Former is my first name lately. Former DNC Vice Chair, Former MD Dem State Chair, Former Chair of JWi and JCPA, Former Interior Designer, Political fundraiser and Hill COS. Not sure what’s next.
Asking if I am a “socialist” was a pretty good tipoff that the active poll in MD right now on redistricting is a Republican poll. I am with @govwesmoore.bsky.social on this one because the stakes are too high to be on the sidelines. All hands on deck.
Today, I’m announcing the Governor’s Redistricting Advisory Commission.
I’ve been clear from Day One: If other states are determining whether or not they have fair maps, so will Maryland.

I just have to say it. I may never get over the fact that our country elected someone who calls people names every chance he gets.

What national significance in a single murder case of a woman’s boyfriend requires the daily coverage that we are seeing? I don’t get it with everything else going on that really matters.

Exactly! Since when do you campaign for yourself on building the Party and expanding the base and then create disputes rather than make yourself a fair arbiter? @rhonnief.bsky.social thank you for reminding him we’re all on the same team.
“I wish David Hogg would work with his colleagues, work with the people that endorsed him, that voted for him … to truly get a Congress that is reflective of our issues. Not just doing things to be disruptive.” 🎯

@steventdennis.bsky.social - Thank you. Instead of the uninformed analysis of what Chris did and why - you nailed it.
I've covered Van Hollen since circa 1999. He's actually not a "grandstander." In his first Congressional bid, he was the workhorse vs the showhorse. He out-hustled Mark Shriver who had far more money and had been on the cover of Time Magazine as a next-gen Kennedy. He won with an army of volunteers.

What @vanhollen.senate.gov describes is so very reminiscent of the Nazi staging for the Red Cross of the Terezin Concentration Camp where I lost extended family members. It is stunning but not surprising. It is breathtaking nonetheless.
I went to El Salvador hoping to meet with Kilmar and check on his well-being, and I had the chance to do that last night.
Our courts have been clear: this was an ILLEGAL abduction. I’m speaking now about my meeting with Kilmar and our work to bring him home:

I read a lot of court documents, and I like to highlight some from time to time that really encapsulate the moment we find ourselves in. The latest from the 4th Circuit does it perfectly.

DOS noticed 10 grants for Slovenian nonprofits today “that advance U.S. government priorities and strengthen people-to-people ties between the United States and Slovenia.” No money for starving children, NIH, libraries, schools and layoffs off the charts but Melania’s homeland - business as usual.
