—the fight of our lives—and we will work together for safe passage through this onslaught against the Constitution and the rule of law.
I’m honored to close out Pride Month with this week’s MD-08 Local Hero, Dr. Amena Johnson. Dr. Johnson is a trailblazer and bridge-builder who makes sure MoCo’s LGBTQ+ community has a seat at the table and serves as a role model for our young people.
Eager to soothe Trump’s wounded ego, the Supreme Court ended nationwide injunctions today. Trump is crowing, but this just means we’ll take our smashing wins in 4 district courts and turn them into wins in 94 district courts. People born here are citizens, period.
House and Senate interns help keep American democracy strong and vibrant. Grateful to talk with them and answer their stellar questions.
Special thanks to my interns in D.C. and Rockville for coming!
The Constitution makes clear that only Congress has the power to declare war.
Today, the right-wing justices on the anti-choice Supreme Court denied millions of South Carolinians the right to choose their doctor for physicals, cancer screenings and other health care. The war on choice is a war on women’s health.
Leader McConnell should tell that to the millions of Americans who depend on Medicaid for their health care, including more than 1 million Kentuckians—many of whom are children. If Congress listens to America, it will protect Medicaid.
Trump and his flunkies might believe he has the powers of a king, but the Constitution says otherwise.
The president must "take care that the laws be faithfully executed," not dissolved and defeated by a runaway executive.
The Constitution is not a minor inconvenience to be ignored at whim but the operating system for our government and the binding covenant of the American people.
Three years ago today, the Supreme Court destroyed Roe v. Wade. Ever since, MAGA extremists have criminalized reproductive care at every turn. My bill with @repfletcher.bsky.social protects every woman's right to cross state lines to obtain health care.
It's outrageous and scandalous that the Republicans canceled the one and only briefing they planned for Members of Congress on the war in Iran.
The Constitution makes clear that only Congress has power to declare war.
MoCo is experiencing a Heat Emergency from now through Thursday morning. Stay cool, check on your friends & family and look out for signs of heat-related illness. Check out the info below, including places to cool off and where you can find free bottled water. ⬇️
MoCo's Community Advocacy Institute creates more capacity for county residents to participate in government. This week's MD-08 Local Heroes, CAI graduate Datrina Davis and Board Chair Dr. Jeffrey Johnson, shared more about this great program.
New info for #MD08 residents currently in Israel: the State Department is planning to assist with private U.S. citizens’ departure. Complete this form if you need assistance departing Israel or the West Bank: mytravel.state.gov/s/crisis-int...
After scapegoating the LGBTQ+ community, Trump & RFK Jr. are now cutting off a lifeline that’s helped nearly 1.3 million LGBTQ+ young people get the mental health support they need. That’s dangerous.
