Happy Early Voting Day, #Gaithersburg! You can #vote in person today at the Activity Center at Bohrer Park 10am-5pm. I’m proudly supporting Mayor @judashman.bsky.social and Councilmembers Lisa Henderson & Jim McNulty for reelection. See you at the polls! 🗳️🇺🇸 www.gaithersburgmd.gov/government/e...

As the House Appropriations Committee is touring the area in Western Maryland devastated by flooding, the Trump administration has announced that it is denying the appeal for FEMA funding. Why? Because we are a “blue state” even though the affected area is mostly Republican. Despicable.

The American Constitution Society is entering a new chapter. Phil Brest — former White House Senior Counsel who led Biden’s judicial confirmations — will serve as ACS’s next President, guiding our work to defend democracy, uphold the rule of law, and prepare the next generation of legal leaders. ⚖️

Maryland @govwesmoore.bsky.social has announced Free Transit for Federal Workers on MARC and Commuter Bus during the Federal Government Shutdown.

Today marks 2 years since the horrific Hamas massacre of innocent civilians in Israel. We pray for the safe return of the remaining 48 hostages, grieve the immeasurable loss endured by so many families and communities, and continue to hope for peace & safety for all in the region. #BringThemHome

Today is the last day to take advantage of the federal electric vehicle purchase tax credit up to $7,500, which is about to expire. If you are in the market for an EV and want to benefit from this credit, you need to close on the sale today. www.edmunds.com/fuel-economy...

Wishing everyone observing Rosh Hashanah a sweet, happy, healthy New Year with family & friends. We usher in the year 5786 at a time of great challenge & worry, but also with the eternal hope of the Jewish People that with each new year comes a new chance to build a better world. "Shana Tovah!"

As the Maryland General Assembly IT Office migrates to a new data center, there will be a brief total blackout for websites, phones, and email for state legislative offices. The blackout period runs from 5pm on Thursday, Aug. 28 through Monday, Sept. 1, 2025. Thank you for your patience!

The racism and condescension of Maryland's so-called "Freedom Caucus" (extremist MAGA members of our General Assembly) strikes again, this time targeting Maryland's first Black Governor as a "ghetto governor." Disgusting. www.delmarvanow.com/story/news/l... @mdhousedems.bsky.social

The Gaithersburg SummerFest is always spectacular. Thousands of people in our beautifully diverse city enjoyed live music, food & beverages, glow sticks, and a world-class fireworks show on the idyllic grounds of Bohrer Park to kick off the week’s Independence Day festivities. Kudos to all involved!

The 31st annual Gaithersburg-Germantown Chamber of Commerce Public Safety Awards Ceremony is happening now. I’m proud to support and honor our heroic first responders who keep us safe. Thank you for your service and sacrifice. #GGCCpublicsafety #GGCC

Yes, the numbers are real. Republican cuts to Medicaid will close hospitals, raise premiums for working families, & create chaos across our state. MD Dems fought against similar cuts on the House Floor this Session — and we'll keep fighting against any effort to restrict your access to health care

I was proud to join *thousands* of protesters along Rockville Pike today to declare that we have #NoKings in America, we will not be bullied or surrender our rights, and we will stand up for our vulnerable neighbors against a would-be tyrant. 🚫👑

The new issue of the Spiegel Spotlight is out today, with updates on my upcoming fundraiser, Pride Month, emergency aid for laid-off federal workers, the national crises on immigration and antisemitism, and more. mailchi.mp/ryanspiegel/...

Friday was National Gun Violence Awareness Day and the start of Wear Orange weekend. I stand with @everytown.bsky.social, @momsdemand.bsky.social, and all those working to reduce gun violence. This year, the Maryland General Assembly passed a number of new laws to deter and prevent gun violence.

As we kicked off Pride Month at Rockville Pride today, I was honored to speak as an ally & advocate in the fight for freedom, respect, safety, & civil rights. Wherever we encounter discrimination and hate—from the schoolhouse to the White House—we will not be bullied into silence. Love wins!

Thanks to the Md. Black Mayors Association for inviting me to give a recap of this year’s state budget process & outcomes—along with an update on my own bills to provide financial empowerment for underserved communities. It was great to see many longtime friends and colleagues from my days in MML.

Honored to attend the City of #Rockville Memorial Day ceremony and parade this morning. Thanks to all staff, volunteers, and attendees. And thanks most of all to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I am honored to be named a “League Champion” by the Maryland Municipal League (MML) which represents all of our State’s 160 cities and towns.

We @mdhousedems.bsky.social take ethics and conflicts of interest seriously, even if some of today’s Republican leaders don’t. But isn’t it interesting how this bill, championed by my friend and colleague @mkorman.bsky.social, passed unanimously? time.com/7283708/afte...

Great to attend the MD Democratic Party’s annual #AAPI dinner in my own district tonight with so many special guests: Gov. Moore, Lt. Gov. Aruna Miller, Rep. Ted Lieu, & many other terrific leaders from the party & state and local government. More than 500 tickets were sold! It was packed.

On the same day that NPR aired a program on the Trump administration’s disastrous changes to student loans, Governor Wes Moore signed my bill to give Maryland public servants—teachers, first responders, etc.—more help in applying for public service loan forgiveness. www.npr.org/2025/05/06/1...

Rockville rally against Trump’s disastrous first 100 days.

Great to join Gov. Wes Moore at Manna Food Center today in my district to highlight Manna’s important nonprofit work addressing food insecurity & the increased need in the wake of reckless federal cuts and layoffs. Thanks to their staff and volunteers!
