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.

I took a moment after votes this week to call back Abigail, a sixth grader who reached out to my office about a school project! Especially during busy weeks in Congress, I’m so grateful to speak with young people who continue to lean in & participate in their government as our Founders envisioned.

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.

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.

We’re less than one week away from our first Service Academy Nomination Forum!

Russia’s inability to wage war and its disregard for human life lead to these senseless war crimes. Even amid the killing of Ukrainian civilians, Ukraine has preserved its values. Full support for Ukraine now — no concessions, no empty words, only action.

As communities struggle under President Trump's cuts to food assistance, they're also dealing with his tariffs at a cost of $1,600 a household. My constituents are being squeezed on both sides—paying more after cuts to food assistance while seeing higher grocery bills.

We need to fix health care and make food affordable before we even think about sinking billions more into unpopular foreign wars.

Sorry for bad video..in the hospital. We pay these climate denier's salary as they brag about gutting sustainable energy options because coal is so clean & you can't industrialize without it. 🤮 And with all those billions for the fossil fuel in the big ugly bill, they can really kill the climate.
