It was great to have @POTUS in Baltimore tonight to answer questions on our #BuildBackBetterAgenda. As he said, it’s crucial that we pass our budget to support American workers, families, seniors, tackle the climate crisis, & more. We won’t stop until we get it done!
.@BmoreMentoring works with young men in Baltimore to help build strong future leaders. It was great to join this group of inspiring teens last weekend to answer questions about working in Congress & hear their thoughts on the issues facing our community and country.
Looking forward to welcoming @POTUS to the great city of Baltimore tonight & joining him at the town hall meeting as he answers Marylanders' questions on our work to #BuildBackBetter. Don't forget to tune in on CNN. https://www.baltimoresun.com/politics/bs-md-pol-biden-baltimore-town-hall-20211020-v3zgpr3h4zfsnlx5zvv2qfyvee-story.html
Our nation is based on upholding the rule of law, not the “rule of Trump.” Steve Bannon is attempting to obstruct our legal process, and he needs to be held accountable. The House made the right move.
BREAKING: The House has adopted the bipartisan H.Res.730, finding Stephen K. Bannon in contempt of Congress for failure to comply with a Congressional subpoena. The Speaker of the House will send the report to the Department of Justice for prosecution.
.@BrianFrosh represents the gold standard in public service. It’s been an honor to serve with him in various capacities since our days in the MD legislature. He still has much good work to do before his last day in office.
Maryland Attorney General Brian E. Frosh confirmed he will not seek re-election next year.

Millions who already qualify for free or low-cost health coverage don’t receive it simply b/c they don't know they're eligible. That's why I'm intro'ing a bill based on a simple but powerful idea: bring this info directly to folks filing their taxes & provide the chance to enroll
We got our answer: every single R just voted to use the filibuster to obstruct the #FreedomtoVoteAct that is needed to protect our democracy. It's past time we take axn to end the use of this antiquated, anti-democratic tool they are deploying to defeat progress #EndTheFilibuster
Today is a key test: will any GOP senator be willing to stop obstructing our ability to debate & vote on the #FreedomtoVoteAct OR will they cave to Trump’s Big Lie & use the anti-democratic tool of the filibuster to prevent us from having a vote on the right to vote?

Exciting news for Baltimore County: the Towson Loop – a free transit service connecting sites across downtown Towson is now running! I was proud to work w/ @BaltCoExec & partners to secure federal funding & help make this project a reality. We need to keep connecting communities.
The wait is over! We can now #TakeARideOnTheLoop! 🚎💨

The U.S. Congress should not be micromanaging the affairs of the people of the District of Columbia. Local governance should be left to the elected leaders of D.C. It’s always good to partner with @EleanorNorton to fight for D.C. autonomy and statehood.
Thank you to @ChrisVanHollen, a champion of #DCStatehood and DC autonomy, for removing the enacted FY21 riders from the Senate’s FY22 DC spending bill: prohibitions on DC spending local funds on abortions for low-income women and on recreational marijuana commercialization.
