Proudly serving Maryland's beautiful Eighth Congressional District and leading @HouseJudiciary Committee Democrats in Congress.

There is nothing magical or sacred about having nine Supreme Court justices. Congress has repeatedly expanded—and reduced—the size of the Supreme Court. Now, after abdicating war powers, spending powers, tariff power and the power to control federal structures and buildings like the White House and the Reflecting Pool, this MAGA-controlled Congress wants to relinquish yet another essential constitutional power that goes back to the Founding—the power to fix the size of the Supreme Court. I argued and voted ‘NO.’

House Democrats fell for nothing last week and badly defeated MAGA’s attempt to surrender yet another power of Congress (beyond war powers, tariff powers and the power over federal buildings like the White House and Kennedy Center) by freezing the size of the Supreme Court in constitutional cement. Of course, President Trump loves the stacked and packed Roberts court because they overturned Roe v. Wade, destroyed the Voting Rights Act and gave the president total immunity for felony crimes he commits in office. But Congress has governed the size of the Court since the beginning of the Republic, not Trump and not MAGA.

The DOJ is giving Members of Congress just four computers in a satellite office to read the unredacted Epstein File of more than 3 million documents. Working 40 hours a week on nothing else but this, it would take more than seven years for the 217 Members who signed the House discharge petition to read just the documents they've decided to release (and there are 3 million still being withheld). This is what a cover up looks like.

House Republicans are absurdly trying to cement their stacked and packed MAGA Supreme Court majority into the Constitution and strip away yet another basic power the Framers gave to Congress. After sycophantically surrendering to Donald Trump our war powers, spending powers, tariff powers, and powers over federal buildings, to name a few, now they want to give up a power we have had since the Republic was founded: the power to decide how many Justices will be on the Supreme Court. We have exercised this power seven times in our history, with the Court having as many as 10 Justices and as few as six. I will vote against this radical measure abdicating a power assigned to us by the Framers simply to please a would-be king.

BIG NEWS: I just signed and filed a discharge petition to force a floor vote on my legislation to permanently block Trump’s $1.8 BILLION taxpayer-funded slush fund for his January 6 private militia and family-sized Super Pardon. I'm calling on all members of Congress to sign on. We can stop this self-dealing scheme and stand up for the taxpayers.

President Trump sent lawyers to court begging and pleading to let them rip away SNAP from 41 million hungry Americans. They lost big-time. Democrats will keep fighting to make sure the GOP’s Marie Antoinettes and Make Gatsby Great Again billionaires fail in their effort to bulldoze the nutrition and health of the people.

Donald Trump got the Director of the US Patent and Trade Office to apply for trademarks for the Board of Peace—something it does for no other entity and which is not allowed under federal law. Then he waived the fee for registration. Now he’ll decide whether to grant the application he submitted! No one knows what this Board of Peace is or where the billions of dollars gathered from corrupt foreign states will go. We're exposing this devious scheme.

We've got every House Democrat signed on to our discharge petition to permanently reject President Trump's corrupt $1.8 billion slush fund, his payoffs to MAGA foot soldiers and his corrupt Super Pardon. We need just six self-respecting Republicans to join us to protect taxpayer dollars and end this gargantuan ripoff of the public treasury.

America must reject the GOP’s dangerous nihilism about the impossibility of separating truth from lies, a derangement brought on by Donald Trump but now infecting their whole party. Our system of democratic governance rests on truth and facts—not lies and conspiracy theories.

Welcome back to this week’s episode of Who Wants to Be a MAGA Millionaire?! It’s America’s favorite game show where President Trump’s pardoned insurrectionists and private militia compete to win your tax dollars while the president and his family get lifelong immunity from prosecution for any tax fraud or other civil and criminal offenses committed thus far! Come on you guys, let’s play!

The GOP wants to give the new president Orwellian powers to impose a Kafkaesque nightmare on America's nonprofits. What could go wrong with the new administration having the power to designate groups as "terrorist-supporting" with no judicial determination and no due process?

Salvadoran TPS holders, who fled violence and instability in search of a better life in America, have contributed greatly to our prosperity in Maryland and across the country. But next week, TPS for Salvadorans ends. We're asking the Trump Administration to restore these necessary protections for our neighbors.

“Put on your big boy pants and let us know who the pedophiles are." -Then-t-shirt salesman & children's book writer Kash Patel. It's been 200 days since Director Patel has been sworn in but he's still covering up for Trump & won’t take his own advice & release the Epstein file.
