62% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck. While Elon Musk is on track to be the world’s first trillionaire. Disgusting.

Growing up in Catholic school, every Friday we attended Mass and it was sacred time to be with God. Now even the pews aren’t safe. What happened in Minneapolis is enraging. Children deserve our protection, not empty prayers. Congress must act—end gun violence now.

If we’re a “big tent” party, then we must be clear: anti-war, anti-genocide.

I’ve introduced legislation two years in a row to tax Big Tech and use the money to fund youth mental health services in Maryland. Now, Harford County is taking Meta, TikTok, and others to court over the harm they’ve caused our kids.

The longer they wait to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, the more it seems like they're hiding something.
Today @durbin.senate.gov and I sent a letter to AG Pam Bondi calling for the immediate release of the Epstein files — in line with our bipartisan, unanimously-approved amendment⬇️
