The brutal handcuffing of Senator Padilla is an affront to democracy. I’m joining House Democrats to march to Senator Thune’s office and to demand that he protect his Colleagues from this out-of-control authoritarian onslaught.

Trump’s authoritarians are spoiling for a fight. Americans should not stop peacefully and powerfully speaking truth and defending democracy and freedom.
Millions of pounds of food are thrown out every year by pet suppliers. I’m reaching across the aisle to help deliver food to hungry shelter dogs and cats.
Congress, let's stop being dogmatic and pass the bipartisan BARK Act!
Neither Trump nor Hegseth can accept "Bribe Force One," the Qatari jumbo jet grift gift. A present "of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State" without congressional approval is unlawful.
They're both on notice.
Today we honored the memories of Yaron and Sarah, who embodied the hope for peace and healing. May their memories continue to be a blessing to their loved ones.
No, RFK Jr., sacking the best public health experts in America won’t ensure “the safest possible vaccines.” It will only make America sicker.
Americans know scapegoating when we see it.
Authoritarians target, vilify and demonize small minority groups to whip up negative emotions and mask their own programs.
It's up to the people to reject sinister efforts to dehumanize and stigmatize transgender Americans.
Authoritarians love corruption and fear accountability. The arrest of long-time human rights defender Ruth López is another chilling attack on democracy by Bukele’s regime. Free Ruth NOW.
Enjoyed a glorious afternoon visiting with my wonderful constituents & listening to awesome music at WOODMOORstock. Lots of federal workers here hanging tough through a dark time—they’ll still be contributing to America long after Elon Musk & Donald Trump have been sent packing.
From Maryland's beautiful Eighth Congressional District to the world, I'm wishing a blessed Eid al-Adha to everyone celebrating. During this holy feast, we pray for community, light and peace. Eid Mubarak!
During Gun Violence Awareness Month, we say HELL NO to the constant ravages of mass shootings against our people. We must treat our national gun emergency as a public health crisis and a civic emergency.
This week’s MD-08 Local Hero Marsha DeWeese shows her profound love for cats volunteering with the Animal Welfare League of Montgomery County and its excellent Chompers Pet Food Bank. Thank you, Marsha, for your dedication to our community and exemplary care for animals.
Under our Constitution we have no kings, no queens, no emperors, no lords, no serfs, no slaves—just We the People. And those who aspire and attain to public office are nothing but the servants of the people.
My statement after voting in favor of the SUPPORT Act:
To preserve our oceans, the waterways and the vibrant ecosystems they support, we need NOAA.
We must defend government scientists and researchers against the Trump Administration's full-blown assault on science, government and environmental laws.
Today I introduced the BARK Act to help America feed hungry shelter animals. We need everyone involved to get this bi-paw-tisan bill passed into law, including from our furry friends. We’re in dogged pursuit of passage this Congress.
Send good pet pictures below ⬇️
Democrats, Republicans and independents alike can agree that shelter animals deserve dignity and care.
The BARK Act will feed the growing population of hungry pets. Let's get it done!
And thanks, Montgomery County Humane Society, for the assist.
Trump once attacked crypto as a danger. Now he’s made billions from it.
His meme coin allows any foreign state, King, pardon seeker or criminal org to secretly put money directly in his pocket.
And Trump’s SEC mysteriously dropped 13 investigations against crypto fraudsters.
