This is good news for our economy and workers. While there’s still more to do to bring down prices & create more shared prosperity, this economic growth is an important sign — especially given the headwinds generated by measures taken by the Fed. Reserve.

Voter intimidation – like the armed vigilantes we’re seeing in AZ right now – is a direct threat to our democracy. Glad to see US Attorney Erek L. Barron take these steps to protect MD voters.

Hidden “junk fees” can quickly add up & overwhelm consumers, especially those who can least afford it. I've been pressing the big banks to get rid of these fees, & this move by President Biden will help do that & add much-needed transparency.

From school buses to public transit, the infrastructure modernization law is helping us transition to cleaner, more efficient transportation options that are better for our environment & ultimately save taxpayer dollars. It’s a win-win!

Glad to see that Johns Hopkins Medicine & CareFirst BlueCross BlueShield have heeded our calls to come to an agreement that won’t disrupt health care coverage for hundreds of thousands of MDers. Read the full statement from Federal Team MD below.

It’s absurd that in 2020, 55 billion-dollar corporations paid $0 in federal income taxes. So if you paid $1 or more you paid more than they did–combined. That’s why we fought for the #InflationReductionAct ’s corporate minimum tax to make corporations pay more of their fair share.

From job training & placement to mental health care & housing referrals, PIVOT in Baltimore empowers formerly incarcerated women w/ the services they need to rebuild their lives. Honored to join them today to hear first-hand how the program is giving these women a second chance.

The American Rescue Plan was a lifeline for over 5,000 child care programs in Maryland. Still, many families are struggling to find quality, affordable child care. We must reinstate the expired expanded Child Tax Credit & invest in more affordable child care for all.

37 days since the killing of Zhina Amini, courageous Iranians continue to stand up for their freedom at enormous personal risk.

We stand with the protesters in their fight against oppression.

The Southern Maryland Autonomous Research & Technology (SMART) Building USMSM's is a new hub for teaching, research & innovation in UAVs & tech of the future. Even saw tank for testing robotic fish. Look twice while snorkeling!

Did you know that oysters are natural filtration systems that help keep the Bay healthy? Enjoyed joining USACE HQ & NOAA & other partners at St Mary's College MD to celebrate the restoration of 800+ acres of oyster habitats in key Bay tributaries. Must keep at it.

We must build a truly inclusive society where all individuals are treated with equal dignity & respect & empowered to reach their full potential. Was proud to join families at Baltimore's Step Up for Down Syndrome Walk to advance that mission.

Our breast cancer survivor community inspires us all with their strength & determination.
 
Honored to join #makingstridesbaltimore  today for push to boost early detection, ensure access to treatment & invest in medical research to conquer cancer!

After decades of effort, w/ passage of Inflation Reduction Act, the Green Bank is finally getting launched to boost deployment of clean energy & expand opportunity! Proud to partner w/ @senmarkey @senatorcarper Rep. Debbie Dingell & @epa to make this happen. reuters.com/business/susta…

Amen to that Bill!

Under Mike Tidwell’s leadership Chesapeake Climate has been at the vanguard of the climate change movement & become a grassroots powerhouse that pushed successfully for clean energy laws at the local, state & fed level. Onwards!

During this time of extreme conflict in Ethiopia no one residing in the US should have to return there. That’s why this is a key step by @DHSGov as we also welcome the news that the African Union will convene peace negotiations. All sides should immediately enter into a ceasefire

For yrs, the Hwy to Nowhere has divided W. Baltimore, standing in the way of economic growth & opportunity. Baltimore has now applied for $ to tear it down, through a grant that we created in the infrastructure law. We’re going to do everything we can to get these $ to Baltimore!

To protect public safety, you need a license to show you know how to drive a car. Similarly, Maryland requires a permit to purchase a handgun. Thank you Brian Frosh, Attorney General of Maryland for defending this common-sense requirement in court!

Couldn’t agree more. Both Prince George’s County sites not only satisfy the mission needs of a new FBI HQ, but also meet the Biden Admin’s commitment to making federal investments that expand economic opportunities in a more equitable way.
