You can’t tell me our systems aren’t rigged.

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

Tesla shareholders have approved a pay package that could make CEO Elon Musk, already the world’s richest person, the world’s first trillionaire. https://cnn.it/43KZnkA

Last week our Stephanie Klapper celebrated the 60th anniversary of Medicaid with Del. Ashanti Martinez, Rep. Glenn Ivey, Michele Eberle at Maryland Health Connection, and Dr. Sonya Bruton at CCI Health Services.

Medicaid has saved lives and also saved millions of dollars in uncompensated care.

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.

What’s happening in Gaza is devastating and in this moment of crisis, Americans need leadership. DNC can’t just talk. We must act. thehill.com/homenews/cam...

On Southern HIV Awareness Day, I joined Us Helping Us at their community fish fry to celebrate community and recommit ourselves to ending the HIV epidemic. Here in Maryland as the most northern Southern state—we know this fight is close to home.

This week, I moderated a powerful panel on immigration enforcement and local government at the annual #MACoCon. Thank you to Maryland Association of Counties (MACo) for creating space for this critical conversation.

As Washington, D.C. turns toward cuts, here in Maryland we are doubling down—investing boldly in our people, our communities, and our future.

In every brushstroke and every story shared, there’s healing.

Honored to recognize the young artists of the Prince George’s County Memorial Library System Therapy Through Art program led by Olympic artist Jesse Raudales. These scholars used creativity to foster resilience and hope in our community.

@ivey.house.gov & @ashantimartinez.bsky.social during a Town Hall Meeting re: the impact of "one big beautiful budget bill" on healthcare (Fed $ cuts to Medicaid, SNAP & Medicare). If your elected leaders are as busy as these people, you're fortunate!

From working together as staff in the General Assembly to serving together in the House, it’s an honor to support my friend and Latino Caucus member, Delegate Teresa S. Woorman, for District 16. Her passion and dedication for community inspires me every day!

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.

I fully support their efforts. t.co/a3wjeL2BCF

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⬇️

Amb. Huckabee told me during his confirmation process that he cared about Christians in the Holy Land.
 
So, Amb. Huckabee, I ask: What are you doing to get the Netanyahu government to stop these attacks and hold perpetrators accountable?
