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.

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.

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.

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.

In Maryland we didn’t spend tens of millions of taxpayer dollars turning reflecting pools murky algae-green or throwing a fake state fair with near-zero attendance, but we did spend the day talking about the Declaration of Independence and the great fight for freedom and democracy against tyranny here and all over the world.

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.

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.

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.

I just got back from Charlottesville, Virginia where I urged everyone to VOTE YES on today's referendum. While in Charlottesville, I visited Heather Heyer Way, named after the young activist in the prime of her life killed by a neo-Nazi. It's important for us to reflect on those people we've lost in this struggle, and take from them the conviction and determination we need to defend democracy and freedom in America.

Under the federal law Congress passed overwhelmingly, Trump’s DOJ was obliged to turn over every document in the Epstein file, but they turned over just a fraction and it was heavily redacted. We’re in a lawless situation, but we’re going to expose the corruption suppressing the Epstein file and all the other corrupt business deals, rip-offs and scams taking place in the Executive branch.
