From wage theft to union busting, the billionaires & big corporations are rigging the rules for themselves. The result? Workers get stiffed. It's shameful & un-American. That's why I'm proud to stand with @IAM_Union & every worker who's demanding that we fix this broken system.

Trump & Netanyahu's Iran War has been a disaster from the start. The question now is not whether the deal to end this war is perfect but whether continuing the war would make things better. It would not.

Too many Americans can't afford a place to live. There's more to do, but today we took a step to address that problem, passing the ROAD to Housing Act to make it easier to build & access affordable housing — including my bills to improve access for veterans. My full

"Initiating a criminal investigation in order to harass political opponents... is a blatantly unlawful and unethical use [of] the grand-jury process," — Judge Schiltz It's a sad day when a judge has to tell the President he can't weaponize the govt against political opponents.

A Trump-appointed judge just threw out Trump's attempt to obtain Maryland's voter rolls. But our fight to ensure a free & fair midterm is far from over: the Trump DOJ is continuing its meddling & Republicans are still trying to pass their massive voter suppression bill, the

In October, the RSF massacred over 6,000 people in 3 days in El Fasher, Sudan. Now, in the RSF’s assault on al-Obeid, 500,000 civilians risk falling victim to that same brutality. We are not powerless to stop this. If the Trump admin won't use U.S. leverage, then Congress

In the 2 weeks since Republicans voted down my amendments to ban this slush fund, Trump & Blanche have refused to say it’s dead — including, now, where it matters most: in court. Until it’s shut down, we must keep fighting to stop this $1.8 BILLION taxpayer-funded slush fund.

Trump again refused to say his slush fund is dead. He also refused to say payouts shouldn't go to people who beat up our Capitol Police on Jan 6.  To every Republican who voted against my amendment to stop payments to those convicted of heinous crimes, what’s your excuse now?

In 2022, workers at the Apple Store in Towson made history as the first to unionize their store. Now, Apple is closing the store & the workers of IAM Local 4538 have gone to the NLRB over unfair labor practices. Apple is worth $4.3+ TRILLION. They can afford to do better,

Democrats should make 2 key points. 1) The illegal war in Iran has been a blunder & we are worse off than before it started. 2) There’s no good way out of a bad war. We should reject the talking points of those who cheered it on & want to drag us back into it. When you're in a

Very revealing. Republican senators who were AWOL regarding their constitutional duties around STARTING the war against Iran all of a sudden demand that Congress play a role in STOPPING the war. A whole lot of warmongering going on.

This year, Juneteenth falls 7 weeks after SCOTUS gutted the VRA, unwinding decades of progress & undoing a key pillar of the fight for equality. While Republicans are doing all they can to turn back the clock, Juneteenth reminds us that we must never rest in the pursuit of

Trump's lawless ICE operation spent $700 MILLION of your tax dollars on 7 warehouses they’re now trying to get rid of. Not only is this ICE operation draconian & inhumane, it's an abuse of taxpayer dollars, paid for by their cuts to Medicaid and SNAP. It's twisted.
