Over the last 12 years the Affordable Care Act has survived dozens of GOP efforts to kill it & has come out stronger than ever. More than 31 mn Americans benefit from ACA-related enrollment in health programs such as Medicaid or plans purchased thru the marketplace

When I served on the House Budget Committee, Paul Ryan had the same plan: Give tax cuts to corporate billionaires and then say we need to cut Medicaid and Medicare to pay for it. It’s no different in the Senate. Why are they doing this? Check their donor list.
Maryland needs
@BenJealous
as our leader in Annapolis to stand up to President Trump’s divisive, poisonous agenda every day—not just when it’s politically convenient. We have got to do everything in our power to make sure he wins November 6th. Knock on doors, donate, and vote!
Donald Trump is a grave danger to our country every additional minute he remains in office. He must be removed immediately whether by invoking the 25th amendment or by initiating action to impeach.
It’s been an honor to serve as the Chair of the
@DSCC
and work with so many gifted Senators and candidates. Catherine is the perfect choice to take up the mantle for 2020. She has done a terrific job as the Chair of Women’s Senate Network and I know she’ll make the caucus proud!
I'd like to thank Chairman
@ChrisVanHollen
for his hard work in the 2018 election. I'm committed to replicating the blue wave America saw in Nevada throughout the entire country & electing a Senate Democratic majority in 2020.
Yesterday we saw the Senate at its worst as
#SCOTUSConfirmation
was overtaken by partisan hackery, gross distortions of fact & other despicable tactics. But this process is not over. Those of us eager to share this moment together w/ Judge Jackson & history will have our day yet.
Despicable. Trump used White House podium tonight to spew his completely false narrative about the election and our democracy. Fact checkers searching for one truthful word in tonight's remarks...
They are all about subtraction, not addition. That's why we must act to secure voting rights, implement national standards for fair voting processes, reform campaign finance laws, and ensure our democracy works for all Americans.

Today l'm filing to run for re-election to the US Senate to uphold our values of justice, equality & freedom; protect our democracy and continue to deliver real results for all Marylanders. The 2022 election will decide the future direction of our country.
My full statement:
12 years ago the Supreme Court's Citizens United decision opened the floodgates to unlimited corporate spending in elections.
Months later my Disclose Act to end secret money passed the House but was defeated by a GOP filibuster
We cannot stop til we return power to the people
I am confident that when all the votes in the battleground states are counted, Joe Biden will be our next president and Kamala Harris our next vice-president. Every American, regardless of party, should agree that every ballot must be counted and every voice heard.
GOP senators are still cowering before Trump. It’s long past time they stand up for our democracy and call upon Trump to stop his fraudulent attacks on counting the ballots.
Jaime Harrison is a great choice to lead the DNC!
He made us all proud during his hard-fought Senate race in SC. I look forward to working with
@harrisonjaime
for Democratic victories in 2022 and beyond.
It's not too late to call your family and friends in swing states to tell them to vote! Every vote cast, every phone call made, and every door knocked on will matter until the very end.

I want to salute voters across Maryland for voting in large numbers and congratulations to the Maryland candidates who were elected. I look forward to working with all Marylanders as we continue to move our state forward.
Today
@POTUS
has selected a highly regarded judge and the first former public defender to serve our highest court. This is a historic nominee at a critical moment in our history. I look forward to hearing more from Ketanji Brown Jackson during her nomination process.
I’m proud to announce that I am nominating Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to serve on the Supreme Court. Currently serving on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, she is one of our nation’s brightest legal minds and will be an exceptional Justice.
Good News: Last night we passed the Postal Service Reform Act. After years of decline this is a key step toward ensuring MDers & all Americans will again be able to rely on USPS to receive essential medicines, vote by mail, pay their bills and more.
Meet Supreme Court nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson someone who has proven she will uphold the promise enshrined above that high court's doors: equal justice under law.
I sought a nominee for the Supreme Court with exceptional credentials, unimpeachable character, and an unwavering dedication to the rule of law. Meet my nominee, Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson.
On the ballot November 6th:
→ Protections for people with pre-existing conditions
→ Women’s reproductive rights
→ Voting rights
→ Medicare, Medicare, and Social Security
→ The integrity of our democracy
→ Jobs, wages, and better economic opportunity
VOTE!
Sadly you can always count on Mitch McConnell to put politics b4 the public good. Let's pass the COVID bill & make sure we're prepared for any new variants. THEN let's have serious discussions, not campaign soundbites, on how to deal w/immigration policy.
NEW from
@GallupNews
: Judge Jackson ties Justice Roberts for the highest level of public support for any Supreme Court nominee in recent history, with nearly 2 to 1 in favor.
Democrats in swing states have shifted the most challenging political map in decades, looking out for voters every step of the way. And in stark contrast, Republicans have spent the closing weeks of the midterms struggling to defend their unpopular health care records.
Congratulations to President-elect Joe Biden and Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and to the American people for the historic level of participation in this critical election.
Ready to get to work to build America back better.
Onwards!
I'm proud to be endorsed by the

In the words of my dear friend, John Lewis, “The vote is precious. It is almost sacred. It’s the most powerful nonviolent tool we have in a democratic society, and we’ve got to use it.” Vote: .
