In this week’s House Armed Services Committee hearing, I used my time to ensure we are conducting oversight of the Trump Administration’s Department of Defense and getting answers on mitigating civilian casualties everywhere, and especially in the midst of this irresponsible war in Iran.

In honor of Police Week, I took a moment on the House Floor to recognize 20 incredible members of the Annapolis Police Department who received the Life Saving Award and the Meritorious Service Award for their heroism and outstanding service.

Good news: We voted down Congresswoman Mace’s amendment to let fears of alleged “woke bias” undermine years of standardized, merit-based admissions. If we care about fairness & maintaining rigorous admissions standards, we should rely on assessments that are thoroughly validated and widely accepted.

Having represented the United States Naval Academy for eight years, I've seen firsthand the impact that cultural, religious, academic, and identity-based student organizations have made on our midshipmen – preparing them to handle complex missions and lead diverse teams around the globe.

Last year, when swastikas and nooses were downgraded from prohibited "hate symbols" to "potentially divisive" imagery, it was clear we needed to clarify our laws. There are many nuanced and complex policy issues up for debate today – this is not one of them.

Big News: At the House Armed Services Committee hearing, I used my time to ensure Secretary Hegseth committed to finally releasing the $400 million for Ukraine that Congress bipartisanly authorized.

On the Beyond the Hyphen podcast, I spoke with Mark Li – an incredible high schooler at River Hill – about an issue that’s top of mind for so many young people in this country: the affordability crisis.

As the proud daughter of a BLET Local 71 railworker, I know the long nights, weekends, and many sacrifices our railworkers make throughout their careers.

I didn’t come to Congress to bicker with Cabinet secretaries - I came to get answers and deliver for my District.

🇺🇸Stars and Stripes has served as a trusted, nonpartisan source of news for servicemembers and military families for over 165 years. Yet, Secretary Hegseth wants the Department of Defense to take more editorial control over the paper – putting partisan politics over a free press.

🇺🇸TRUMP: “I paused a U.S. strike on Iran because Gulf leaders asked for more time to negotiate.” Gulf officials Today: “We didn’t know about any imminent U.S. attack.” TRUMP HAS BECOME A LAUGHING STOCK😂🤡

~ReTHUGlicans, REALLY ? PEDO-POTUS, Whiney Lindsey Graham, JD Couchumper, Rafael "Ted" Cruz, Krazy Eyes Kash Patel & others seem to have forgotten that they are RECORDED when INTERVIEWED!! UNFIT, LYING, SELF-RIGHTEOUS, HYPOCRITICAL, ENTITLED, POTUS ASS KISSERS. DO what I say. NOT what I do.

I used to think I had to follow the "standard" path, but sometimes not getting what you want forces you to look elsewhere, to find the vibrant, chaotic, and beautiful patterns you didn’t know you were missing. This controller isn't just gear; it's a reminder that life is better in color.

May 12, 2026. A storm with strong winds and hail has hit northern Italy. Windows have been shattered in shopping centers and on cars, fallen trees have blocked roads, and the agricultural sector has suffered serious damage.

This is not even mentioning the literal arming and trainjng of the fascist contras during this time, look up Iran contra, but the point stands: If you stand for democracy, you stand against imperial sanctions and you cannot have one without the other.

Most businesses cut marketing in Q4. Smart owners do the opposite. Spend more when competitors are quiet and capture the attention others are missing. ▶️: https://www.youtube.com/live/UxqZJSfm3hk?si=FtUD5WxREImQXdiP #marketing #entrepreneurship #digitalmarketing #untraditionalentrepreneur

3 days 72 hours and the Syrian rebels are back in Aleppo. The Syrian Arab army isn't just on the backfoot, its tumbling backward while trying to stay upward. While Assad's allies are otherwise preoccupied, Russian airstrikes aren't tipping the balance enough to stop the advance.
