Good news: it looks like Virginian’s push to add toll lanes is dead—at least for now. We worked with Prince George’s County elected and community leaders and our unity made a difference. But we have to remain vigilant.

President Trump needs to focus on the job at hand: reopening the government, negotiating with Democrats, and fixing the healthcare mess that the House and Senate Republicans created with the trillion dollars of cuts, and extending the ACA tax credits.

Yesterday, a federal judge blocked Trump’s mass layoffs during the shutdown, a major win for federal workers. These weren’t just “cuts” — they were an attack on public servants.
I’ll keep fighting to protect jobs and hold this administration accountable.

Millions of Americans are about to see their health care premiums double because Republicans are letting vital tax credits expire. It’s part of a pattern — making it harder for working families to afford the basics. I’m fighting to stop these cuts and make care affordable.

At today’s @cbc.house.gov press conference, I joined my colleagues to speak out on Louisiana v. Callais. This Supreme Court case could strip Black communities of fair representation and weaken the Voting Rights Act. We’re not backing down. The right to vote — and to be represented — is on the line.

@housedemocrats.bsky.social are here to work. While Republicans play politics with people’s health care, we’re fighting to reopen the government, protect working families, and lower costs. We’re ready to negotiate — but we won’t back down from doing what’s right for the American people.

Families are seeing their health care premiums skyrocket—some doubling, others quadrupling.

This is the Republican health care crisis.

Speaker Mike Johnson is spending more time spreading lies about Democrats wanting health care for undocumented immigrants than helping vulnerable Louisianans access care. We need leadership that shows up for working families — not political theater.

My heart is with the federal workers who’ve been fired over the last few days because of Russ Vought’s reckless agenda. These public servants kept our government running, and they deserve better. Democrats are fighting back to protect their jobs, their health care, and the people they serve.

Republicans shut down the government—and now they want to take away your health care.

Last week, I joined faith and Democratic leaders at a prayer vigil to stand up for families who can’t afford to lose coverage. We’re fighting to reopen government and protect care.

Millions of Americans across the country are now receiving notices with massive premium increases because of the Republican health care crisis. In many cases, premiums are doubling on working families. I want to hear from you. Share your health care story with me: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Our federal prosecutors should be focused on holding criminals to account, not settling scores for the President.

As a former prosecutor who cares deeply about our justice system, I am deeply troubled by the Trump Administration’s efforts to turn DoJ into the Department of Retribution. Using the power of the federal government to target and intimidate political opponents tramples on the rule of law.

Trump’s public instructions to AG Pam Bondi weren't subtle: He named three public figures he's long detested and urged the DOJ to prosecute them immediately.

Now, less than three weeks later, two of them are under indictment: former FBI Director James Comey and New York AG Letitia James.

How Trump’s message to ‘Pam’ got exactly the results he wanted

Donald Trump has long called for imprisoning his opponents. For the first time, he has a Justice Department willing to do his bidding.

Donald Trump and House Republicans gutted health care — and now families are paying the price. Hospitals are closing, premiums are skyrocketing, and care is harder to afford. I’m fighting to reverse these cuts and lower costs for Maryland families.

Federal workers keep our country running. Trump signed the law guaranteeing them backpay during shutdowns — now he’s threatening to break it. That’s not negotiating, it’s yet another act of cruelty against federal workers.

Across my district, thousands are bracing for skyrocketing premiums because of the Republican health care crisis. During my visit to a DaVita Dialysis center, I heard firsthand how these cuts would hit patients who rely on affordable, lifesaving care. We can’t afford to go backward.
