Eight months into Trump’s reckless war, he’s bragging: “We’re making a frickin’ fortune.”
Who’s “we”? Marylanders are paying more at the pump while he takes a victory lap. I’m fighting to end this war and bring costs down. Maryland families deserve better.
I’m heartbroken by the loss of Dolores Huerta, a labor champion and civil rights leader who never wavered in the fight for hardworking Americans.
Thanks to her leadership, workers have higher wages, better benefits, and safer working conditions. Her rallying cry, “¡Sí, se puede!” will continue to inspire generations to fight for justice.
Rest in power, Dolores Huerta.

Enough with the lies, Mr. President.
I know Congresswoman @Ilhan . She shows up for her constituents, loves this country, and stands up to bullies.
No president gets to use the power of his office to intimidate his critics. Political retribution has no place in America.
Three campuses. Hundreds of conversations. One goal: costs down, opportunities up.
Thank you to @DrWilliams_MC and @montgomerycoll Germantown for a terrific final fall tour stop! From biotech labs to our student roundtable, the message was clear: students need lower costs and the freedom to focus on their futures.
I’m taking students’ concerns to Washington. See you this spring for Part II!
When floods devastated Western Maryland, this administration denied us aid. Now FEMA is telling states to prepare to handle most disasters without federal help.
Absurd. Families who lose their homes should never have to wonder whether politics will determine who gets help. You show up, no matter who they voted for.
I’ll keep fighting for Western Maryland to get the support we deserve.
BREAKING:
Trump's head of FEMA just told states to prepare to handle disasters on their own.
The Trump admin's disaster chief told state officials they must increase their financial reserves and emergency capabilities to handle most disasters on their own — without federal help. politico.com/news/2026/10/20…
Gas, groceries, rent. College costs go well beyond tuition.
Thank you, President David Jones and @alleganycollgmd, for welcoming me to Cumberland for stop two of my College and Economic Opportunity Tour.
I’m fighting for lower costs and opportunities close to home.
Read this. A scientist who studies the fish and shellfish we eat packed up and left for Finland. Not for the money.
For stability. That's what grant freezes and terminated awards actually cost. I voted no on the cuts and pressed HHS on the Fort Detrick lab. The fight isn't over.

Rep. April McClain Delaney retweeted
American influence is evolving. So are the leaders shaping it.
On Friday, Meridian International Center convened leaders at the forefront of government, business, technology, and diplomacy for the 15th Annual Meridian Summit, bringing together the people and perspectives shaping America's role on the world stage.
From economic security and emerging technologies to global partnerships and the future of diplomacy, the conversations reinforced a defining reality: America's global influence is built through the strength of its relationships, the reach of its innovation, and the leadership of those working across sectors and borders.
This year's Summit also marked several major milestones for Meridian: the unveiling of the United Airlines Center for Diplomatic Engagement, the announcement of our inaugural New Architects of American Influence cohort, and the presentation of the Meridian Corporate Leadership Award to Conor McQuaid, Chairman & CEO of @Pernod_Ricard North America, recognizing his leadership in advancing international business and global engagement.
Thank you to our distinguished speakers for bringing their expertise and perspectives to the stage, and to our partners for making this year's Summit possible. Together, we're helping shape the next era of American influence.

Such welcome news. Joining Catholics around the world in praying for Pope Leo’s continued healing. May God grant him strength as he recovers, and bless the doctors and nurses caring for him.
Pope Leo smiled and exchanged a few words with well-wishers as he left a Rome hospital and returned to the Vatican on Saturday.
The surgery to remove a malignant nodule and part of his right lung was described by his doctors as successful. wapo.st/3VVaw18
No president is above the law. And no one should face political intimidation, whether they’re an elected official, journalist, lawyer, immigrant, or business owner.
The federal raid involving Rep. @Ilhan Omar raises serious questions that deserve answers.
The American people deserve transparency and accountability.
The Trump Administration’s FAA wants to take ownership positions in AI companies. That’s an insane and illegal conflict of interest!
This Congress must exercise its Article 1 oversight powers with respect to any FAA ownership in private AI companies and demand answers about whether the systems being deployed at our airports have been adequately tested, are properly monitored, and are safe for the traveling public.
This is exactly why I led a letter with @RepAOC, @RepDonBeyer, @RepSarahElfreth, @RepSuhas, and @RepKweisiMfume demanding answers from the FAA. No insider dealing and no compromises on public transportation safety.
Scoop: The FAA is working to acquire an ownership stake in Air Space Intelligence, per internal document seen by @politico. The company won a major contract earlier this year for an AI-powered air traffic tool and related system.

No family should fear going to worship together. I’m so relieved that @CongressmanRaja, his family, and their congregation are safe. To our Hindu neighbors in Maryland: you belong here. You deserve to feel safe. I’ll keep fighting to protect that freedom and confront the hate that threatens it.
Tune in as I join the opening panel at the 15th Annual Meridian Summit to discuss how America can lead with strength, earn trust, and sustain our influence for the next generation.
ICYMI: I’m leading the call with @RepAOC , @RepDonBeyer , @RepKweisiMfume, @RepSuhas, and @RepSarahElfreth to pause the FAA’s AI tool at DCA, Dulles, and BWI.
When Maryland families board a plane, they deserve to know the systems guiding their flight have been thoroughly tested and the people keeping them safe have the training they need.
After the devastating DCA crash that took 67 lives, the FAA owes this region answers. Show us the safety testing. Explain who is accountable if something goes wrong.
I support modernizing our aviation systems, but passenger safety must come first.
Maryland deserves Congressional members who respect the 1st Amendment and don’t lash out when held accountable. @RepAndyHarrisMD’s unhinged outburst and arrest threats against a student journalist are similar to Trump as he seeks to weaponize the police and government institutions against journalists or perceived adversaries.
As a member of the House Agriculture Committee, I’ve been fighting alongside Team Maryland to protect the Beltsville Agricultural Research Center.
Despite this administration’s stonewalling, we have continued pushing back against USDA’s reorganization and the proposed closure of BARC.
Now, a federal judge has temporarily blocked the reorganization.
This ruling is a victory for Maryland, American farmers, BARC’s world-class researchers, and our nation’s food security. Our work to protect BARC is far from over.

Elon Musk’s companies rake in billions from taxpayer-funded government deals, and legitimize pay offs to Trump and his allies in the form of campaign donations. Now Musk is pouring $276 million into keeping Republicans in power and corruptly stopping all safety guardrails on AI and Big Tech. It’s not about US competitiveness or the American economy but rather the creation of a digital oligarchy that seeks to stop the ability of all Americans to democratize AI and build middle class prosperity.
American families deserve a fair, transparent government which works for them and NOT one controlled by a self dealing trillionaire!
