It was a privilege to speak at this year’s breakfast before heading to the Hill this week, share a report on the good, bad, and ugly of Washington, and make sure folks know my office is always here to aid the business community and all neighbors.

No one has been immune from the recent chaos of Washington - unpredictable tariffs, historic cuts to healthcare funding, and the loss of tens of thousands of federal direct jobs and contractor work have all impacted our community.

These are not easy times, but it is all of you who give me hope during the darkest of days. Thank you to @indivisiblehocomd.bsky.social for the fast, on-the-ground organizing. Please continue to lean in, show up, and speak up for our neighbors. It is the only way forward.

At a time when the American people are demanding full accountability and real checks and balances, it has become abundantly clear that the Republican majority in Congress has abdicated all oversight responsibilities and turned a blind eye to the weaponization of ICE by this President.

➡️ I’ve co-sponsored legislation to require greater oversight of immigration enforcement officers, including body cameras and greater accountability to Congress.

➡️ I will vote NO on blank checks for DHS and ICE.

Here’s what Democrats are doing to fight back:

➡️ I’ve joined my colleagues in Congress to demand answers from DHS and ICE and a complete and credible investigation of Good’s death.

This win is also critical because folks the President attempted in his first term to completely zero-out the Bay Program’s budget. Hard work and persistent advocacy by folks within the Bay watershed have paid off!

The investments we make today – in combating pollution, preserving water quality, and protecting against invasive species – will ensure that future generations can enjoy the Bay for many years to come.

I sat down with the new Bay Program Director Dan Coogan & Regional Administrator Amy Van Blarcom-Lackey to discuss the Beyond 2025 Bay Agreement, strategies to combat invasive species like the blue catfish, & ways we can work together to support the health & habitat of the Bay across the watershed.

I look forward to continuing to work closely with Major Birckhead to support Maryland’s National Guard.

This week, @repjohnnyo.bsky.social & I sat down with Major General Birckhead & her team to discuss the priorities of the Maryland National Guard going into 2026 – including their transition to an expanded cyber mission, personnel retention & funding, & new systems to improve emergency response.

This is a real movement towards advancing solutions to address the health care and affordability crises too many of our neighbors are facing.

While today’s legislation is not perfect, this more than $10 million federal investment aimed at making our communities safer, protecting our natural resources, and providing resources to our most vulnerable is crucial for our shared future.
