Scammers are stealing billions from Americans who then face unjust federal taxes on their losses. Yesterday, I met my constituent Judith Boivin of Rockville on National Scam Survivor Day. Brave survivors like her are motivating our work to bring scammers to justice and pass urgent tax relief for scam victims. Thank you, Judith, and all who share their stories.
It was an honor to welcome to Capitol Hill 8th District students who were nominated and received appointment offers to U.S. Service Academies. These exceptionally talented young people will go on to serve as military officers and leaders in different parts of the government and society.
During AAPI Heritage Month, this week's MD-08 Local Hero is Judge Chung Pak who leads Maryland's Office of Administrative Hearings. An accomplished legal mind, active community presence and effective administrator, Judge Pak makes sure our people get a fair and impartial administrative hearing on matters relating to a state agency. https://t.co/d3nHRFZBDj
House Republicans have abandoned all pretense of even trying to lower costs for the American people. With their poll numbers—and President Trump's—sinking like a stone, they’re working to pass culture-war resolutions and plutocratic legislation to penalize the poor instead of bringing down the high cost of gas, groceries, housing and health care. Democrats are working to make life affordable again for our people. MAGA Republicans want to placate Donald Trump and serve the billionaire class.
President Trump, his family and his closest advisors are violating our Constitution, plundering taxpayer dollars and exploiting our government for personal gain. Today, @RepRobertGarcia, @RepJoeMorelle and I will introduce the Protecting Our Democracy Act to strengthen our democracy and protect our people from corrupt presidents who believe they are above the law.
Today, the House voted overwhelmingly to send a pro-democracy message to Trump ahead of his summit with Xi. The President must listen and do all he can to secure the immediate release of Apple Daily publisher Jimmy Lai and other prisoners of conscience languishing behind bars in China.

Everyone knows President Trump told the truth for once when he said he didn’t care about “Americans’ financial situation.” MAGA’s terrified by massive popular rejection of their terrible policies. That's why the Roberts Court just shredded the Voting Rights Act and is trying to gerrymander Black and Hispanic Americans into oblivion. We must fight for an economy that serves the people by defending democracy and the right to vote.
In his first term, President Trump ran a brick-and-mortar grift. Now the corruption has gone digital. The Trump family is using the presidency to line their pockets with billions of dollars, all while Americans struggle to pay for groceries, gas and health care. Let them eat crypto…
I join elected leaders from across party and geographic lines to condemn the imbecilic and appallingly racist and xenophobic comments made by two state Delegates about their colleague, Del. Chao Wu. In the beautifully diverse Free State of Maryland, we will never tolerate dangerous attacks on our AAPI neighbors based on where they were born and how they speak. Everyone in our state should renounce and denounce these defamatory attacks. https://t.co/sdPp48LTa0
