It’s almost lunch time- have you called Maryland State Senate President Bill Ferguson yet? Make sure to say thank you for his recent public position regarding 287(g), AND reaffirm that Maryland constituents want to see a clean and comprehensive bill. What else are you calling about? Call those reps!

He is so pathetic. It was pretty damn clear what he asking his supporters to do on January 6. Anyhoo, good luck there, Donny.

Any Democrat running for office in 2026 who is not forcefully in favor of Court Reform does not deserve your vote.

The senate has been working, so this is not about the shutdown.

It is about avoiding a vote to release the Epstein files.
Today, Mike Johnson will keep the House adjourned for the 95th day out of the last 107.

Defense begins, “This case, ladies and gentlemen, is about a sandwich. A sandwich that according to Agent Lairmore somehow both exploded on his chest in a spray of mustard and onions but also landed intact on the ground still in its Subway wrapper.”

1/2 @govwesmoore.bsky.social - your measly $10M is only 8% of the monthly MD SNAP $123.2M draw. Starving families and children and $123.2M lost to MD grocery stores, farmers, farmers markets.... The Rainy Day Fund can afford it, doing so has bi-partisan support! @indivisiblebaltoco.bsky.social

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

Make your plans for #NoKings. This Saturday, October 18th.
Free speech is action. Protestors believe that action has meaning. Protestors are exercising the rights enshrined in the Constitution. For me, protest is about love of country.
I'll be there. Please join in.

No Kings
As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

This is such a simple thing to believe and say but the Democrats refuse to say it. If you want to get elected fire your consultants and be real. The American people are telling you what they want: accountability.
We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

It's quite amazing to know that the US government is actively wanting to do harm to American citizens who are acting within the bounds of our First Amendment Rights. They are stoking the fires. Do not give them a reason to harm us. Be active. Be peaceful.
EXCLUSIVE — DHS Acting General Counsel sent out a memo Wednesday to all Federal Protective Service staff (the sub-agency that guards federal buildings) letting officers know they could take any action necessary "in the vicinity" federal property to protect themselves.

The Handbasket reports:
DHS top lawyer says 'no legal barrier' to actions officers can take to defend federal property
In a memo obtained exclusively by The Handbasket, Federal Protective Service (FPS) officers were given free rein.
