We heard COUNTLESS bullshit coverage that Biden was ignoring North Carolina when the administration was doing everything in it's power to help. Trump openly does it, crickets.

Trump suggests FEMA’s future is in doubt: ‘It gets in the way’
The new president doesn’t appear interested in overhauling or reforming FEMA, only in eliminating the agency altogether.

On Martin Luther King Day it’s important to not just remember the man, his message, and his work; but to carry on that legacy and remove inequalities, to remove barriers, to remove injustice and build a better world where more people can thrive.
Happy Martin Luther King Day everyone

I am so proud of my husband for serving Annapolis and now potentially serving our state as a Delegate. His deep empathy and sense of justice are what drew me to him years ago and what I continue to admire about him. Brooks is someone who runs for office for the right reason: to help others.
Folks, I am excited to announce that yesterday I submitted my paperwork to fill the vacant position for House of Delegates in District 30A. #MDPolitics

Few things are as pretty as Annapolis in the snow! But be sure to drive a little slower tonight and bundle up! Travel times are not at this moment significantly impacted but road conditions are wet and a little slippery.

1 in 5 people spend all of the income in rent. All of it. 100%.
This is why more people have nowhere to live but outside, not because people choose to be homeless or because cities don't have enough laws or police to punish homeless folks.
