We must acknowledge the dangers of this moment as the Trump Administration undermines the progress we have achieved.

As we reflect on these accomplishments, we are reminded that the fight is not over.

Today, I join in celebrating the thirty-sixth anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) – pivotal legislation that reshaped the lives of millions of Americans living with disabilities, guaranteeing them equal access and…

Have you received any directions from OMB at any time during the course of your administration at the SBA, to not disburse funding that has been appropriated?

Political will, I suggest again, Congressman, is, in fact, the answer, not weakening the Congress of the United States.

But I really say that as we did under Ronald Reagan – I was here all eight years he was president – and George Bush, we rarely shut down the government. Under Joe Biden with a Republican Congress, we didn't shut down the government at all…

I believe these proposals do exactly the opposite of what we need to do in the sense that I think they weaken greatly the Congress and strengthen – even more than has happened today – the presidency, making the executive extraordinarily…

The Trump Administration should be ashamed of itself for proposing this pay disparity, and I urge the Senate to address it and insist on parity.

That disparity is wrong, and it’s why I did not support this bill, which balloons the defense budget by over 28% and will cost more than a trillion dollars but cannot find enough funds to ensure parity in raises between civilian and…

Hardworking civilian federal employees at the Defense Department are no less deserving of an annual raise than their compatriots in uniform.

We cannot turn the clock back to the time before the ADA, when those with disabilities were ostracized, isolated, and locked away.

From day one, Team Maryland has worked together closely to ensure that the Key Bridge is rebuilt as safely, quickly, and cost-effectively as possible.

Let us be clear: America does not abandon our allies. America does not shrink from the fight. Democracy will not yield one inch to tyranny.

That is a grave mistake and absolutely the wrong approach and a dangerous signal at a time when we ought to show unwavering support for Ukraine's defense of its homeland.

That's regrettable. I will send you some questions in writing. I would hope you would answer them.

The people of Maryland and the United States deserve actual transparency, reliability, and accountability from our federal government, not arbitrary rules and political interference from OMB that would weaken our scientific and research…

The proposed Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance represents a threat to every one of those efforts to better American lives, strengthen our economy, and keep our country competitive.

We write to express strong opposition to the Office of Management and Budget’s sweeping proposed “Regulation for Federal Financial Assistance” rule that would completely overhaul and politicize the grantmaking and cooperative agreement…

Small businesses like the one I just spoke of deserve our help, and they deserve answers.

You didn't answer the question. I didn't ask you whether you have done things that are prudent to do. I asked you, have you been directed by either Mr. Vought directly or OMB not to expend funds that were appropriated by the Congress of…

Democracy will not yield one inch to tyranny.

America does not abandon our allies. America does not shrink from the fight.

We ought to show unwavering support for Ukraine's defense of its homeland.

This bill has zero [funding] for Ukraine, our ally fighting the Russian invader.

This bill does not send a strong message to our friends, nor does it send an unmistakable message to our adversaries.
