After 108 days and 2,000 miles — walking from Fort Worth, TX to Washington, sometimes barefoot and through the snow — these monks completed their Walk of Peace.

Welcoming them to Capitol Hill was incredibly special.

Climate change is not an opinion. It is a fact – and it hurts all of us.

President Trump’s denial of climate change and repeal of the endangerment finding threaten public health and our planet — undermining the EPA’s core mission to protect us from dangerous air pollution.

This week marks one year since Trump’s mass firing of 300,000 federal workers and I’m demanding answers.

From NIST and NIH to Fort Detrick, the fallout hit our district hard.

No ICE detention center in Washington County. Not on my watch.

I introduced a bill to block ICE from opening a detention center in Washington County.

These facilities are failing basic standards of decency. People are not packages.

I voted NO on the SAVE Act.

Non-citizen voting is already illegal in federal elections.

When politicians can’t win voters, they try to pick them.

I’m VOTING NO on the SAVE ACT because it will:

➡️ Require proof of citizenship at poll sites — like a passport or birth certificate — documents millions of Americans don’t carry with them

➡️ Charge Americans up to $130 to obtain paperwork

ICE bought a warehouse in Williamsport for a 1,500-person detention facility.

I’m fighting to stop it — and I need to hear from you.

Take my quick survey and make your voice heard ⬇️

I’m taking action to keep ICE out of Washington County.

Today, I introduced the Keep ICE Out of Washington County, Maryland Act to block ICE’s secret plan to turn a warehouse in Williamsport into a 1,500-person detention center.
February 10, 2026 at 5:06 PM
We strongly oppose DHS's plan to turn a warehouse near Hagerstown into a 1,500-person ICE detention center.

Today, I joined Senator Van Hollen and Senator Alsobrooks in pressing the Washington County Board of County Commissioners for answers.

Horrified by today’s shooting at Thomas Wootton High School in Rockville. I’m in touch with @raskin.house.gov and Montgomery County officials to check on those injured and HOW a gun entered the school. As a mom & Montgomery County resident, this shakes me to the core.

Bad Bunny’s #SuperBowl performance was extraordinary! In this polarizing time, he lifted up unity through a celebration of his Puerto Rican upbringing and an ethos of love triumphant over hate, of hope, light, and family. Diversity is our strength and unity is our power.

A big day for downtown Frederick. Team Delaney joined Gov. Wes Moore and community leaders to celebrate the groundbreaking of the new hotel and conference center.

The President’s post targeting Former President Barack Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama is rooted in hatred and racism. This is who he is—and what he’s willing to normalize. It is unacceptable. 
 
Every leader who believes in basic decency must speak out now.
Silence is complicity.
White House removes Trump post with racist footage of Obamas hours after defending it
The footage is included in a video that promotes false claims that the 2020 presidential election was rigged against Mr. Trump.

Trump’s latest executive order—driven by the cruel, Machiavellian agenda of Miller and Vought—puts another 50,000 career public servants at risk, including thousands of dedicated Marylanders who keep our government running every day.
February 5, 2026 at 9:54 PM
Team Delaney was thrilled to join our Frederick neighbors and celebrate African Americans of Excellence night at the Weinberg, honoring local figures of Black History. Congratulations to all the Honorees!

Public transit connects Marylanders to jobs, schools, and opportunity.

I joined WMATA’s Annual Meeting celebrating 50 years of connecting Maryland, DC, and Virginia.

During my visit to the Baltimore ICE facility, a career DHS employee said to me, “This is not who I am, but what I do.” I told them: “What we do is who we are.” The horrible conditions I witnessed are happening under Kristi Noem’s leadership.

An attack on journalism hurts all of us. The Washington Post’s 300+ layoffs are alarming and a direct threat to accountability. A free press is essential—now more than ever—to hold those in power accountable for what they say and do. #DemocracyDiesInDarkness

Washington Post begins sweeping layoffs
Sports coverage, international and the paper's podcast are among those hit the hardest as the storied newspaper struggles with declining revenue.

I voted no on funding DHS—even for 10 days. While I voted two weeks ago for five appropriation bills to keep federal agencies operating through the remainder of the year, I cannot vote to fund ICE.
February 3, 2026 at 11:24 PM
Kristi Noem needs to go home.

ICE’s abuses are happening every day because she allows them to. We’re demanding accountability, safeguards, and an end to this cruelty.

Impeach Noem. Stop funding abuse. Enough is enough.
February 3, 2026 at 6:17 PM
Today, I stood shoulder to shoulder with the Hispanic Caucus, Black Caucus, Women’s Caucus, New Dems, and Progressive Caucus—united in one message: Kristi Noem must be impeached.

Happy #GroundhogDay District 6! Punxsutawney Phil in our neighboring state saw his shadow this morning and predicts six more weeks of winter weather! Stay safe and keep warm, and remember April will come soon!

What we do is who we are—and we have to stand up for our values.

There is no “law and order” in terrorizing pregnant women, abducting grandmothers seeking asylum, and abandoning kids in freezing temperatures.

This is Kristi Noem’s and Acting Director Lyons’ cruelty. And cruelty is who they are.
