As the House Appropriations Committee is touring the area in Western Maryland devastated by flooding, the Trump administration has announced that it is denying the appeal for FEMA funding. Why? Because we are a “blue state” even though the affected area is mostly Republican. Despicable.

Today marks 2 years since the horrific Hamas massacre of innocent civilians in Israel. We pray for the safe return of the remaining 48 hostages, grieve the immeasurable loss endured by so many families and communities, and continue to hope for peace & safety for all in the region.

The Gaithersburg SummerFest is always spectacular. Thousands of people in our beautifully diverse city enjoyed live music, food & beverages, glow sticks, and a world-class fireworks show on the idyllic grounds of Bohrer Park to kick off the week’s Independence Day festivities.

Friday was National Gun Violence Awareness Day and the start of Wear Orange weekend. I stand with @everytown.bsky.social, @momsdemand.bsky.social, and all those working to reduce gun violence. This year, the Maryland General Assembly passed a number of new laws to deter and prevent gun violence.

As we kicked off Pride Month at Rockville Pride today, I was honored to speak as an ally & advocate in the fight for freedom, respect, safety, & civil rights. Wherever we encounter discrimination and hate—from the schoolhouse to the White House—we will not be bullied into silence. Love wins!
