House Republicans just passed a $70 BILLION slush fund for ICE and CBP. No reforms. No guardrails. Nothing to lower your costs. That is why I voted no.
I joined the Army Alliance’s annual meeting last week to discuss how we can strengthen our partnership to advance our shared regional and national security goals.
I voted yes on Congresswoman Strickland’s amendment to uphold the work of this Committee and remove the Confederate names of bases — and I’m proud to share that this amendment passed the Committee bipartisanly!
⚾Tonight, I’ll be joining the longstanding bipartisan Congressional Baseball game as the Democrats’ first base coach, representing #TeamMaryland and raising millions of dollars for incredible charities in the DMV!
As the only Marylander on a defense or national security committee, a key part of my job is working alongside and in constant collaboration with our alliances to support their work on and off base.
Let me be clear: the renaming of Confederate bases is not about the history we are preserving – it’s about the history we are celebrating.
Aberdeen Proving Ground (APG) leads our nation in research, testing, and emerging technology – and for nearly three decades, APG’s Army Alliance has been crucial in supporting its mission.
It’s 2026, but the fight to stop renaming our military bases after Confederate soldiers continues. I had to speak up at last week’s Committee markup when a colleague erroneously accused Democrats of trying to erase history.
