For too long, ultra-rich Americans & mega corporations have been able to avoid paying taxes they owe — leaving working families holding the bag.
Thanks to our work to pass the Inflation Reduction Act, the IRS is cracking down on these wealthy tax cheats⬇️
The collapse of the Key Bridge is a national tragedy.
That's why
@POTUS
pledged that the federal government will cover 100% of the cost of rebuilding the bridge — and why ALL of federal

@POTUS
has long warned PM Netanyahu that invading Rafah would be a "red line” — it would result in untold civilian death & destruction, and undermine our efforts to return the hostages.
I applaud him for making clear today that the U.S. will not be complicit in this suffering.
🚨🚨🚨BREAKING: President Biden tells
@ErinBurnett
that if Israel invades the city of Rafah, the U.S. will stop supplying it with artillery shells, bombs for fighter jets and other offensive weapons
Yesterday the last victim of the Key Bridge collapse was recovered. And while this may bring them some peace, my heart remains with the families of the 6 men lost. We’re grateful for the 24/7 recovery efforts & we won’t stop working to support these families & all those impacted.

Kara-Murza has bravely spoken out against Putin’s assault on Ukraine. Yesterday, his words earned him a Pulitzer Prize — one he’s unable to receive because Putin imprisoned him for 25 yrs.
Putin can lock up his critics, but he cannot silence their voice.
A new report shows Social Security & Medicare are stronger under

. But if we don’t act, both will run out of $ during the next decade. MAGA Rs have threatened to cut SS & Medicare. We have bills to ensure their long-term solvency by requiring the wealthy to contribute more.
Katie Ledecky has made Maryland & our country proud for years. And while she has no shortage of medals, it was extra special to see

Congrats, Katie — hope there's room in your trophy cabinet for this one!🎖️
This is promising news for tens of thousands of Americans living with sickle cell disease.
Treatments like this should be accessible to far more people. I won’t stop fighting to pass my bills to expand sickle cell disease research & improve access to care.

#WorldPressFreedomDay
, I’m thinking of all the journalists who have been persecuted or killed, and all those currently detained—including US journalists Evan Gershkovich, Alsu Kurmasheva & Austin Tice. They bravely brought us the truth and we must never stop fighting for them.
Our first responders risk everything to keep our communities safe. On Fallen Heroes Day, we pay tribute to the police officers, firefighters and medical personnel who have died in the line of duty. We owe them and their families an insurmountable debt of gratitude.
Last week, Iraqi TikTok star Ghufran Mahdi Sawadi, known as Um Fahad, was assassinated in Baghdad — marking the third recent killing of a social media influencer in Iraq amid growing suppression of free speech.
The Iraqi government MUST find and hold her killers accountable.
The shooting of TikTok star Ghufran Mahdi Sawadi was the third within a year in Iraq involving a young social media personality. The killings come amid tightening laws and increasingly conservative attitudes in the country.
Lead pipes endanger the health of our communities, and especially our most vulnerable.
This $3 billion investment from the infrastructure modernization law — including nearly $30 million for Maryland — will move us closer to ensuring clean, safe drinking water for ALL Americans.
There are more than 9 million lead service lines across the nation. Today’s $3 billion investment to identify and replace these lines brings the U.S. closer to replacing 100% of lead service lines.

The scenes in Florida as the state's abortion ban goes into effect are devastating. Make no mistake — given the chance, MAGA Rs would impose a ban like this nationwide.
We cannot let them. We must pass a federal law codifying the right to choose NOW.
