@POTUS is absolutely right. Americans need a comprehensive infrastructure package that meets this moment. That means taking bold action through #BudgetReconciliation too.

The incident in Ocean City this weekend is extremely troubling. These actions require an immediate investigation with full transparency and accountability. In Maryland and across the country, we must prevent unnecessary escalation and the excessive use of force.

220+ million shots in arms. 160+ million relief checks. And we’re only 100 days in. There’s much more work to be done, including ramping up our efforts to equitably distribute the vaccine in Maryland. Discussing that and more with @VP and Team Maryland: https://t.co/1kKjGHMuDj

Each year, on April 25th, we mark Armenian Genocide Remembrance Day. The truth must always prevail and the world must never forget the over 1.5 million Armenians who were brutally murdered by the Ottoman Empire. We must learn from history, not turn away from it.

Gary Peters is a great choice to lead the fight to defend and expand Democrats' Senate majority in 2022. He’s a tough Midwesterner with a long track-record of winning difficult races. Glad to have Gary at the DSCC helm for this critical election cycle! https://t.co/1hUKxQNk1C

Jamie Harrison is a great choice to lead the DNC! He made us all proud during his hard-fought Senate race in SC. I've been fortunate to work w/Jamie over the years in the policy & political trenches and look forward to working with him for Democratic victories in 2022 and beyond

The House has done it job by passing a second bipartisan package to provide free testing for the coronavirus, establish new requirements for paid sick leave, and expand food assistance. Now the Senate must do its job and pass it immediately. Still much more to do.
