Rep. April McClain Delaney@RepAprilDelaney·
Happy Independence Day! Today, we’re celebrating 250 years of America’s history—and the communities that helped shape it. Maryland’s 6th District is truly “America in miniature,” where our nation’s history comes to life—from the Revolutionary War and the C&O Canal to Civil War battlefields and the communities that continue to shape our future. Over the coming weeks, I’ll be highlighting historic sites across the district that tell America’s story. I hope you’ll follow along as we celebrate 250 years of our nation’s history together.

My thoughts are with the families of the two U.S. service members killed in Iran’s attack, and with the loved ones of the service member still missing as they await answers.

Trump dragged America into an illegal war with no congressional authorization, no coherent strategy, and no exit plan to end it. This must end now. Congress must assert its Article I powers regarding declaring war and funding this war.

Six years ago today, we lost Congressman John Lewis, but his legacy lives on. I was honored to join him on his annual pilgrimage to Selma with my husband John—an experience I’ll never forget. We honor him by getting into “good trouble”: defending voting rights, protecting our democracy, and never giving up the fight for justice.

Stay safe out there! Today's AQI across Maryland is above 200 from the smoke from the wildfires raging across Canada, making it very unhealthy to be outside. Everyone should limit their activity outside if they can help it and wear a fitted N95 mask if able to help keep your lungs healthy from the smoke. Seniors, children, pregnant adults, and those with respiratory issues should take extra care to remain inside and away from the smoke.

⚠️ MD AIR QUALITY ALERT ⚠️A severe multi-day air pollution event impacts MD through Saturday due to intense heat, ozone, and thick wildfire smoke. Before you head outside, check your local forecast here: airnow.gov or mde.maryland.gov/.../AirQuality…

Tonight's speech is not about election security—it's about laying the groundwork to question any result Donald Trump doesn't like. Our elections are administered by dedicated public servants, protected by strong safeguards, and deserve the confidence of the American people. We should be strengthening trust in our democracy, not deliberately undermining it for political gain.

A desperate and hoarse Trump lies to the nation about the 2018 midterms and 2020 elections being rigged in an attempt to take over elections ahead of the 2026 midterms

Trump's election speech tonight isn't about the election he lost six years ago. It's about casting doubt on the election he's afraid to lose this November. That's why I introduced the Democracy Without Intimidation Act—to make clear that no president can use the military or federal law enforcement to intimidate voters or interfere with our elections. The American people—not politicians—decide our elections.

Trump: Congress must pass the save America act. How easy is that to do, unless you want to cheat and your candidates are so pathetic…

Our country must continue to invest in the scientists, inspectors, and public health professionals who keep our food supply safe—not dismantling the systems that protect our collective health and support our farm economy.  Working families need confidence that the food on their table is safe and have trust in our government to protect their well being.

This is what happens when ideology replaces competence. DOGE cuts weakened our public health infrastructure, Cyclospora reporting became optional, and now cases have spread across 31 states. Americans shouldn't have to worry that reckless political decisions are putting their health at risk.
Headquarters@HQNewsNow

Cyclosporiasis, the parasite causing the current explosive diarrhea outbreak, is at a level 20x higher than its yearly average. This comes just 1 year after the Trump admin removed a cyclospora tracking mandate from the 'Foodborne Disease Active Surveillance Network.'

Just days after the death of Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, another person was killed by ICE in Biddeford, Maine. This pattern of lawlessness and impunity cannot continue. No body cameras. Another life lost. ICE must be held accountable, and the American people deserve the truth. Accountability cannot wait. nbcnews.com/news/us-news/b…

Nonpartisan, independent assistance from the EAC helps our communities run secure and efficient elections. Firing EAC commissioners just months before the midterm elections is just another step to inject political interference into our democratic processes. We should be strengthening trust in our elections, not undermining it.
Headquarters@HQNewsNow

Trump has just fired the 3 remaining members of the Election Assistance Commission. This leaves the independent, bipartisan group without leadership ahead of midterm elections.

First Renée Good. Then Alex Pretti. Now Lorenzo Salgado Araujo. How many more lives before there is accountability? ICE has not publicly presented any evidence to support their account of this tragic event. Lorenzo's family deserves the truth -- I'm calling for a full, transparent investigation by both federal and state authorities.
The Washington Post@washingtonpost

Exclusive: Three men who were alongside Lorenzo Salgado Araujo, who was killed in an immigration operation, said a federal officer fired at them almost immediately after exiting his vehicle and that at no point did the driver veer in his direction. wapo.st/4h6Rcq9

When disaster strikes, Americans deserve a President—not a petty politician settling scores. After Western Maryland’s devastating floods, Trump denied FEMA aid to Maryland while neighboring West Virginia received assistance. And now, he’s doing it again! Federal disaster assistance should be awarded irrespective of party, ZIP code, or circumstance—that is putting America First. Sadly, Trump is once again throwing a toddler-like tantrum, with no regard for the plight of struggling families. politico.com/news/2026/07/0…

Another reminder that President Trump is not above the law. Today’s ruling rejected his attempt to put his personal interests ahead of one of America’s great public institutions. That’s a win for accountability and the rule of law.
ABC News Politics@ABCPolitics

A panel of D.C. Circuit appeals court judges has rejected a request by President Trump and fellow members of the Kennedy Center's board to stay a lower court's order that Trump's name be removed from the building. abcnews.link/i69vJf3

Trump shouldn’t govern based on personal grievances or because he didn’t get his way. It’s reckless and irresponsible to threaten to cut off trade with Spain in a temper tantrum-like tweet. Think of the U.S. companies impacted and the ever-growing loss of respect from our EU allies. Grow up, Mr. President! thehill.com/homenews/admin…

As the only MD Representative on the Ag Committee, I've been fighting to stop the closure of BARC and other USDA facilities, protect our federal workers, and continue valuable research that supports our farmers. Now, I am proud to support the labor unions taking on the Trump administrations unlawful efforts to reorganize USDA without Congressional approval.  BARC's dedicated employees protects our food supply and our farmers' livelihoods. democracyforward.org/news/press-rel…

Across Maryland's Sixth District, I hear the same thing: families want lower costs and more affordable housing. Proud to join my New Dems colleagues today to call on President Trump to stop playing politics and sign the bipartisan ROAD to Housing Act.
