.UNICEF & World Health Organization (WHO) have called for an IMMEDIATE PAUSE in hostilities in Gaza to vaccinate children against the further spread of the insidious poliovirus. President Biden should do the same. As we work toward a permanent ceasefire & return of hostages, we must stop the spread of polio NOW.

Connecting Baltimore communities — and connecting Baltimoreans with opportunity. That's what the Red Line is all about, and why Team Maryland is working so hard to finally get it done.

With the Inflation Reduction Act, we’re lowering Rx costs for millions of Americans on Medicare. But that’s not our only goal — we want to expand those savings to ALL Americans. If Republicans got out of our way, we’d have it done in a heartbeat.   We won’t stop fighting.

As we mark 61 years since the March on Washington, we honor the civil rights heroes who fought to bend the arc of the moral universe towards justice. The work to ensure equal rights & voting rights for all continues. We must pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act now.

These rules will prevent bad actors & corrupt foreign oligarchs from using the U.S. real estate market to launder their ill-gotten gains. This may not get much attention, but it's something we’ve long pushed for. Thankful to Secretary Janet Yellen for getting it done!apnews.com/article/real-e…

The #Paralympics are officially underway in Paris! It's already been a historic summer for Maryland athletes, and I know our Paralympians will continue to make us proud. We'll be rooting for you!🥇baltimoresun.com/2024/08/28/par…

.Vladimir Kara-Murza's writing from a Russian prison won him a Pulitzer Prize — and his words as a free man will be just as vital. This harrowing account of his last days in captivity is a must-read & a reminder that hundreds are still prisoners to Putin's regime:washingtonpost.com/opinions/2024/…

According to a new report, seniors will save over $1K a year thanks to our work to cap the cost of Medicare Part D drugs with the Inflation Reduction Act. That's huge news for millions of Americans & our economy. As a reminder: every Republican voted NO. thehill.com/policy/healthc…

Yet another attack on press freedom in Hong Kong—where dissent has been all but outlawed under Beijing's draconian "National Security Law." We need to hold those subverting freedom accountable using tools we passed in my bipartisan Hong Kong Autonomy Act. nytimes.com/2024/08/28/wor…

We’ve worked with President Biden & Vice President Kamala Harris to secure historic investments in American manufacturing and accelerate the deployment of clean energy across the country. And in just two years since we passed the Inflation Reduction Act, we’re already seeing the results. cnbc.com/2024/08/20/inf…

Horrified by the news that 6 hostages have been murdered by Hamas — including Israeli-American Hersh Goldberg-Polin. I’ve met with Hersh’s family in my office and in Israel. My heart breaks for all these families.  All the hostages must be released & the war brought to an end.

Workers are the backbone of our country. On #LaborDay, we celebrate them and all the incredible accomplishments of the labor movement — including the extraordinary progress unions have made under President Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris. Now, we need to build on that success by passing the #PROAct!

What a win last night for Maryland’s own Frances Tiafoe — who is heading to his third straight #USOpen quarterfinal! You’ve built up a lot of momentum, Frances, and we’ll be rooting for you through the finish line. Let’s go Tiafoe!

Here's the bottom line: Republicans in Congress have blocked our efforts to guarantee access to IVF & birth control. In states, they've passed extreme abortion bans that endanger women's lives. MAGA Republicans will say all kinds of things — but actions speak louder than words.

Doesn’t get much better than an all-American duel at the #USOpen! While we really can’t lose in this one, I’ll be rooting for Marylander Frances Tiafoe — who is back in the semifinals for the second time and making our state proud every day. Way to go, Frances Tiafoe!

We're only a few days into the school year, and we've already seen a deadly shooting at an American school. My heart breaks for the victims and their families, and for all whose lives will forever be impacted by this tragedy. We need to stop this horrific cycle of gun violence.

In the midst of a busy summer, I’m glad Senator Ben Cardin and I were able to take a quick break to resolve one of the great regional disputes of our time. Maryland’s honor has been restored: the Orange Crush is ours.

Maryland has huge potential for harnessing offshore wind to create good-paying jobs, cut energy costs and fight the climate crisis.   This move by President Biden is the latest milestone in our work to accelerate wind energy deployment in Maryland and across the country.

3 U.S. citizens have now been killed in the West Bank in 11 months. There MUST be justice & accountability. The Netanyahu gvt hasn't provided that & the Biden Admin needs to do more to obtain it. Those responsible must be held accountable & the DOJ must take action if necessary:

Another heartbreaking tragedy — this time here in Maryland. This is not what back-to-school should look like. My thoughts are with the victim's family and the entire Joppatowne High School community. We won't stop fighting to keep our communities safe from gun violence.
