Join me and Rep. Jared Huffman in celebrating May 4 as a #NationalDayofReason in America. With democracy under siege by authoritarians, theocrats and frauds, we're putting truth, critical thinking and common sense back on the public agenda—and on the calendar. raskin.house.gov/2024/5/raskin-…

I strongly support Leader Jeffries’ request to bring the bipartisan, bicameral Countering Antisemitism Act to the floor as soon as possible to bolster President Biden’s National Strategy to Counter Antisemitism. Let us act in unity against this ancient hatred & resurgent threat.

Americans are suffering the consequences of climate change, but there’s no help from the carbon kings who profit from it. Senate Budget Committee’s hearing will expose Big Oil's efforts to shirk responsibility for overheating the planet and to block real climate action.

Justine Wood has donated 600+ hours of her time to @everymindinc, supporting our community through the 988 Crisis Lifeline. During National Volunteer Appreciation Week, we're saluting this #MD08 Local Hero for her deep devotion to mental health and wellbeing.

Justice Alito suggested this week that holding presidents accountable for their crimes could encourage them to commit more crimes to stay in power and avoid prosecution!

If the Court embraces this masochistic Trumpian nonsense, they should move their chambers over to the RNC HQ.

Deeply saddened to learn of my colleague Rep. Donald M. Payne, Jr.’s passing. His legacy will be a lifetime of conscientious service & an unswerving commitment to delivering results for America & NJ. I’m sending my sympathy to his family, friends & staff as they mourn this loss.

On Passover, I'm sending wishes for freedom, peace and liberation to our Jewish community in Maryland and to people across the world. We say a special prayer for release of the hostages. Chag Sameach!

Earth Day reminds us to celebrate our planet's beauty & appreciate its bounty—& to legislate forcefully to protect it. Through major climate victories reducing emissions & promoting clean energy, like the Inflation Reduction Act, Democrats are united behind our people and planet.

Maryland & America owe a debt of gratitude to first responders like #MD08 Local Hero & U.S. Coast Guard Petty Officer Scott Cover, who sprang to action after the Key bridge collapse. Facing a catastrophe with courage, their efforts are helping us recover & rebuild.

Passover is a beautiful celebration of freedom and the Jewish people's Exodus from captivity and bondage but as we prepare for Pesach this year, more than 130 hostages remain imprisoned in Gaza. Securing the safe release of every hostage must be paramount in our minds and hearts.

More than $12 million is on the way to fund fifteen major new projects across Maryland's Eighth District!

Proud to secure these federal investments in our public and transit safety, green energy, environment, economic development and common future.

This Freedom Caucus Memo calls Putin’s war against Ukraine—involving hundreds of thousands of troops, savage mass violence, rape and kidnapping—a “border security” problem. Putin’s little helpers oppose any bill supporting Ukrainian freedom.

President Shafik of Columbia University says “antisemitism isn’t a problem for Jewish people to solve. It’s actually a problem for all of us.' I applaud her commitment to confront this toxic threat.

The great Yale professor & historian Timothy Snyder testified before Oversight today about foreign authoritarian propaganda in a democratic society—& then some GOP colleagues demonstrated how it works.
Thanks for your passionate defense of democracy in America & Ukraine, Tim!

Donald Trump stood trial today, accused of cooking the books to cover up illegal hush money payments before the '16 election.

Whether it's political violence or fraud, you can't commit electoral interference with impunity in a constitutional democracy.

This direct attack on our ally Israel by Iran, an authoritarian terror state, is unacceptable. Israel, aided by America and others, thwarted the attack. We stand in ironclad solidarity with the people of Israel against efforts by fanatics to ignite catastrophic regional war.

Sending my warmest wishes to the Sikh American community and everyone around the world celebrating #Vaisakhi for a day of joy, plenty and peace.
