Huge turnout at the rally to defend the National Institutes of Health (NIH). As a published scientist and as an elected official, the systemic dismantling of science by the Musk/Trump administration is incredibly alarming. 1/2
This was a full circle moment for me. I learned how to advocate for bills from being a @MoCoYoungDems member specially during our lobby nights in Annapolis. Yesterday, I got to welcome them to my office to hear about their priorities. 😊 Thank you MCYD!
Thank you to the many legislators (including those not pictured) who met with us to discuss young peoples’ top priorities for this legislative session! It’s more important than ever that we advocate for a bold, inclusive vision for the future of the Democratic Party. #MDGA25

Heartbroken to learn that beloved members of UA Steamfitters Local 602 and UA Plumbers and Gasfitters Local 5 in Maryland were among the victims of this terrible tragedy. My thoughts are with their loved ones and everyone impacted by this horrible collision.
We’re heartbroken to share that four UA Brothers were among the victims of the tragic crash of American Airlines Flight 5342. May they rest in peace.

Comptroller Brooke E. Lierman today released the following statement in response to the Trump administration’s decision to freeze disbursement of federal grants
The NIH is actively researching a cure for cancer. The fact that this Administration is threatening their progress and work is beyond me. That's why @ChrisVanHollen, @RepRaskin, and I are urging the Administration to restore full operations at NIH immediately.
Democrats are calling on Trump officials to “restore full operations at NIH,” warning that it’s threatening medical research. “Without quick corrective action, the consequences of further disruption could be disastrous,” @RepRaskin, @ChrisVanHollen and @Sen_Alsobrooks write.
Thank you for introducing this much needed legislation! @palakovichcarr @SaraLove4MD
The already high cost of housing is getting worse because of software some landlords use to collude to set rents. @SaraLove4MD & I are introducing a bill today to end this practice. washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/2025/…

Most immigrants Trump targets have been here 10+ years, paying taxes, raising families, contributing to our communities. Mass deportations will devastate our economy and tear apart the social fabric of America.
At the inaugural prayer service, the Right Rev. Mariann Budde, the Episcopal bishop of Washington, made a direct appeal to President Donald Trump to have mercy on the LGBTQ+ community and undocumented migrant workers.

Young Democrats of America statement on the "Laken Riley Act"
Our pro-union, pro-worker legislative package was featured on @MorePerfectUS. I’m sponsoring legislation to ban captive audience meetings which are the tool of choice for union busters — and a constitutional amendment to make the right to organize a constitutional right.
