There’s broad agreement across the nation: it’s time to reform stock trading in Congress. That's why I joined my colleagues in demanding Speaker Johnson bring the Restore Trust in Government Act to the floor for a vote.

Proudly representing Maryland’s 2nd Congressional District. Dad, husband, former public school teacher, and county executive. Always Ravens + Orioles.
Corrupt people don't often announce, "I'm corrupt."
Dreamers make our nation stronger, and they deserve a real path to citizenship. That's why I signed a discharge petition to force a vote on the American Dream and Promise Act—so they can achieve their version of the American Dream. #HomeIsHere
Republicans want you to think this bill bans congressional stock trading. It doesn't. Instead, they snuck in provisions that make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote. It's a bait and switch, and I'm voting no.
The Key Bridge collapse was a painful loss for our region. I joined a bipartisan group of state and federal leaders for an update on the rebuild. We have to keep up the momentum and do everything possible to rebuild as quickly, safely, and cost-effectively as we can.
ICYMI: New Dem @repjohnnyo.bsky.social is fighting back against Trump's corruption. While working families stretch every paycheck, Trump and his family are treating the office of the president as their own personal money pit. Read all about it here ⬇️ www.ms.now/opinion/trum...
My RESIDE Act is now law! This bipartisan bill turns vacant, blighted properties into homes families can actually afford—helping put homeownership back within reach for Americans who've been priced out.
Trump has turned the presidency into a grift: pocketing billions through crypto deals, stock trades, and pardons-for-cash, all while Americans struggle to afford groceries and rent. That's why I've introduced reforms to stop any president from using the White House for profits.
Trump's election claims are a dangerous political strategy: Republicans fear they can't win on the merits, so they're attacking the election system itself. Perhaps the president is our greatest threat to free and fair elections.
The SAVE Act would disenfranchise millions of American citizens. We won't let it stand.
Trump has billions for an endless war but nothing for basics.
I asked a simple yes-or-no question: is it wrong for politicians to profit off public deals? The Trump officials at the table couldn't answer. Taxpayers shouldn't be footing the bill to make any politician richer.
Practical investments that meet real needs make #MD02 stronger. Proud to deliver $250K in federal funding for Reisterstown's historic Main Street to replace old street lamps with energy-efficient lighting, improving safety while preserving downtown's charm.
Our faith communities bring so many Marylanders together. It was an honor to join New Psalmist Baptist Church in Baltimore on Sunday for prayer and conversation.
Citizens United was one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in our history. It's why I've pushed 18-year term limits for a Court with too much unchecked power, why I support public campaign financing, & why I'm proud to co-sponsor ending Citizens United for good.
Getting struck by lightning is more likely than voter fraud in the United States. The SAVE Act isn't a bill to stop that — it's a bill to disenfranchise millions of eligible Americans. It should NOT become law.
No credible threat. No plan. No accountability. Just a president who rushed to war amidst his own scandals—all while raking in $4 billion for himself and leaving Americans to pay the price.
Huge win today: my first bill to become law! 🎉 The bipartisan RESIDE Act turns vacant, blighted properties into homes families can actually afford. Baltimore alone has 11,000 homes sitting empty. This law will help turn them into real opportunity. 🏡
My heart is with everyone affected by the devastating bus crash in Pikesville. I’m praying for the full recovery of those who were injured and keeping their loved ones in my thoughts. We thank the firefighters, EMTs, and other first responders whose swift actions saved lives.
33 injured in Pikesville bus crash: Baltimore County Fire Department
Baltimore County Fire Chief Joseph Dixon said during a media briefing that it was “like a war scene” and that it stretched from Old Court Road to McHenry Avenue on Reisterstown Road.

I taught US history before Congress. Our nation was built on self-governance and equality under the law. But the current administration is eroding those founding principles. We must forge a more perfect union. @newsnation.bsky.social
📢 I want to hear from you! Join me for a virtual #MD02 town hall on Wednesday, July 8 from 7-8 PM to discuss how I'm fighting for Marylanders in Congress. Tune in and share your thoughts!
The 4th of July celebrates a nation founded on the idea that no one is above the law. Instead, Trump wants to use it as an opportunity to erase convictions for his allies.
Happy Independence Day, #MD-02! As we celebrate the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding, we reflect on the ideals of freedom, equality, and opportunity that continue to guide us forward.
Trump is profiting off the presidency while Americans struggle. It's corrupt.
Happy #ParksAndRecMonth! It's the perfect time to visit one of Maryland's and #MD02's largest state parks: Gunpowder Falls! 🍃🏖️ You can explore the trails, protected state wildlands, historic sites, and the swimming beach and marina.
Why was Justice Clarence Thomas in the Capitol yesterday?
Thanks to SEEC Building Resilient Housing Task Force leaders @congressmin.bsky.social & @repjohnnyo.bsky.social for supporting energy-efficient buildings. As our nation faces housing & energy affordability crises, now is precisely the wrong time to let cost-saving incentives like these expire.
This endless war has been a disaster from the beginning, and President Trump and his family seem to be the only ones benefiting from it. @cnn.com
Rest in peace, Stan. Your compassion, wisdom, and love for sports touched so many in Baltimore and beyond. My thoughts and prayers are with the Saunders family and their loved ones. We will miss you.
