ICE is going after law-abiding people in airports, including those with pending green card and visa extension applications. Many of these individuals are following all of the rules, but government processing delays are causing lapses in their status.

Trump is making Americans less safe with his war in Iran. Hundreds of servicemembers injured, 18 dead, skyrocketing prices—now cyberattacks on the Homeland. The GOP needs to stand up to this lunacy and work with us to end this dangerous and unnecessary war. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/01/u...

We owe it to the families of the firefighters who lost their lives battling wildfires to conduct an investigation and get answers. With wildfires still raging across Colorado, we can't afford to wait months to learn lessons that could save lives right now. www.cpr.org/2026/07/30/f...

Americans know that the cost of prescription drugs is too high. This week the Trump administration said it is cutting Medicare Part D, further increasing costs for seniors.

Trump is torching his own AG nominee so he can preserve his sweetheart tax deal that gives his family a blank check to commit tax fraud. This President is banking billions by abusing his power. Now he’s doing everything possible to make sure he’ll never be held accountable.

Trump & Republicans' SNAP cuts have now taken food away from nearly 12,000 Maryland families with children & 36,000 Marylanders overall. They made it harder for thousands of Marylanders to put food on the table all to give billionaires & big corporations another tax cut. Shameful.

Private equity going after fire trucks makes YOUR neighborhood less safe. Not on my watch. I've got a bipartisan resolution calling on the FTC to investigate. We can't let Wall Street put public safety at risk.

Know of BLM-managed lands with limited or no public access? I passed the HUNT Act to give you a voice in improving access to public lands for hunting, fishing, and other recreation. Thanks to that law, you can nominate a parcel of land for their priority list here.

Trump wants to spend $2 billion in taxpayer dollars on payoffs for his MAGA followers—all while instituting the biggest health care cuts in history. Give me a break. We will not let it happen.

Donald Trump is going after vote by mail again – the same vote by mail system he used himself a few months ago. Nevadans deserve to have their voices heard, and I’ll keep working to ensure the Trump Admin can’t undermine that.

Trump is now saying the quiet part aloud: he’s still focused on using YOUR tax dollars for a corrupt slush fund to pay out his cronies, while doing NOTHING to help you. It’s time to pass my three bills to redirect this funding to help lower health care & food costs and invest in our law enforcement.

Trump's ignorant choice to make an enemy of one of our strongest allies is having DIRECT results on U.S. tourism—and just like the rest of his policies, it's hurting our economy. My message to Canada: Washington state continues to welcome our Canadian friends and neighbors. 🇺🇸🇨🇦

Sonya Massey trusted law enforcement to keep her safe. Instead, she lost her life at the hands of those sworn to protect and serve—an all too common tragedy for Black Americans. May we honor Sonya’s legacy by advocating for justice, accountability and a safer future for all.

Trump has no plan, no strategy, and no endgame. His reckless war with Iran has driven up prices for working families and put our service members in danger. Enough is enough.

When I offered my amendment to kill this slush fund, Republicans said we should accept Trump's word that it was dead. We knew they were wrong. This is why. Even in the middle of an illegal war, with prices rising, Trump wants to send your tax dollars to criminals & save his sweetheart tax deal.

Since JD Vance refused to meet with folks in Milwaukee to see how they run safe elections, I did. This administration’s obsession with 2020 is part of their effort to meddle and undermine the next election because Trump’s desperate to avoid accountability. I’m fighting back.
