MoCo In Annapolis...Among bills signed Tuesday by @GovWesMoore was an abortion grant program sponsored by Del. @LesleyJLopez of Germantown and "Eric's ID" law, authored by the District 20 legislative delegation and inspired by a Silver Spring resident. https://t.co/gCgUQkWyHO
🚨 Exciting news from Maryland! We passed a clean bill—with no amendments—to fund abortion care without taxpayer dollars. Now, it's on its way to Governor Wes Moore’s desk!
👏 Thank you to the senators, delegates, advocates & the 2.2M people who supported Question One.
This Trans Day of Visibility, take a moment to listen to the trans people around you starting with my amazing staffer, Luisa. 🌟 Their voice, their story, and their advocacy make our community stronger every day. Let’s celebrate, uplift, and stand in solidarity .

When they are cruel, we are compassionate. 💙 @MDHouseDems are fighting to keep healthcare affordable & accessible no matter what happens federally. Preventative & reproductive care stays free, insurance stays affordable. We’re watching & we WILL protect our residents.
Shout it from the rooftops (or The Washington Post)! Maryland is leading the way in protecting reproductive rights, and we’re not done yet. We’re excited to keep pushing forward, setting an example for the rest of the country. Read more @washingtonpost

A woman gave birth in Lubbock, Texas and doctors didn’t realize until she had been admitted and went into labor, that she was infected with the measles, exposing other new mothers, newborns and their families.
What more is there to say?
Access to reproductive healthcare is non-negotiable. Despite GOP efforts to add conditions to critical abortion funding, I stood firm and protected the access to reproductive health. Read more from @marylandmatters! #MDPolitics#ReproRights

Every Senate Dem. should vote NO on cloture and NO on the CR. No self-respecting Democratic lawmaker who takes his or her responsibility to their constituents and the constitution seriously can vote for this despicable Trump/Musk power grab CR. Why should Dems roll over and play dead when they were completely cut out and presented with a shit sandwich? Why give Trump a bipartisan imprimatur to gut the government?
WTF? @SenSchumer please grow a spine. And quickly.
Federal govt: Cuts Dept. of Education

Fighting against AI-generated explicit images
I spoke with @WMAR2News about two bills I'm championing to combat deepfake harassment & revenge porn. These laws will empower victims to sue creators & distributors of AI-generated explicit content. It's time to modernize our laws!
@Mdhousedems & @mddems are pushing HB1424 to help federal workers illegally fired by the Trump-Musk team.
📍 14K in District 39 alone!
🎖️ 16% are veterans—this is shameful.
HB1424:
