In Chicago, Rep. Chuy García secretly decided to retire. At the filing deadline, he had his chief of staff file to run so she wouldn’t face any competition. That’s shameless political corruption, and it’s exactly the kind of insider maneuvering that makes people lose faith in politics altogether.

What’s the lowest you’ve ever been paid at a job? Drop it in the comments, I want to hear. For me, it was $9/hour (plus a chicken sandwich), working in a food truck in Philly during college. That was 15 years ago, and yet today, millions of workers are still earning less than that!

This is basically indistinguishable from the Nazi concept to colonize Eastern Europe after exterminating the Jews in gas chambers and then slowly starving all the Poles and Ukrainians to death. The Republican "lebensraum" housing plan, if you will.

I spoke last night at the South County Democratic Club in Galesville to share why I’m running and why the Democratic Party needs big changes to win back the voters we've lost.
It was great to share the stage with some other amazing candidates who are stepping up right here in Anne Arundel County!

There’s a big fight over gerrymandering here in Maryland. Trump knows Republicans are likely to lose the House next year, so he called up his minions in Texas + other GOP-controlled states to rig the elections in their favor, silence Democratic voters, and lock in minority rule.

Good morning, Trump fired the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics and tried to replace her with a guy that has a giant painting of a Nazi battleship as his Zoom background, so now we rely on inflation numbers from DoorDash sponsored by Carl's Jr.

Saluting all who served on this Veterans Day, past and present, including my grandfather - the "original" Harry Jarin.
He enlisted "for the duration" in 1942 and married by grandmother on a furlough the following year, when this picture was taken.

From the other hellsite: MAGA celebrating Schumer and the Democrats caving on the shutdown. GOP knew they were losing this fight politically, people were blaming them for SNAP benefits being cut and air traffic chaos, and they lost bigly in last Tuesday's elections. Democrats bailed them out again.

Jeanne Shaheen confesses live on Fox News that this whole thing was orchestrated with Schumer, and that she and six other Dems who aren't up for reelection next year are taking the fall for him. Schumer should be out of leadership by the end of the day.

Maryland is the most beautiful state in the country in the fall. But it’s not supposed to be 70°F in November here! And climate change isn’t going away just because Republicans decided that wind power is “woke and gay” but coal is “beautiful.”

Holding Nuremberg Trials 2.0 for the entire Trump administration is the moderate option here. We'll do it in the new ballroom.

Thanks to @socol.bsky.social for this great shot of the back of my head.
Let me tell you, underestimate the anger of the Dem base at your peril. Some of these Indivisible moms are ready to make heads roll. I was scared.
Dems need to harness this energy for the midterms next year!

We had hardly any trick-or-treaters this year, despite living right next to an elementary school. There aren’t many young families in our neighborhood anymore! The cost of housing is out of control. A little house down the road is listed for $750k! How is any working family supposed to afford that?

Last night's elections showed that the Democratic base is hungry for younger, more exciting candidates. Voters chose a new generation of leaders who are unafraid to speak with authenticity. Democrats can still win big if we put up younger candidates who speak plainly and understand social media!

Dick Cheney got what he always wanted: we are now living with the unitary executive he dreamed about. But like many revolutionaries, he was consumed by younger radicals, and I have a feeling today's Republican Party wouldn't have approved of their little drag show.

This shutdown is hitting Maryland harder than any other state. We dropped off a donation to a food bank in Calvert County, and volunteers there told us they’re busier than ever.
Too many Democratic Party elders still think that there’s some moral line Republicans won’t cross. But there isn’t.

I’m officially on the ballot for the 2026 primary election. 235 days to go!
Walking into the Maryland Board of Elections office, I felt the weight of what’s happening. The system isn’t self-correcting anymore, but it can be rebuilt if enough of us are willing to step up and envision something new.

Here’s what legal corruption looks like: a $60,000 bill for a medication that costs a fraction of that elsewhere. It’s not just drug companies, but an entire system built around squeezing patients.
Representatives like my 86-year-old Congressman, Steny Hoyer, take millions of $ to keep it this way.

The irony is that Trumpism very closely resembles Peronism on many levels (nationalism, populist economics, political repression). The Peronistas took Argentina from being one of the richest countries in the Americas to one of the poorest. Trumpism promises to deliver a similar fate for the US.

Congress increasingly resembles an assisted-living facility. There are more reps over 70 than ever. We made this video to poke fun at the age of some members of Congress, but the issue isn’t really age. It’s about energy, adaptability, and how these older members communicate with voters.
