For years many of us have sounded the alarm on PFAS contaminants — dangerous 'forever chemicals' that threaten the wellbeing of our children and families.

This historic move by President Biden & U.S. EPA will help keep these chemicals out of our drinking water and keep our communities safe.

Today federal Team MD welcomed Governor Wes Moore, Secretary Pete Buttigieg, Shalanda Young & others to the Capitol to discuss our work for Baltimore as we continue to address the collapse of the Key Bridge.

We’re committed to supporting victims' families, reopening the Port and rebuilding.

Just when we thought MAGA extremists couldn't sink any lower, far-right judges in Arizona just ruled an abortion ban from 160 YEARS AGO can be enforced in 2024.

We're talking about a law written during the Civil War—a half century before Arizona became a state. Beyond the pale.

Today we joined President Biden in Baltimore with a clear message: we will move heaven and earth to clear the channel, open the Port and rebuild the bridge ASAP.

And we will continue to support the families of the 6 individuals we lost, and all our first responders and recovery crews.

With 303K new jobs added last month, our economy continues to grow and defy expectations under President Biden. We’ve also seen unemployment stay below 4% for more than two full years.

We’re investing in the ingenuity of the American people — and it’s paying dividends every single day.

This is big news. Thanks to tireless work from USACE HQ and state & local partners, a temporary channel is expected to open as soon as the end of this month & the main channel by end of May.

Their quick work is vital for thousands of workers & families in Baltimore & across MD.

Glad to see this new rule from President Biden which, as we learned in the Trump era, is badly needed to protect our merit-based civil service and prevent the federal government from becoming a cesspool of political cronyism. politico.com/news/2024/04/0…

In the week since this horrific tragedy, we've marshaled every federal, state & local resource at our disposal to clear debris so we can reopen the Port & rebuild.

We've also come together to support the families of the 6 individuals we lost & all those impacted by this tragedy.

These workers were trying to feed starving people.

The challenge of getting assistance into Gaza is already overwhelming — aid workers from World Central Kitchen United Nations & others shouldn't face death when distributing it. ENOUGH!

My heart goes out to Chef José Andrés 🕊️🥘🍳 and the World Central Kitchen team.

The Dobbs decision stripped away reproductive rights of millions of women. It’s also created an unconscionable & unsustainable reality for doctors & their patients.

Recently, Dr. Zahedi-Spung provided gut-wrenching testimony about this appalling situation in the wake of Dobbs:

Fact: More than 80% of House Republicans signed onto a plan that endorses a national abortion ban and puts access to IVF on the chopping block. Their radical agenda is out of step with the American people — and we will stop it in the U.S. Senate.

Partnership shouldn’t be a 1-way street.

President Biden told Netanyahu there are 'no excuses' for restricting aid—but food still isn’t getting to starving ppl in Gaza

He called invading Rafah a 'red line”—but Netanyahu says he’ll do it anyway

So now we send more bombs to Netanyahu? ⬇️

Today I met with longshoremen impacted by the Key Bridge tragedy & the closure of the Port of Baltimore. As I said to them today: we’re committed to doing everything we can to get them back to work ASAP while supporting them and their families in the meantime.
