BREAKING: Elon Musk just called Trump transportation secretary Sean Duffy “Sean Dummy”.

I agree.

Even though we’re nearing the longest government shutdown in our nation’s history, Speaker Johnson has continued to cancel votes – leaving us scattered across the country and unable to negotiate.

Huzzah!

Thank you, #TheThinkingSpot, for being a great #LBS (Local Book Shop)!

And thank YOU, @thewaroncars.bsky.social, for tackling this crazily important issue head-on!

Keep demanding Article I exercise the checks and balances of Article II that our Founders envisioned. Keep participating in this grand experiment of self-governance.

I know these are difficult times — especially for our federal workers — but today was an excellent reminder of what our community is capable of. Keep leaning in.

🇺🇸 Howard County absolutely showed up for No Kings! 🇺🇸

Today is International Day of the Air Traffic Controller, recognizing those who work around the clock to keep our skies safe. Thank you to all the air traffic controllers at BWI and across the country who continue to keep our skies safe – especially as they work without pay during this shutdown.

Thousands of firefighters work at departments, agencies, and military bases across our country to support military readiness and other essential functions of the federal government.

Thank you to President McCollum and the UM BWMC team for organizing an incredible community wellness event to give our neighbors of all ages a chance to learn about mental health and nutrition and access services like the flu vaccines, CPR training, and more.

As we enter the fourth week of this Republican shutdown, I wanted to sit down with @repwalkinshaw.bsky.social, one of the newest members of Congress, who also represents tens of thousands of federal workers, to discuss how his district has been impacted & how we’re navigating these uncertain times.

44,000 federal workers reside in the Third District, and each and every one of them is feeling the effects of this shutdown. Throughout this shutdown, Team Maryland remains committed to supporting our hard-working civil servants and constituents each and every day.

It has been the law since 2019 that furloughed federal workers will receive back pay, and this shutdown does not give the President or OMB any power to change that.

That’s why I’ve joined more than 165 of my bipartisan colleagues across the House and Senate to push back against the OMB’s threats to not provide furloughed employees with the pay they’ve earned and deserve.
