Our Founding Founders knew they were leaving their legacy to generations they’d never meet—and protecting it means being willing to change it for the better when needed. Great to join students at @mcdanielcollege.bsky.social to discuss and celebrate Constitution Day!

Community events like the Essex Day Festival are what make #MD02 special! Proud to celebrate the festival's 51st year and present the organizers with a citation for bringing our community together.

Your hard-earned money isn’t a slush fund for the President’s self-promotion. There are strict rules about using taxpayer resources — and these ads speak volumes about how little Trump cares about those rules and about you. time.com/article/2026...

Trump's Taxpayer-Funded Ads Draw Bipartisan Criticism
Critics have called the ads “propaganda,” but the White House says they’re “public service announcements.”

From national parks to neighborhood green spaces, our public lands are an essential part of our communities and national heritage. Let’s continue investing in conservation and protecting these shared spaces for future generations.

Chief Justice Roberts, Justice Barrett, and Justice Kavanaugh were on the Trump-Xi state dinner guest list. Justices are meant to be independent of the president, not at lavish state dinners with them. My ROBE Act will help restore fairness and trust.

The Chesapeake Bay is a national treasure—and Trump just revoked the federal order protecting it. The full bipartisan Maryland Congressional Delegation is fighting for our Bay.

Lupus affects an estimated 1.5 million Americans, and advocacy like the Lupus Foundation of America's Walk to End Lupus Now makes a real difference. Great to join our #MD02 community at the Walk to End Lupus Now at Canton Waterfront Park! 💜

A free press is fundamental to our democracy. President Trump's attack on news organizations he doesn't like is unconstitutional—and it's the kind of thing we see in dictatorships. The White House belongs to the American people, not to Donald Trump. www.npr.org/2026/09/19/n...

CNN, MS NOW, Politico reporters denied access to White House following Trump ban
Three reporters were blocked from the White House grounds Saturday morning, a day after President Trump said CNN, Politico, and MS NOW would be banned for reporting "FICTION and LIES."

When the people building AI technology are the ones warning us about it, we should listen. Congress needs to act with urgency—instead, Speaker Johnson sent us home. @newsnation.bsky.social

Rep. Johnny Olszewski @repjohnnyo.bsky.social · 17/09/2026
Speaker Johnson just sent Congress home until after the midterms. That means ZERO votes on lowering costs, ending corruption, addressing AI, or responding to the Iran war before Election Day. Americans don't get a recess—Congress shouldn't either.

Unchecked power corrodes our democracy. I joined @mariannasotomayor.bsky.social on 535 News to discuss my bipartisan Pardon Integrity Act—a constitutional amendment to rein in the presidential pardon power.

Rep. Johnny Olszewski @repjohnnyo.bsky.social · 16/09/2026
Trump promised to lower costs on day one. Instead, #MD02 families have spent an average of $3,700 more under his current term. You're paying for the president's reckless decisions.

Small-business owners deserve clear, consistent rules to hire, grow, and invest in their communities. That's why I was proud to join the International Franchise Association's panel on the bipartisan American Franchise Act—and honored to be named Legislator of the Year!

Last night’s 60 Minutes episode confirmed what we already knew: President Trump is selling pardons. It’s wrong, and it’s exactly why I introduced the Pardon Integrity Act—to prevent these unchecked abuses.

On #LaborDay, we honor the legacy of workers who fought for dignity on the job, including the 8-hour workday and safer workplaces. As a former union member, I know we still have more work to do. That’s why I stand with the Congressional Labor Caucus to fight for you.

Trump wants states to hand over voter lists and let USPS decide whose ballots count. A single bad barcode in a batch could toss thousands of votes. This isn't about election security—this is a deliberate attempt to sabotage the midterms.

It's time to ban presidents, vice presidents, and members of Congress from owning and trading individual stocks. No loopholes or half measures.

On this day in 1935, the Social Security Act was signed into law, creating a vital lifeline for millions of older Americans, people with disabilities, and families. Today, we must protect and strengthen Social Security so every generation can count on the benefits they have earned.

There’s broad agreement across the nation: it’s time to reform stock trading in Congress. That's why I joined my colleagues in demanding Speaker Johnson bring the Restore Trust in Government Act to the floor for a vote.

Republicans want you to think this bill bans congressional stock trading. It doesn't. Instead, they snuck in provisions that make it harder for millions of eligible Americans to vote. It's a bait and switch, and I'm voting no.

The Key Bridge collapse was a painful loss for our region. I joined a bipartisan group of state and federal leaders for an update on the rebuild. We have to keep up the momentum and do everything possible to rebuild as quickly, safely, and cost-effectively as we can.

My RESIDE Act is now law! This bipartisan bill turns vacant, blighted properties into homes families can actually afford—helping put homeownership back within reach for Americans who've been priced out.

Trump has turned the presidency into a grift: pocketing billions through crypto deals, stock trades, and pardons-for-cash, all while Americans struggle to afford groceries and rent. That's why I've introduced reforms to stop any president from using the White House for profits.

Rep. Johnny Olszewski @repjohnnyo.bsky.social · 17/07/2026
Trump's election claims are a dangerous political strategy: Republicans fear they can't win on the merits, so they're attacking the election system itself. Perhaps the president is our greatest threat to free and fair elections.

I asked a simple yes-or-no question: is it wrong for politicians to profit off public deals? The Trump officials at the table couldn't answer. Taxpayers shouldn't be footing the bill to make any politician richer.

Citizens United was one of the worst Supreme Court decisions in our history. It's why I've pushed 18-year term limits for a Court with too much unchecked power, why I support public campaign financing, & why I'm proud to co-sponsor ending Citizens United for good.
