This is a guy who I believe gave huge donations to colleges and universities, including Harvard and MIT, and those kinds of gifts can buy you a lot of currency and access in different elite circles.

to make Maryland House seats more competitive in a way that counters the Trump national steamroller.

It is an affront to everyone who believes that we, in public office, must be the servants of the people, not the masters of the people who get special, legal rights and privileges and multimillion-dollar payoffs, people who think that they…

Everything we've been doing here, and the whole reason that we're in Washington, even though the Republicans are not, is to demand that they come back, reopen the government, restore health care to everybody, and get past this crisis.

President Trump — with you as a willing partner — is obliterating centuries of prosecutorial independence and steering the Justice Department into dangerous new territory.

Put on your big boy pants and let us know who the pedophiles are.

These four banks have flagged to the government $1.5 billion in suspicious transactions related to the sex trafficking crimes and conspiracy of Epstein, [his associate Ghislaine] Maxwell and all of their collaborators.

He really wants to rebuild an FDR coalition that is fundamentally committed to the success of the working and middle classes in his city.

I beg to differ. The worst of the worst are already covered by existing law. If you commit a murder like the gruesome murder he describes in his State, you can go to jail for life. In many States--and I suppose Kansas, but I don't…

I am satisfied to believe, again, that there are people who could end up with the most severe penalties under the legislation who have done nothing other than reenter the country, which is something we don't want them to do, which is why…

I congratulate Mr. Knott on his first bill coming to the floor of the House. The administration and ICE say that they are targeting the most hardened criminals, the worst of the worst, but the numbers now suggest a different story. Roughly…

Congress—and only Congress—passes budgets. Because the president's job is to take care the laws are faithfully executed, he must spend the money as directed. Trump's 'pocket recissions' are lawless and absurd.

I will be introducing a Resolution in the House, pursuant to the District of Columbia Home Rule Act of 1973, to reverse this plainly ridiculous state of local emergency and restore full home rule powers to the Mayor, Council and people of…

Well, of course he is. He’s on a political revenge tour.

Donald Trump said for years that they were going to release the files.

I will tell you that there is a bipartisan consensus in the Judiciary Committee now that all of these records need to be released.

There is nothing in there except for a series of qualifying weasel words which are added to give complete, unilateral, and subjective discretion to the Attorney General to decide what should be in and what should be out. It starts off by…

There cannot be two separate systems of justice, one for the vast majority of American people and another for power elites who know people and can get away with this stuff.

If there are literally other people on this list who are somehow implicated in these actions, it is dangerous to public health and safety not to release the names publicly.

on Friday, our National Archivist, our National Security Advisor, and our USAID Administrator took some time off from his work in these full-time positions to exercise his additional powers as Secretary of State of the United States. The…

The American people and the Congress deserve complete transparency into Trump’s assault on free speech, the right to counsel, due process and access to courts.
