The President has no power to impose martial law. Only Congress can suspend habeas corpus. Stand strong for the Constitution everybody and keep fighting for strong democracy. And don’t be deterred by all the static — send in your mail-in ballot or get ready to vote early!

Hey Maryland, here's why you should vote FOR Question 3 on November 3. Let’s do this!

Young people interested in democratic socialism—not the psychotic Stalinism of Trump’s friends Kim Jong Un, President Xi and Vladimir Putin!—are more than welcome in the Democratic Party I believe in. Young Americans are not talking about the dictatorship of the proletariat or seizing the means of production. They just want healthcare for everyone in the richest country in the world, a dramatically increased minimum wage and to get rid of corporate rule by our dangerous billionaire oligarchs. Down with Trump and the octogenarian oligarchs; power to young America.

Tuesday I thanked nurses, doctors & pharmacists at MedStar Georgetown who serve with splendid kindness—and saved my life over 5 months. I finished 6 rounds of 5-day chemo sessions—which they organized so I didn’t have to miss votes or hearings—and I rang the bell! A new chapter begins.

Last night my friend Maxwell Alejandro Frost showed me Donald Trump’s Truth Social posting urging MAGA to expel me from Congress. Apparently Trump doesn’t appreciate our fight against his $1.776 billion slush fund or his outrageous attack against the Southern Poverty Law Center. Sorry, Mr. President, I’m not going anywhere but back to the front lines of the fight against corruption and authoritarianism.

It's time for the liberals, progressives, radicals, and conservatives to come together and take America back from MAGA and Donald Trump. We must save all of the freedoms and progress we have fought for and we must keep making essential progress for our people.

When he stood at Gettysburg and said, “Four score and seven years ago,” Lincoln pinned the beginnings of the country not in the writing of the Constitution, which had still not been transformed by the Civil War and Reconstruction, but in the Declaration of Independence, which proclaimed the values of equality, unalienable freedom, and democratic self-government. These values have been the driving force towards a more perfect Union.

The best predictor of a successful coup is a recently failed one where the plotters learn the weaknesses in the existing structure and then regroup to try again. There must be no second chances for coup plotters, which is what Section 3 of the 14th Amendment is all about.

I have a breakthrough idea for something that should be renamed for Donald Trump, so we can finally have some unanimous bipartisan support for one of these renaming bills. Forget the Trump-Kennedy Center, the Trump Dulles Airport and adding Trump to Mt. Trump-Rushmore. This one is the real deal.

I just went to Annapolis and filed for re-election to represent Maryland’s beautiful 8th District in the U.S. House of Representatives. I was in the same building I visited 20 years ago when I first ran for the State Senate. We’ve been through a lot together in the last two decades, with ups and downs, victories and tragedies. But we’ve always fought hard for progress for our people: marriage equality, abolition of the death penalty, restoration of voting rights for former prisoners, National Popular Vote, infrastructure investment, affordable housing, universal health care, economic empowerment and bold climate action. We’re still in the fight of our lives, and I will stand by your side every day to advance strong democracy and freedom in 2026 and beyond.

Donald Trump has no authority to hold up billions of dollars for infrastructure funding—much less hold it up because of his narcissistic obsession with naming things after himself. Congress appropriated that money and the President must release it. And he should get help on that megalomania issue.
