When I visited Smith Island back in September, I had the honor of meeting Maryland’s very own, the legendary, 16-time World Champ: Hurricane Hazel! 🫡

🥖 Merci beaucoup, Bakery de France! Great to see strong partnerships bringing new investments and new jobs to Frederick County!

My reading recommendation? “My American Journey” by General Colin Powell His writing helped me learn that loving your country doesn’t mean lying about its history – and I find that pretty relevant now. https://www.culturedmag.com/article/2025/11/03/literature-american-politics-reading-guide/

Maryland once served as the capital of our country at a time where American Indians were forced into the margins of our society. Today, American Indians help our communities thrive in a way we could have never imagined.

We’re going to fight this with everything we have. In Maryland, we don’t bend the knee. We stand up for our public servants.

It’s about to be a cold winter, and many Maryland families rely on federal programs to heat their homes. One of those programs, the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, is being delayed because of Trump’s federal shutdown.

ON DAY 38 of Trump’s Federal Shutdown Here are three new actions we’re taking to rush support to people: 1️⃣ We’re launching a second round of loans for essential federal employees working without pay.

The Trump Administration doesn’t give a damn about our public servants.

Madam Speaker, thank you for being one of the most effective leaders of any party in decades and paving the path for generations through your incredible leadership. You will always be a proud daughter of Baltimore and we honor you today. God bless you and enjoy your much-deserved retirement.

Crews are already making progress on rebuilding the Key Bridge – working around the clock to restore a cornerstone of Maryland’s economy and the Baltimore community.

From supporting Marylanders who rely on SNAP to delivering on business investments, we’re proving that — even while under attack from this administration — we CAN and WILL deliver wins that grow Maryland’s economy and make life here more affordable for families.

Good news: Baltimore’s homicide rate is continuing its downward trend, dropping 31% compared to just last year.

Fairer maps means fairer elections. https://youtube.com/shorts/hFH5uXfWGE4

I’ve said it before and I will say it again: We will explore every avenue possible to make sure Maryland has fair and representative maps.

Maryland - remember that today’s also Election Day for YOU! Polls are open from NOW to 8 p.m., so grab a friend, head to the polls, and make YOUR voice heard!

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.

🚨 Reminder: TOMORROW is Election Day in cities throughout Maryland! If you haven’t voted yet, be sure to make your plan now so that your voice is heard – and remind your friends and family to vote as well!

In the face of this cruel government shutdown, we’re taking another significant step to protect Maryland families and children: I’ve signed an executive order releasing $62 million to help Marylanders who rely on SNAP benefits put food on the table.

Yep, Maryland sued the Trump Administration – and we w̲o̲n̲. But the President is STILL refusing to follow the law and help feed over 40 million Americans, including around 680,000 Marylanders.

FutureCareAnnapolis is helping us grow our economy and create jobs while also expanding access to health care for Marylanders. Together, we will leave no one behind.

680,000 Marylanders rely on SNAP to put food on the table, including: 120,000 older adults, 270,000 children and, 120,000 Marylanders with disabilities. The federal government is leaving them in limbo. But in Maryland, we protect our people.

Firearm homicides are down 26% since my inauguration, gun violence is down 12%, and Baltimore City is the safest it’s been in five decades. We have more work to do, but our progress in addressing gun violence as a public health crisis is undeniable.

Many of the Marylanders who voted for this president are unsure of how they’ll put food on the table because of him. None of them should be left in the cold because Washington failed to do its job. We’ve stepped up, with $10 million in emergency funding to fight food insecurity across the state.

On this day in 1864, Maryland’s new constitution freed African American slaves within our state. Today, we celebrate the heroes that resisted oppression and risked their lives bravely against the institution of slavery.

Halloween is 😤 serious 😤 business in this household

I'm encouraged by these rulings affirming what we've long said: The Trump Administration must follow the law. On behalf of the 680,000 Marylanders who rely on SNAP to put food on the table, I’d like to thank @oagmaryland.bsky.social and all of our partners in this process for their leadership.

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.

