This war should’ve never happened to begin with. Now, seven months later, gas prices are soaring and even Republican Sen. Shelley Moore Capito is telling Trump to end it. How much more do Maryland families have to pay for his war? thehill.com/homenews/sen...
GOP senator says Trump should bring Iran war to an end
Sen. Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) on Monday said President Trump should end the Iran war as the conflict hit its seven-month mark, during which gas prices have soared and contributed to Americans…

Good. OpenAI saw serious safety concerns and hit the brakes. If only Republicans in Congress would stop stalling and move with the same urgency on real AI guardrails.
OpenAI cancels new AI launch, citing safety issues
The cancellation of the new release comes days after OpenAI said it stopped training powerful new AI after safety incidents.

CNN, Politico, and MS NOW aren’t the problem. The problem is a president who can’t handle tough questions. Americans want answers. A free press holds power accountable, keeps information flowing freely, and our democracy depends on it.
Knowing your rights and having a plan can make a difference for your family. Join me and CARECEN for a virtual Know Your Rights & Family Preparedness Workshop on Tuesday, September 29, from 6–7 p.m. We’ll cover encounters with ICE, family preparedness, and how my office can help with USCIS cases.
No family should be afraid to leave their home. I’m working with Team Maryland to demand answers from DHS and an independent investigation into ICE’s actions in our communities. Marylanders deserve answers and accountability.
This is an outrageous attack on freedom of the press. Trump cannot ban news organizations from the White House simply because he dislikes their reporting. That is authoritarian, un-American, and an attack on the First Amendment. A free press is not optional. It is essential to our democracy.

Promises made. Promises broken. Republicans promised to lower costs. Instead, families are struggling to afford child care, farmers are being squeezed by tariffs, and working Americans are still having trouble making ends meet.
🎓 First stop: Hood College! Join me on Monday, September 21, from 3–4 PM for the first stop of my MD-06 College Tour. We’ll talk about affordability, student debt, jobs, and the issues shaping students’ futures.
I voted YES yet again to end Trump’s illegal and lawless war with Iran. At this point, the Iran war has cost taxpayers $38B and counting. Trump and Republicans promised to lower costs and not have endless foreign wars. They didn’t — promises made, promises broken!
A federal judge told Trump he couldn’t slap his name on the Kennedy Center. Hours later, his handpicked board voted to shut it down. Now workers could lose paychecks, artists lose a stage, and Americans lose access to a national institution, all because of another Trump failed vanity project.

The Kennedy Center board voted to close the center Tuesday after a tense meeting in which President Donald Trump called in to berate a Democratic congresswoman who serves on the panel, according to tw...

Trump tried to rewrite our election rules at the eleventh hour and make it harder for Americans to vote. It was an outrageous abuse of power, and the Supreme Court was right to stop him. Our elections belong to the American people -not Donald Trump! We must remain vigilant. I won’t stand down.

Shana Tova to everyone in Maryland’s 6th celebrating Rosh Hashanah! May this new year bring you and your loved ones peace, good health, reflection, and renewal. Wishing everyone celebrating across Maryland and the country a sweet and meaningful New Year.
Twenty-five years ago, September 11th began as one of the most beautiful fall days I can remember, with a crystal blue sky and not a cloud in sight. Then, everything changed.

As a communications attorney, former NTIA Deputy Assistant Secretary, and lifelong nonprofit media advocate, I know this is exactly the result FCC Chairman Carr wanted: to suppress and chill speech critical of Trump.
What we have seen in Frederick over the past several days is deeply concerning. No family should be afraid to leave their home or feel unsafe in their own neighborhood. The safety and well-being of our residents must come first.
Happy Labor Day, Maryland! 🇺🇸 Today, we celebrate the workers who built our country and the labor movement that fought for the 40-hour workweek, safer workplaces, better wages, and the right to organize.
I’m so grateful to the more than 16,000 of you who joined our Telephone Town Hall last night! 📞 We had a great conversation about lowering costs, holding this Administration accountable, and the work I’m doing in Congress to represent you.
Pete Hegseth is unfit to lead our military. Our commanders warned that the disastrous war in Iran is weakening our national security. Instead of listening, this Administration sidelined them. Our service members deserve better.
I strongly oppose BDS movements that too often veer into naked antisemitism. I also am a strong supporter of the First Amendment. Universities should be spaces for open debate, dialogue, and protest, and it should not be Congress's priority to punish political expression.
As a mother of four and a proud member of the Democratic Women’s Caucus, I’m grateful for trailblazers like Gloria Steinem who changed what was possible for generations of women.
This resolution won’t lower a single grocery bill or bring one soldier home.

Today thousands gathered in Washington D.C. to celebrate the 24th annual Chinese Culture Festival! From beautiful performance art to mouthwatering authentic dishes, Chinese heritage was acknowledged, honored, and shared with love and understanding.
63 years ago, hundreds of thousands of Americans marched on Washington demanding jobs, freedom, and equality. The fight continues today. I’m working to expand economic opportunity, defend our civil rights, and keep pushing toward an America where everyone has a fair shot.
