Politics should never come before working families and their health care. This shutdown deal fails millions of Americans — we must stand strong in the House.

After over 50 days of waiting, thrilled to see Rep. Grijalva join the 119th Congress! Finally, the people of Arizona’s 7th District have their rightful voice in our democracy, and I loved welcoming her with the @demwomencaucus.bsky.social to our freshman class!

From food banks to health care centers, it has been my priority to hear directly from our communities to reopen our government the right way. What I heard? Americans can’t afford this CR. The stakes are too high to cave.

On the steps of the Capitol, we affirmed: the Senate shutdown deal is unacceptable for the millions of Americans who are already seeing their health care premiums skyrocket for 2026. @housedemocrats.bsky.social are standing strong for every family who can’t afford this CR.

Keeping health care affordable isn’t about partisanship — it’s basic human dignity. If my GOP colleagues bothered to show up over the past 6 weeks, they’d see that their vote on this CR will go far beyond a tally or press release:

This morning, I joined the Joint Veterans Council of Washington County for a wreath laying ceremony — a touching embodiment of the eternity, remembrance, and honor we feel towards the men and women who put their lives on the line for our country.

After the longest gov't shutdown in U.S. history—and one where my GOP colleagues have not even bothered to show up for work over the past 6 weeks—I find the stakes too high to cave on a budget which will make Americans’ lives harder and less affordable. My full statement against this shutdown deal.

I was thrilled to join Councilmember Laurie-Anne Sayles for a Farm-to-Table symposium in Germantown. Montgomery County’s food economy is foundational to our communities’ prosperity — thanks to local leaders who make it all happen, especially Delegate Lily Qi, who I had the pleasure of introducing.

I was proud to speak at the Brunswick Veterans Day Parade, honoring the heroic service members who have sacrificed so much in defense of our country. The dedication of them and their families remains a cornerstone in our nation’s values — I am proud to stand up for them today and everyday.

I am in complete alignment with Senator Van Hollen. The politicization and weaponization of food security by this Administration is reprehensible and beyond cruel. Starving people into submission is what dictators do... and is UN-American! Put Americans first and don't let our children go hungry.
Trump is still using hunger as a political weapon while also refusing to address skyrocketing health care costs — and seems to be enjoying it. It’s the definition of sadism. A truly twisted man.

42 million Americans who rely on SNAP — including 1 in 9 families in Maryland’s 6th — have faced incredible uncertainty at the hands of this Administration, left without funds to feed their families. I was proud to sign on to the Keep SNAP and WIC Funded Act of 2025 to keep politics out of pantries.
As 42 million Americans who rely on SNAP go another day without November benefits, I am leading the introduction of the Keep SNAP & WIC Funded Act of 2025 to stop the Trump Administration from illegally withholding available funds.

For over 680,000 Marylanders, SNAP benefits make the difference between feeding their families and going to bed hungry. They don’t have time for this Administration’s political games: they needed answers last week.

Team Maryland is standing up for SNAP — it’s past time the U.S. Department of Agriculture and this Administration follow suit. Read the letter, led by @vanhollen.senate.gov, @alsobrooks.senate.gov and I, from the Maryland Delegation on my website.
