I joined Tom Fitzgerald’s ‘On the Hill’ this morning to discuss why mid-cycle redistricting in Maryland is the wrong path for our State. There’s fighting fire with fire, and then there’s unintentionally burning your own house down in the process. Maryland cannot afford to cede

For shame.

Fascism and Jim Crow never died, it simply evolved. His name was Demartravion "Trey" Reed and he was lynched at Delta State University in Cleveland, Mississippi.

Please see my statement on today’s security threats.

Today, I requested the DOJ explain their intentions with the voter registration list. Absent particularized & detailed concerns, a demand for the entire voter list, incl. sensitive PII that is not publicly available, w/o evidence or support, is an overreach & unreasonable

My statement on Kilmar Abrego Garcia’s release from custody and return to Maryland: Every person is afforded their right to due process by the Constitution, and from the start, we’ve asked that due process be followed—meaning everyone receives proper notice of the allegations

Recently @md_sbe has received numerous calls regarding the release of the voter registration list to the DOJ. I sent a letter requesting what the intended use of list will be. Maryland voters have a right to know. The list may not used in a manner of intimidation, only electoral

Surely 400,000+ Marylanders aren’t losing their very much needed Medicaid and SNAP benefits for this.

@FTC Nonpartisan agencies ensure decisions are made based on law and facts, not political bias. This safeguards democratic integrity

For months, North Carolina Republicans tried to deny the will of voters. But, despite it all, democracy prevailed. I am grateful for @AllisonJRiggs' fight to ensure that every vote was counted and voice was heard, especially those serving in our military and overseas.

The Trump administration is trying to rewrite how our elections work—stripping voters of their rights, punishing states that don’t comply, and threatening our democracy. Today, we filed a motion to stop this unlawful executive order from taking effect. Maryland’s elections

TY to the ⁦@LWVMD⁩ Anne Arundel County for inviting me to deliver the keynote speech at the annual dinner. I love engaging people about elections, voting, voting rights history, disinformation and the future of our democracy.

It was great to attend the @LWVMD "Making Democracy Work" event earlier this week! Thanks to @LWVMD for their leadership in defending our democracy.

At @LWVMD Breakfast w/ @GovWesMoore. Great to celebrate passage of my Language Assistance Bill HB983 w/ @CommonCauseMD and the @NAACP. Pictured are my Sorors Sen @ShanekaHenson, @EmergeMaryland Exec Dir Diane Emerson, and the ladies of Delta Sigma Theta.

I said my main goal of this trip was to meet with Kilmar. Tonight I had that chance. I have called his wife, Jennifer, to pass along his message of love. I look forward to providing a full update upon my return.

NEWS: Sen. Chris Van Hollen requested a meeting w/Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele this week to talk about MD father Kilmar Abrego Garcia's return. "If Kilmar is not home by midweek – I plan to travel to El Salvador this week to check on his condition and discuss his release."

Disappointing, but not surprising

Thank you to Marylands own Senators @Sen_Alsobrooks and @ChrisVanHollen for joining @CoryBooker in his monumental stand against authoritarianism! Voting rights are under attack and today our Senators stood for what was right!

.@SenSchumer: "Would the Senator yield for a question?" @SenBooker: "Chuck Schumer, it's the only time in my life I can tell you no." Schumer: "I just wanted to tell you, a question, do you know you have just broken the record?"