I’ve declared a State of Emergency because the federal government is — illegally and cruelly — withholding funding for food assistance. We are providing $10 million in emergency aid so Maryland families don’t go hungry.

I said we’d take care of our people – and I meant it.

Day 30 of President Trump’s Federal Government Shutdown: In response to the President’s illegal refusal to deploy emergency federal funding to keep food assistance running, I am declaring a State of Emergency. We will surge $10 million to food banks and food bank partners across the state.

The cruelty we’re seeing from this White House is absolutely staggering. I’m thankful for the volunteers at Bowie Food Pantry who are stepping up and helping feed people in their hour of need.

This helps and I’m happy to see others stepping up to help our federal public servants, but nothing can backfill SNAP in the absence of federal support. The President needs to return to the negotiating table to bring down health care costs and end the shutdown.

We’re driving down energy costs for Marylanders by expanding access to solar so that Maryland families can save money, even if they can’t install solar panels at home. https://www.cbsnews.com/baltimore/news/maryland-energy-prices-solar-funding-homeowners/

I said we’d do all that we can to make sure the federal government follows the law and provides funding for the critical services Marylanders rely on — and I meant it.

To our law enforcement officers, firefighters, EMTs, paramedics, 911 dispatchers, and other public safety and health workers who respond to emergencies: Thank you! You’re a lifeline in our moment of greatest need. We’re grateful for your selfless service and for keeping our communities safe.

You cannot make America great by attacking everything that makes America great. I know that the challenges in this moment are enormous, but we cannot let fear stop us from doing the work of closing the racial wealth gap and building pathways to work, wages, and wealth.

A few days ago, I had the honor of meeting Dr. Boggess, who recently turned 108. She’s lived an incredible life, including serving as one of the first five African American typing clerks in the segregated typing pool at the War Department in World War II and receiving the Rosie the Riveter medal.

Carmelo Anthony built one of the greatest basketball legacies in American history. And when it came time for him to help others achieve their own dreams, he looked to Baltimore City. He never forgot about us. And we’ll never forget about him.

The President would rather keep the government shut down than negotiate in good faith — and he's leaving Maryland’s economy and working families to deal with the consequences.

As a result of the federal government shutdown, SNAP benefits are likely not to be deposited on EBT cards beginning Nov. 1, and 680,000 Marylanders who rely on SNAP to eat—including nearly 270,000 children—stand to go hungry.

Good question, good answer.

FEMA has a responsibility to weigh the merits of each emergency request objectively. Instead, President Trump’s administration has politicized disaster relief — and our communities are the ones who are suffering because of it.

While Donald Trump has been firing our public servants, prolonging the government shutdown, and building ballrooms… …we’re working to help the Marylanders whose lives he’s upended get back on their feet.

We have public servants who are working and not getting paid, and politicians in Washington who are getting paid, but not working. President Trump can and must end this shutdown.

While the White House remains antagonistic to veterans & military families, Maryland's proving there’s a better way: ✅ Signing into law the largest tax break for young veterans in recent Maryland history, ⚕️Establishing a pathway for free health care & dental care to members of the National Guard,

We’re proving there’s a better way to lead: 🚀 Launching a one-stop-shop so Marylanders can easily apply for programs like SNAP and WIC, 👪 Partnering with Comptroller Lierman to help families access tax benefits,

The President’s federal shutdown has real human implications on Marylanders. Resource fairs, like the one I visited in Howard County last week, are helping people get the resources they need. Together, we are leaving no Marylander behind. https://youtube.com/shorts/l4FX6x1qhw0

Wishing a happy Diwali to all Marylanders celebrating today. May this Festival of Lights inspire us to create a year filled with joy, positivity, and light.

The federal government is failing in its responsibility of serving the American people. Mr. President, you have the power to end this shutdown and stop the suffering of hundreds and thousands of Marylanders. https://youtube.com/shorts/x2ZqvBBJc14?feature=share

Federal workers affected by the Trump Administration’s federal government shutdown will be able to ride Maryland’s commuter trains and buses for free. When I said that we’d look out for our federal workers, I meant it.
