It is not enough for Democrats to be against Trump. We must be clear about what we will fight FOR. And it is certainly not enough to return to the pre-Trump status quo. It’s time to shake things up by mobilizing behind bold ideas and an aggressive agenda.

One year ago today, I met Kilmar Abrego Garcia after the Trump Admin illegally deported him to a gulag in El Salvador. At the time there were many, even in my party, who criticized me for making the trip. I hope we’ve all learned it’s always right to stand up for the Constitution.

Yesterday, Senate Democrats forced another vote on a War Powers Resolution to end Trump & Netanyahu’s war with Iran. Senate Republicans blocked it. Their refusal to be anything but a rubber stamp for this unhinged president is endangering our troops, Americans & the world.

If you’re working hard every day, and your paycheck is just enough to cover your cost of living expenses, then you should be able to keep more of what you earn. The Working Americans’ Tax Cut Act makes this a reality.

Glad to see so many Marylanders have kept up the pressure against an ICE mass detention warehouse in Washington County. We must continue to stay vigilant & ensure Trump’s ICE & their lawlessness stay off our streets & out of our communities. apnews.com/article/ice-wa…

This week, I: ➡️Secured $3M+ in federal funding for local community projects in Carroll County ➡️Pushed Trump and the FAA to address BWI flight noise and pollution for local residents ➡️Delivered $4M for senior housing and a youth center in Frederick County (2/2)

This week’s news has been rightfully dominated by an unhinged president threatening massive war crimes. I’m fighting back against Trump every day, but I’m never losing sight of why I ran for office: to deliver results for Marylanders. (1/2)

Congressional Republicans won’t act unless they’re forced to. So, we need to force their hand. The American people do NOT support Trump’s illegal war in Iran. If Republicans won’t stand up to Donald Trump, it’s past time we vote them out.

Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are lying to the American people, and it cost 13 American service members their lives, injured many more, killed thousands of civilians, and only makes Americans less safe. Congress needs to end this war, NOW.

Trump’s press conference yesterday proved once again that he is unfit to be President. He’s continuing to double down on his threats of war crimes against the Iranian people from the weekend. His words may be everywhere, but we cannot normalize them.

Congratulations to @ZohranKMamdani and all the New Yorkers who overcame the hateful and bigoted attacks against him. Those who funded and participated in these attacks should be ashamed. I look forward to working with Zohran to defend New Yorkers against a lawless president.

Congrats to @MikieSherrill in New Jersey! Together we'll keep fighting back against this lawless Trump Administration and standing up for Marylanders, New Jerseyans, and Americans across the country.

Congrats to @SpanbergerForVA on her win tonight in Virginia! I'm ready to keep working with her and our partners across the Potomac to protect Virginians and Marylanders from Donald Trump's attacks on our states and our democracy.

Our country won’t fix itself. It’s up to all of us to stand up to this lawless president, defend our democracy, and make clear that the Democratic Party will take on big-money, powerful special interests to fight for working people and the common good.

From Maryland to Iowa and all across the country, patriotic Americans are standing up against this lawless president — and calling on Democrats to fight back harder against powerful special interests and for the common good. Watch my full remarks at the Polk County Steak Fry:

Flipping steaks and flipping seats!🥩🗳️ Great to be in Iowa with 500 fired-up Democrats ready to hold this lawless president accountable, revitalize our party & take back Congress in ‘26. It’ll take all of us — and @iowademocrats are helping lead the charge. Let’s get to work!

Congrats to @April4Congress on the win! Looking forward to welcoming her along with @AlsobrooksForMD, @SarahForMD and @JohnnyOJr to the Maryland Delegation.

Every vote must be counted!

Congratulations, Senator-elect Angela Alsobrooks! It was clear from the beginning that you were the right choice for Maryland, and I'm glad Maryland voters overwhelmingly agreed. I look forward to welcoming you to the Senate & working together for the people of our great state!
