Marylanders don't want Trump’s ICE on our streets or their facilities in our backyards. A few weeks ago, I joined hundreds in Washington Co to say that loud & clear. I'm glad to see @oagmaryland.bsky.social is acting to block ICE’s construction of a detention center in Washington County.

I’m proud to bring Dani Bensky, New Yorker and survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse, as my guest to the State of the Union to demand the truth. Dani has turned unimaginable pain into unrelenting advocacy. Survivors deserve justice. Trump must end the cover-up and release the full Epstein files—NOW.

Trump’s illegal, reckless tariffs ripped off the American people for billions of dollars. Working families and small businesses deserve a refund.

The money this administration made from Trump's illegal tariffs is YOUR money. That's why I co-sponsored legislation to refund the full $175 billion in tariff revenue back to the American people. It belongs to your family, your businesses, and your community.

Today, I filed an amicus brief to combat Visa and Mastercard’s attempts to hollow out the Durbin Amendment, which prevents exorbitant debit interchange fees. Consumers deserve a debit card system that is affordable and fair, and we cannot allow Wall Street to add extra costs and line their pockets.

I’ve been to Trump’s State of the Unions before and really don’t need to go again. He uses his speeches to pillory his political enemies and spread lies – not to mention they're long and boring.

High housing costs hit everyone – renters, first-time buyers, and growing families who need a bigger home. But they hit working families hardest. Any solution worth pursuing has to start there.
- AK
Higher prices and more uncertainty, with the American people paying the price. Instead of working to lower costs for Americans, the Administration is doubling down and continuing to push more tariffs — hurting our small businesses, farmers, and our economy in the process.

Remember Donald Trump's promise to "drain the swamp"? Well, it looks like he's embraced the swamp instead. There are now former lobbyists in senior roles all over his administration who could be helping their former clients. I'm calling for an investigation.

Trump’s chaotic tariff policies have already been rebuked by Democrats, Republicans, and even the Supreme Court. They are a tax on Americans, driving prices higher for families. @democrats.senate.gov will block any attempt to extend Trump’s tariffs when they expire this summer.

You won’t find cleaner waters than the Boundary Waters. Think endless streams of water filled with bass, walleye, trout and northern pike – total wilderness, only accessible by canoe. Why would we let a Chilean mining company pollute these public lands, take our minerals and ship them off to China?

I will vote NO on Trump’s tariffs when they come up for a vote in the Senate. Why on earth would I support a new 15% tax on virtually everything you buy? Things are expensive enough to begin with.

Trump thought he could quietly put in place a near-total abortion ban for our veterans—but not on my watch. The VA rule is a betrayal of women who have put their lives on the line for our country. I'm demanding the VA reverse course ASAP. plus.cq.com/doc/news-840...

Trump said he would end the war in Ukraine on Day 1. Instead, he's sided with Putin at every turn, prolonging the war & throwing the Ukrainian people under the bus. Zelenskyy is right to stand up for his people & call out Trump's double standard, which is making peace harder.

Canceled meetings. Incomplete, confusing, uninformed guidance. Conspiracy theories galore. Members of this administration tried to tell me Secretary Kennedy would improve Americans' confidence in vaccines, but given their record, it's no surprise that confidence continues to plummet.

The only thing Trump delivered last year was higher prices. In NM, it was an extra $1,355 for the average household. I'll keep fighting to lower costs because affordability isn't a made-up word. It’s the difference between saving for a vacation and moving in with your in-laws.

With DHS moving to open secretive facilities across the country and refusing to answer our questions, locals are right to be concerned. In response, I'm introducing a new bill to strengthen local oversight over proposed ICE facilities. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
