Nationally, pet stores discard millions of pounds of leftover inventory every year, including perfectly good food, leashes and crates.
I’m introducing the BARK Act to ensure pet suppliers can donate extra food, blankets and other essentials to the rising population of shelter animals in need.

No matter who occupies the White House, love must trump hate.
This Pride Month, we celebrate LGBTQ+ Americans who make a difference in MD-08 and around the world, and we recommit to fighting to make democracy work for all our people.
Now even someone on ketamine, mushrooms and Ecstasy can see it.
It’s TACO Tuesday on Capitol Hill! I hear the White House celebrates every day.
MAGA and DOGE are engaged in a hostile takeover of the political institutions and programmatic achievements of American democracy. We must defend democracy and the progress we have made with it.
This outrageous violation of the work of Congressman Nadler’s District Office and frightful mistreatment of his staff cannot stand. We are demanding a hearing on why this happened and who is responsible. They must be held accountable.
John Dewey said that the only solution to the ills of democracy is more democracy, and what we are suffering from today is not democracy but all the impediments and obstacles to it—and all the attacks on it.
Jewish Americans suffer another horrific violent antisemitic attack. Sending solidarity & support to the victims & to everyone grappling with fear in the face of more utterly indefensible violence. There is no justification for hate violence and terror.

Sending warm greetings on Shavuot to everyone commemorating this holy day in Maryland and around the world. Chag Sameach!
The GOP's billionaires’ tax bill pulls the plug on Medicaid coverage for millions of Americans, including thousands of Maryland families.
The Senate must block this attack on the American people.
Chief Manger, we’re grateful for your years of unflagging leadership to the U.S. Capitol Police and the Montgomery County Police Department and for your devotion to guarding public safety. You’ve been a great champion for police officers and all the people you serve.
These legislators should be forced to vote on each Commandment separately—not an omnibus package—& no one should be allowed to vote for a Commandment they've violated lest they violate the Third Commandment. Or: they should respect the Establishment Clause & get back to work.
Because of Trump's dismantling of USAID, 60,000 metric tons of food that were bound to serve the poorest kids on earth are now on the brink of rotting in America. Our anti-hunger groups are ready to spring into action.
What say you, Mr. President?
On Memorial Day, we honor members of the military who paid the ultimate sacrifice for their devotion and service to American democracy. We will never forget their service and will honor them by following them in their constitutional patriotism however and whenever we can.
Under the Trump Tax Scheme, wages fall, economic growth flatlines and the deficit balloons. Don’t believe me? Ask Trump’s alma mater.

Another big win in court. No, Donald, you can’t play with the lives of foreign students by arbitrarily revoking their visas and, no, you can’t treat universities like pawns in your Gangster State and retaliate against them for defending themselves.
Today's MD-08 Local Hero is MCPS Teacher of the Year Megan Campbell. Megan has dedicated more than 20 years to music instruction, growing a robust new generation of musicians in our community. Thank you, Megan, for your creative devotion to beautiful music and our young people.
Cutting this program puts young people’s lives at risk. LGBTQIA+ Americans deserve equal care and support, not gratuitous insult and injury. We’ll keep fighting on their behalf against RFK Jr. and all others who have lost moral touch.
This intolerable attack on Harvard’s independence and academic freedom is plainly government retaliation for Harvard’s speech standing up for itself and the rule of law. America must rally to the side of Harvard and its students in court, in Congress and in our communities.
