United States Senator for Maryland.

Happy National Oyster Day! 🦪 The Chesapeake Bay gives Maryland so much, and oysters give back by helping keep its waters healthy. Proud to celebrate one of our state's greatest treasures and the people who work every day to protect it.

AI is creating incredible opportunities, but it's also making scams more convincing. These scams don't just steal money—they steal dignity, independence, and peace of mind. We must protect our seniors and ensure technology is used to help people, not harm them.

We have communicated to women that pain is normal and that it hurts to be a woman. That's wrong. I'm proud to work with Lupita Nyong'o to fight for federal research funding for uterine fibroids and to pass my bipartisan U-FIGHT Act.

Marylanders living under Temporary Protected Status fled life-threatening conditions in search of safety. Now, the Trump Admin is forcing them back into danger. It's cruel, it's wrong, and we should protect our neighbors, not abandon them. We need to pass the SECURE Act.

Welcomed leaders from SURVICE Engineering and BAE Systems FalconWorks to my office. Maryland is leading the way in defense innovation, and partnerships like these strengthen our national security while creating new opportunities for our state's workforce and economy.

While families are struggling to afford groceries, Republicans made it harder to get food assistance. Over 4 million people, including an estimated 1.5 million children, have already lost SNAP benefits. The consequences of the "One Big Beautiful Bill" are here and they're ugly.

The Washington Post@washingtonpost.com · 2w ago

More than 4 million people nationwide were dropped from the federal food assistance program known as SNAP from July 2025 through March, according to a nonpartisan think tank. Arizona has seen the sharpest decline.

We wore white tonight in solidarity with all the women who couldn’t because of the pain and hell they have silently suffered from uterine fibroids. I was honored to accept the Blossom Award at The White Dress Project's Night in White Gala alongside my friend, Lupita Nyong'o.

This week I spoke at Semafor's World of Work about the future of work and how we ensure innovation creates opportunity for everyone. From AI to digital assets, we must embrace new technologies while protecting workers, expanding pathways to wealth, and keeping America competitive.

Honored to welcome Jack and Jill of America to Baltimore for its 47th National Convention. For generations, Jack and Jill has empowered young people to lead, serve, and make a difference in their communities. At a time when leadership matters more than ever, their work is helping shape the future.

Congress voted in a bipartisan, bicameral way to end this war. The President won’t end it. Prices continue to rise, and more American servicemembers have died. I’ve heard colleagues across the aisle say they’re praying for an end to this war. I urge them to vote for that too.

Maryland's veterans have served our nation, now we must ensure their success. Proud to join Senator Van Hollen and the Montgomery County Chamber Community Foundation to celebrate a $2 million investment to expand opportunities for veteran entrepreneurs and small businesses.

Happy Birthday to Senator Barbara Mikulski! Senator Mikulski has been a mentor, a champion, and an example of what it means to lead with courage and purpose. I'm grateful for her guidance, her friendship, and the path she paved for so many of us.

Joined Gov. Moore and Team Maryland for a firsthand look at the progress on rebuilding the Francis Scott Key Bridge. We’re rebuilding for the six Marylanders we lost and restoring a vital link for our state and our nation’s economy. A stronger, safer bridge is taking shape.

I am deeply saddened to learn of the loss of these brave servicemembers. Their courage and sacrifice in service to our country will never be forgotten. I’m praying for their loved ones, for the servicemembers who are injured or still missing, and for the safety of every American serving in uniform.

If you ask me, our Prince George's County seniors have the best moves in Maryland! Had the best time joining them on the dance floor at the Senior Line Dance Party! Thanks to the Parks & Rec Dept for bringing us together and creating opportunities for our seniors to stay active and connected.

Nothing beats the energy at the Prince George's County Senior Line Dance Party! It was great to join some of the coolest seniors in Maryland for a morning of music and dancing. Thank you to the Parks & Rec. Dept. for creating opportunities that keep our seniors active, connected, and thriving.

Tonight, The President is giving another speech built on a lie. His goal isn't election security — it's voter suppression. John Lewis taught us that democracy only works when everyone has a voice. I'll keep fighting to protect that fundamental and sacred right.

Federal workers have endured illegal mass firings, shutdowns, and needless chaos at the hands of this Administration. No Jedi mind trick will work. I've heard from the workers whose lives were turned upside down, and I stand with our federal workforce.

The CDC tracked Cyclospora for 28 years. RFK Jr. made that surveillance optional. Now thousands of Americans are sick, and we don't know where the outbreak began. Who saw this coming? Anyone who believes in science. Americans are paying the price for his reckless incompetence.

Maryland is home to thousands who serve our nation, and I’m proud of the wins I secured for them in the NDAA. But I cannot support a bill that pours over $1 trillion into fueling a war Congress has voted to end, while hardworking Americans continue paying the price.

Maryland is proving that so much is possible for our students when education, business, and government work together. Grateful to join NAF to discuss how we're preparing students through career pathways, workforce development, and expanded opportunities.
