These detention warehouses should be sold. They never belonged in our communities.
But before ICE walks away, Congress should find out who approved paying inflated prices for them—and why taxpayers were stuck with the bill.

The agency is also considering selling several planes ICE purchased for deportations under former Secretary Kristi Noem, but no decisions have been made.

Pride Month is a celebration of authenticity, community, and resilience. As your representative, I proudly stand with LGBTQI+ Americans in MD-06 and across the country today and every day.

Happy Jewish American Heritage Month! As we end the month of May, we celebrate the rich heritage and many ways Jewish Americans have shaped our culture and society.

These comments are unhinged! While it is apparent that he is increasingly out of touch with reality, serves his own ego at the expense of the American people and is ever more vindictive and angry — the more pressing question is whether he continues to have the capacity and mental judgment necessary to continue to be President. I think not!

Trump just posted a full-blown essay melting down over today’s federal court ruling requiring his name to be removed from the Kennedy Center and preventing him from shutting it down. Trump blames Barack Obama and the “Radical Left” while declaring he’s no longer interested in running the institution.

A historic crash out.

When Donald Trump turned the Kennedy Center into a monument to himself, I introduced legislation to stop him.

Today, a federal judge—following Congresswoman Joyce Beatty's legal challenge—ruled that Trump's name was illegally added and reaffirmed that only Congress has the authority to make that change.

This ruling validates what we argued from the beginning: the Kennedy Center belongs to the American people, not to Donald Trump or any president seeking to put their personal brand on a national treasure.

This is an important victory, but the fight isn't over. Congress must act to permanently prevent presidents from using our national institutions, memorials, and landmarks as vehicles for self-promotion.

A federal judge temporarily blocked President Trump from officially renaming the Kennedy Center. U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper found the board did not have the authority to rename the facility on its own.

Donald Trump spent years using NDAs to keep people quiet. Now he's trying to bring the same playbook to the federal government.

Federal employees serve the American people—not any president. The 35,000 federal workers in Maryland's Sixth District should be free to report wrongdoing without fear of retaliation.

Experts warned the measure, when combined with the federal HR agency’s new power to target employees’ suitability for federal employment, creates a new pathway for Trump administration officials to purge those deemed insufficiently loyal to the president.

A major step toward stopping one of the most outrageous abuses of taxpayer dollars we've seen. Taxpayer money should serve the American people—not bankroll Trump's political allies and loyalists.

The temporary order halts any payments from the controversial fund.

The United States needs to be the leader in biotechnology.

As a member of the House Science, Space, and Technology Committee, I introduced the bipartisan SCALE Act to help establish the gold standard for biotechnology and ensure America remains the global leader in innovation, public health, and national security.

The future won’t wait. Neither should we.

When costs rise, women are often hit first and hardest.

That's why I brought together women leaders from across Montgomery County to discuss the affordability challenges facing families and the solutions needed to bring costs down and opportunities up.

Thank you to Comptroller Brooke Lierman, Delegate Lily Qi, and moderator Paula Ross for a thoughtful conversation focused on supporting working families, caregivers, and the next generation of Marylanders.
