    When American talking heads spread misinformation it’s not only harmful at home but also abroad. Putin is doing everything he can to hide the truth & Tucker Carlson is feeding into his playbook. Americans & the Russian people deserve the facts about what’s going on in Ukraine.

    Leaving President Zelenskyy’s speech was sickening to hear GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy attacking, not Putin, but . Somebody needs to tell him who the real enemy is & to stop playing politics with the defense of freedom in Ukraine. We’re all in this together.

    The FBI's current HQ fails to meet the Bureau’s needs & for years we've fought to build one at a more secure location. Trump tried to stop us but we just got a provision in the FY2022 Omnibus to put us back on track to build it at 1 of 2 sites in MD or 1 in VA.

    Today, we honor Harriet Tubman, a MDer who escaped slavery & saved countless others in the fight for freedom. Every American should know her name as we strive to live by her example – that's why I will continue to fight to honor her w/ a statue in the Capitol.
