Hope President Carter is finally resting in what he prized above all: peace. He was a true public servant, dedicated to uplifting the least among us around the globe. His humility is something all those in elected office should seek to emulate.

Cast my final vote in public office to keep the government open, of all things. We need to get back to fulfilling our basic duty of passing our annual budget bills instead of these 11th hour stop-gaps that satisfy no one. I’ll miss doing my part, but I sure won’t miss the chaos.

MD loses $2 BILLION if Congress doesn't pass the #BIPARTISAN disaster relief package. We had a deal that's now threatened thanks to the dangerous demands of an unelected multibillionaire who doesn’t have to worry what happens to his home if disaster strikes. Let’s pass this NOW.

Also worth highlighting: our stop-gap funding bill includes reimbursement for the victims of SNAP theft thru Sept ‘28 - a huge win that required some grit. Reimbursement (set to expire w/o action) has helped more than 300k victimized households this year alone.

Thrilled (and relieved) to hear our short-term funding bill will cover the cost of the Key Bridge, which was absolutely nonnegotiable for those of us who represent the people and businesses whose lives have been upended since its collapse. Team Maryland was heard.

This award means the world to me, especially as I approach my retirement. National security has been my priority since I came to Congress in 2003, and it has been an honor to support our Army, its soldiers and their families every year since.

On this day sixty-nine years ago, the Montgomery Bus Boycott began. This peaceful protest was one of the foundational events of the Civil Rights Movement and played a vital role in the integration of public buses.
