I remember going to Brooklyn to meet the families in the wake of this tragedy, and seeing that even in the throes of devastation, this community stood united and unbroken. As we continue to heal, let us continue the fight to end gun violence.

Here's a #ThrowbackThursday recap of the MarylandCommissionforWomen Hall of Fame ceremony that happened in March. The inductees are charting new paths ahead for #Maryland, as the awardees are changemaker #leaders who are starting an exciting chapter for Maryland's future.

Political violence is unacceptable, and we will not tolerate it – not now, not ever. Ideas are won and lost at the ballot box. That is the promise of our democracy, and it is an ideal we need to defend.

Maryland said we would be the first state in the nation to provide a year of service for the people of our state. And we meant it. Today’s graduates aren’t just making history; they are building a legacy x.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Helen, Phoebe, Katie, Tatiana and Erin—Our community is thrilled that you will represent not just America but Maryland’s beautiful eighth district at this month’s Summer The Olympic Games in Paris. We wish you and all of Team USA the best of luck. Bring home the Gold!

John Lewis spent a lifetime fighting for democracy. He reminded us that "freedom is not a state; it is an act” — and that “each generation must do its part to create an even more fair, more just society.” Four years after his passing, his words have never been more important.

Rep. John Lewis knew voting was sacred. The John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act is a chance for us to make clear yet again that we cannot stand by as voter suppression and the disenfranchisement of communities of color infringe upon the rights of our citizens.
