Marylanders and Americans across the country deserve better, and Congress must step up to hold this Administration accountable and step in to deliver real economic stability, opportunity, and lower prices for our people.

Rather than fulfilling his promise to lower these costs, the President has instead launched a failed war of choice with Iran and spent hundreds of millions of dollars on vanity projects, such as his White House ballroom, all at the expense…

I can assure you that our Constitution is alive and well, and that this committee and Congress will hopefully hold you accountable and the government accountable, the Executive Department accountable, using the oversight tools it places in…

Director Vought has certainly said he believes America is in a ‘post-constitutional moment.’ I'm not sure what that means.

Today’s decisions, taken together, reveal a Supreme Court captured by the twisted ideology of unitary executive power.

Americans across our country rely on the critical services that the nonpartisan, highly skilled federal workforce provides. Instead of supporting these workers, Donald Trump continues to attack them. The merit-based federal workforce is a…

Spending $400 million to help Ukraine defeat Russia's invasion is a much better bargain than spending $80 billion on a war in Iran.

This is money that will send a message. This is money that will reaffirm America's continuing willingness to defend democracy.

Marylanders are struggling in Trump's failing economy, and they're looking to their state and federal leaders for help as the Administration continues to impose drastic cuts to affordable health care, food assistance, and other critical…
