Please join me tonight at a candidate forum hosted by the Charles County Democratic Central Committee and moderated by Tracee Wilkins from @nbcwashington.com. We'll be at the Jaycee's on Crain Highway in Waldorf from 5:30pm. The event is open to the public, but no swans will be in attendance.

DOGE didn’t save taxpayers any money. The Federal payroll hasn’t meaningfully decreased, and nor has the deficit. That’s because Federal workers were never the problem. Most spending goes to things like entitlements and defense (er, war?), not the salaries of people who keep our government running.

Somehow, we have $200 billion for an illegal war in Iran, but we don’t have enough money to fix this bridge in Maryland? We should be investing in the kinds of projects that make everyday life safer and easier. In Congress, I’ll push for a more reliable funding stream for infrastructure projects.

Proud to stand with Anne Arundel County Firefighters in their fight for additional staffing. I love serving my community as a volunteer firefighter, but times have changed and our call volume is off the charts, and we do need a 4th firefighter on engines/ladders to comply with national standards.

Adrian Boafo didn’t even show up again last night at a candidate forum in Mitchellville. This clip is from another PG County forum earlier in May that he skipped, too. Maybe he thinks the $1.8m dumped into this race by AIPAC and crypto means he doesn’t have to face voters directly. I disagree.

Why does Colombia, a country about one-tenth as wealthy as the US, have better transit than we do here in Maryland? In Congress, I’ll push for a national transit-oriented development plan to make public transit and affordable housing a reality for more Americans.

I drove out to Washington County, Maryland to see where our tax dollars are going. This warehouse is being converted into a new ICE detention facility. The Federal government purchased the property for $102m in January, and they’re spending a further $113m to retrofit it into a detention center.

I recently sat down for a video call with my friend Ryan Daniels, a former Marine who was just in Ukraine supporting the war effort. We spoke while he was in Kharkiv (with electricity, luckily). Ryan is also a candidate here in Maryland, running for St. Mary's County Commissioner District 4.

Daylight Savings Time started out as a way to reduce coal consumption during World War I. In the end, it didn’t really save any energy. Congress actually came very close to ending DST in 2022: the Senate passed a bill *unanimously* but it stalled out in the House. In Congress, I'll reintroduce it.

Quick update from the firehouse, the snowstorm has kept us busy. I know things feel dark right now. This is going to get worse before it gets better. But across the political spectrum, more people are starting to realize that this crisis won’t end until Trump + his cronies are impeached/prosecuted.

Sanders: "Trump Megadonors & AIPAC spent $15 mil to defeat Thomas Massie. What was the great crime he committed? He opposed the war in Iran & released the Epstein Files. This is the reality of any congressperson running today. If they stand up to Trump, there will be an onslaught of SuperPAC $."

Democratic Senators are moving in the right direction with drawing a line at DHS funding — but they need to understand how to negotiate with extremists. Starting position should be: DON’T FUND ANYTHING until demands for accountability at ICE, BP, and DHS are met. #alexpretti #shutdown #minneapolis

Francesco Ciulla says that the great thing about development is that your path does not need to be ordinary, and there are plenty of ways into the industry. Do you agree? 🤔 Watch episodes of Coffee with Developers and more at wearedevelopers.com/en/videos

You’re not confused. You’re hooked. When attention shows up unpredictably, your brain stays engaged trying to figure out when it’s coming back.  It can feel intense, but that doesn’t mean it’s meaningful. Try slowing your response and paying attention to what’s consistent. #relationshipadvice

Early rainy season! Like the flip of a switch, rainy season will begin as early as this weekend. In some cases 1-2 weeks early. And boy do we need it. You know… hot/ humid days, daily thunderstorms, doesn’t end for 5 months… ughhh. Here’s the details on what wet season means and what to expect.

While filming outside the Whipple building, the central node of ICE activity in Minnesota, I met Tom. A veteran, union worker, and self proclaimed "Nazi Hunter". He yelled vulgarities at whoever left or entered federal property. Note: This is my favorite interview of the whole film.
