Due to a change in the congressional schedule because of the incoming storm, today’s live conversation will be postponed due to votes. We’ll be posting the new date and time here shortly. Stay tuned!

President Trump promised to lower costs on day one, yet more than a year into his Administration, we’re still hearing overwhelmingly from our neighbors: sh*t is too expensive!

Since 2021, the partnership between Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States – also known as AUKUS – has played a critical role in responding to changing national security priorities for our country and our allies throughout the Indo-Pacific.

Today is the last day for open enrollment into the ACA Marketplace. After the House bipartisanly passed the bill last week, the Senate still needs to act to extend the crucial ACA tax credits. For now, Marylanders be sure to check your enrollment if you are looking to switch or join a health plan.
