Proudly Representing Maryland's 7th Congressional District. Member of @HouseForeign, @OversightDems, and @theBlackCaucus.
In a sad display of blatant racism, the U.S. Department of Justice is recommending only ONE day in prison as punishment for Brett Hankison—one of the detectives involved in the tragic and senseless killing of innocent Breonna Taylor, shot dead in cold-blood in her home, in 2020,…
Recently, I had the pleasure of meeting with youth from the @BGCA_Clubs of Metropolitan Baltimore. We had an important conversation about how their clubs help shape #YoungLeaders through civic engagement, out-of-school programs, and career readiness. With over 5,500 locations…
Congressman William Lacy “Bill” Clay, Sr. was a dear friend and colleague who was a principled, tireless advocate for civil rights, economic justice, and served his constituents and Nation well. As a founding member of the @TheBlackCaucus and Missouri’s first Black congressman,…
Nelson Mandela was a fearless visionary and an unwavering champion of justice who had the moral courage to fight for a world rooted in equity and unity. Today and throughout the weekend, we honor his enduring legacy and the profound impact of his life’s work—especially as we face…
In honor of the late Jordan McNair, a freshman on the University of Maryland football team who collapsed from heatstroke during practice on May 29, 2018, I reintroduced the Jordan McNair Student Athlete Heat Fatality Prevention Act along with @Sen_Alsobrooks, and with the support…
Thanks to @MayorBMScott's leadership and the hard work of the City's Police Department, #Baltimore is in the midst of a public safety transformation and continues to make real progress in building trust and improving neighborhood safety. Donald Trump's policies may be working…
Happy Independence Day—where we celebrate the birth of our nation! Let us march forward in the fight to uphold our nation’s fundamental values of justice, equality, and opportunity. #4thofJuly #IndependenceDay #July4th #FourthofJuly #HappyFourth
After over 24 hours straight, @HouseDemocrats pulled out all the stops to fight back against the One Big, Ugly Budget Bill because it will: ❌Strip 17 million people off of their healthcare; ❌Enact the largest cuts to #Medicaid and food and nutrition services like #SNAP in…
Rob Roblin was one of the friendliest persons I've ever known. He bore no judgement or ill will towards anyone. He loved his work and people loved him. We will miss his example of human caring. #RestInPeace #WBALTV11 #InLovingMemory
The WBAL-TV family is remembering our beloved friend and legendary Baltimore reporter, Rob Roblin. From serious to light-hearted stories, Robbie covered it all, and we will forever keep him in our hearts with profound love. wbaltv.com/article/rob-ro…
It was superb to welcome @JohnsHopkins to Washington, D.C. for Hopkins on the Hill—where representatives from the institution showcased the many exceptional ways their research helps America. The light burns bright for Johns Hopkins University! #HopkinsontheHill #JHU…
Had a valuable conversation with Commander Vance Scott—a proud Baltimorean who is one of just three African American active-duty commanding officers in the @USNavy submarine force. I continue to wish him the very best as he defends our nation during times of war and peace…
🎥WATCH: Joined @RepLucyMcBath to reflect on why I #WearOrange during Gun Violence Prevention Awareness Month. In #Baltimore, the City saw the fewest number of homicides in the first 5 months of any year on record. This progress is concrete evidence that the gun violence…
MAGA Republicans have managed to conjure up their own alternative Constitution to accommodate their backwards agenda for our country. But our constitution is crystal clear, and this is a very simple issue: if you are born in America, you are an American citizen. #SCOTUS…

Earlier this morning, I was briefed by Secretary of State Rubio, Defense Secretary Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Caine, and CIA Director Ratcliffe on the American strikes on Iranian nuclear sites and on general security issues in the Middle East. For the…
The only reason Trump and the DOJ are targeting federal judges in Maryland is because they refuse to bow down to his regime. The Trump Administration’s unprecedented actions are an egregious assault on separation of powers and the rule of law.
The Justice Department sued all 15 federal district court judges in Maryland over an order that pauses any deportations under legal challenge in the state for 48 hours. Legal experts described the move as an unprecedented attack on judicial independence. wapo.st/3GfqjjR
Americans deserve a reliable, efficient, and affordable USPS. Ranking Member @RepKweisiMfume stands up for Marylanders and Americans across the country who rely on the Postal Service.
By not consulting Congress before taking unilateral military action Donald Trump has once again failed to abide by the Constitution. He promised to bring peace to the Middle East. He is falling short on that promise.
