For so many in our community, coming out isn’t just an act of honesty — it’s an act of courage. In a time when political attacks on LGBTQ+ people are rising again, visibility and solidarity matter more than ever. #NationalComingOutDay

As the Supreme Court starts its new session, let’s not forget the damage they did to LGBTQ+ rights earlier this year. We will not let them erase us.

Texas went first. Now it’s Maryland’s turn.

So let me get this straight — someone gets FIRED for having a Pride flag on their desk? In 2025?! Absolutely unacceptable. This isn’t just about a flag — it’s about visibility, identity, and basic human dignity.

After a reflective and meaningful fast, it’s now bagel time.

We are all disappointed by this outcome, but none of us should be surprised. President Trump has been shutting down the government since his inauguration. The president’s unwillingness to negotiate will have staggering impacts for our state – wages lost, programs shuttered and projects scrapped.

Proud moment for Montgomery County! Both Bethesda and Silver Spring were named among Travel + Leisure's "Best Places to Live on the East Coast." Community, culture and connection –– that what makes Montgomery County a special place to live! #SilverSpring #Bethesda #MontgomeryCounty

Happy National Good Neighbor Day! Reading Pew’s latest research on communities really made me think about how connected we are to the people right around us. Did you know…

I'm holding a Transportation Committee hearing today to receive a briefing on the Purple Line construction. What question would you like me to ask?

On Monday I’m holding a Council hearing on the status of the Purple Line. Got a question for me to ask?

I spent 12 years as a CNN journalist covering Congress and national politics before being elected to the Council. I saw firsthand how essential a free press is to holding people accountable. What Donald Trump did to Jimmy Kimmel and is doing to our First Amendment is scary and dangerous.

On Monday at 9:30am the Transportation and Environment Committee will receive a status update on the Purple Line construction. What question would you like me to ask?

What happened to Jimmy Kimmel is government-sponsored censorship.

News: Our campaign has raised $468,088 since launching! We raised $92,548 in small dollar donors. No donation was more than $500. 94% of them were Montgomery County residents. This qualifies us for $375,540 in public financing matching funds. Grassroots momentum!

Political violence has no place in our democracy.

I’m proud to share some exciting news: I have officially filed to run for Montgomery County Executive! 1/

I spent the morning with nonprofit leaders to discuss the challenges facing Montgomery County. From national politics to the local economy, our ecosystems are intertwined. If we want a robust and strong social safety net, we need a robust and strong local economy.

Welcome back, Raptors! Did you know that Montgomery College was recently ranked the #1 community college in Maryland and #17 nationally?! With the start of the new academic year, I want to wish our students, professors and staff a year full of learning and success.

It’s a bird. It’s a plane. It’s Captain Maryland!

Happy birthday to this guy ❤️

Maryland isn't going to sit by and watch Texas redistrict mid-census to pad the GOP numbers in Congress for Donald Trump. There is no unilateral disarming of democracy.

Wishing all our students, parents, educators and MCPS staff a wonderful first day of school. Make it a great year!

Read my op-ed on requiring true budget transparency for MCPS so that students, educators and school communities get the resources they need to succeed.

We had one last meal at Hollywood East, which is closing its Wheaton doors tonight. I’ve been working with owner Janet Yu to find a new spot in Montgomery County. Stay tuned! ps: the shredded tofu and szechuan string beans remain my favorite

MCPD is not participating in the FBI raid, but they are on site because of the road closure. A small presence is expected to remain throughout the day as they expect an influx of journalists.

Alert: Severe traffic in Bethesda as the result of the weaponization of the FBI.

To all the MAGA folks who said I shouldn't talk about the rights of 700,000 D.C. residents because it isn't Maryland –– despite the border we share –– I ask you why these Republican governors, who are hundreds of miles away, should send their national guard troops to D.C.?

D.C. deserves to be the 51st state #dcstatehood

A book a day keeps the fascists away. Happy National Book Lovers Day!

National Night Out was a blast! My thanks to our incredible public safety officers for all they do to keep our communities safe, strong and connected.

Donald Trump is literally erasing history

President Biden visited the Baskin Robbins in Bethesda. What Maryland ice cream shop would you recommend?

Former President Biden visited Bethesda today and took a photo with the volunteers at New 4 You Thrift Boutique. How cool?!

Donald Trump doesn’t want to fix the economy. He wants to fix his image.

Let's continue making Montgomery County an easier place to open and operate a business.

One year ago today we passed the M.O.V.E. Act. Since then more than 55 businesses have used the program to relocate to or expand within Montgomery County. These businesses include healthcare, education and technology –– with more than a dozen being start-ups.

Nature Forward is supportive of the Native Plant Protection Act — native plants sustain biodiversity, support wildlife, and create climate-resilient landscapes by improving air, reducing runoff, and protecting soil.

Saw this online. Pretty cool.

The Transportation & Environment Committee did not support legislation that would have loosened the prohibition on gas powered leaf blowers. www.yahoo.com/news/article...

I was proud to stand up and speak out alongside National Institutes of Health federal workers and alumni. Their work is saving lives across the world.

Which reminds us! Councilmember @evanmglass.bsky.social (supported by @waba.org) is introducing a bill making it illegal to stop, stand, or park in a bike lane/facility in Montgomery County MD. Come to the press event at Woodglen Dr/Nicholson Ln, Monday, July 28, 11:30 am to show your support.

A public hearing for the Native Plant Protection Act was held on Tuesday. I appreciate everyone who shared their thoughts. If you were unable to testify, please leave a comment and let me know what you think.

I wonder what Trump is scared of?

My deep appreciation to all our NIH scientists, doctors, nurses, researchers and staff who are working to keep humanity healthy.
