Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

The House has passed H.R. 5214, a bill to return DC to cash bail.
Cash bail creates two tiers of justice, one for people with money and one without. DC abolished it more than 30 years ago and crime has dropped precipitously since.
H.R. 5214 is wrong and we will continue to fight its passage.

The courts had to step in and tell Donald Trump to feed the people. Let that sink in.
He was perfectly fine letting millions of Americans go hungry—in the middle of a shutdown that Republicans created.
Do what the judge said, Donald. Release the funds and stop playing with folks’ livelihoods.

Food banks and community support are important. But why aren’t you enabling the state to give financial support directly to those losing snap benefits?

If you know a family member or friend who relies on SNAP, see people in your community struggling, or if your neighbor just got furloughed:
Check on your loved ones to make sure they’re OK.

Montgomery County Council Advances Bill Requiring 14-Day Eviction Notice
Montgomery County Council held a public hearing October 28 on Expedited Bill 31-25, legislation that would require landlords to notify tenants at least 14 days before carrying out a scheduled eviction. The bill, introduced by Councilmember Kristin Mink with support from council leadership, extends the current six-day notice period permitted under Maryland state law. A 2025 change to state law authorized local jurisdictions to expand the eviction notice requirement up to 14 days.
