As expected, the Trump admin lied when they said decisions on federal grants were not being made based on whether a state voted for Trump or Harris in 2024. It’s frankly sickening that Americans are not getting the relief they need from THEIR government based solely on that fact.

Students with disabilities are students first. For 50 years, the Dept of Education has been tasked with ensuring students with disabilities have the opportunity to learn & grow. The Trump admin's decision to move that responsibility to HHS & DOJ will only hurt these students. It's shameful.

I have issued a State of Preparedness ahead of the heat wave across the state. Please remember to do your part by staying cool and hydrated, avoiding long exposure to outdoor temperatures, and looking out for others around you. For more tips on how to stay cool, visit https://go.md.gov/ExtremeHeat

Severe heat, often combined with the high humidity in much of the state during the summer, can create serious health risks.

I’m back at Delaney Hall with Governor Sherrill and other members of the NJ delegation to meet with families of detainees and listen to community advocates. We’re working together to make sure they’re heard and to speak out with them. 1/2

I saw chaos inside and outside of the ICE detention center Delaney Hall today. Detainees protesting the lack of due process, the disgusting food and poor treatment while their families and advocates stood outside calling for help. 1/4

Yesterday, Trump announced a $1.8 BILLION taxpayer funded slush fund for his allies & friends. Today, I asked acting AG Blanche if Jan 6 rioters who assaulted police & committed violent crimes, would be eligible for payouts. He couldn't say no.

Yet, the President continues to recklessly threaten our allies – most recently threatening to remove the US from NATO entirely. As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, I’m committed to doing my part to strengthen our global alliances.
