Diesel is already around $5 a gallon here, and well over $6 on the West Coast. Almost everything you buy from groceries to building materials gets delivered on a truck at some point. Thanks to Trump's war, an energy shock is rippling through supply chains, and working families will pay the price.

WBAL in Baltimore helping viewers understand the difference between watches and warnings

From our recent candidate forum in Waldorf. People in this district tell me the same thing over and over: they don’t feel like the Democratic Party is looking out for them. The last thing anyone wants is for their electricity bills to keep rising because we turn a blind eye to massive data centers.

"We are being governed by morons" Many comments along this line. Not exactly. Nadia Schadlow went to Cornell and has a PhD from Johns Hopkins. They are liars and they know they are lying, and their willingness to lie shamelessly is how they advance so far in the Trump administration.

In case it is not obvious, war mongers like to minimize the role of Congress in decisions to use force because obtaining prior congressional authorization makes it harder to go to war. Exactly as intended by the US Constitution.

Truly a perfect news alert

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.

Trump is wearing a baseball cap from his own merch store, but the fawning media notices not and simply describes the process as "dignified." Compare how the media treated Biden for checking his watch. And didn't Obama get in trouble for saluting his detail while carrying a cup of coffee?

There isn't anything technically complicated about how the opposition can resist Trump in Congress. It's just a mindset adjustment more than anything.

Good thing our counter-terrorism czar is a 23-year-old Heritage Foundation intern whose previous experience was *checks notes* secretary general of a Model United Nations club in college

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.

Vaguely recall that a paroled inmate committing a terrible crime was enough of a scandal to undercut the Dukakis campaign. This is objectively worse in term of Trump's responsibility, but will get a fraction of the attention.

I realize that it’s hard to keep track of all the impeachable offenses that the Trump administration commits on a daily basis, but that shouldn’t be an excuse for allowing them to continue. In Congress, I’ll fight to impeach, convict, and remove the President and his out of control administration.

We could have built this ourselves, bombed it ourselves, and rebuilt it ourselves again, and it'd still cost less than what we've actually spent on wars in the Middle East for zero return

Sorry I’ve been a little quiet on here. Our son Toby arrived earlier than expected! He’s unbelievably tiny, but doing well so far. He’ll be in the NICU for a few weeks, not much to do except watch him breathe. But I have a feeling I’ll be doing that the rest of my life! Peak millennial parenting.

Folks look at you like you're crazy when you say we're in the midst of the worst, most unprecedented Article I constitutional crisis in American history, & then it's Monday

To be clear, the GOP majority abdicating its congressional responsibilities and ceding its power to the executive is a choice. Republicans could call votes and end this today if they wanted to. They choose not to.

They went to war with Iran (which nobody in America was asking for) so they could conjure an excuse to allow ICE to keep murdering Americans and teargassing schools here at home with impunity (which nobody in America was asking for).

The War Powers Resolution needs a complete overhaul because it's obviously failed, but at the end of the day, there's no procedural trick around having a Congress that's willing to stand back and watch a president flagrantly break the law and the Constitution and do absolutely nothing about it.

Do we have a Constitution anymore, or is it just optional? Because if it’s the second thing it opens up a lot of options about what to do with these guys

the fact the president of the united states is even thinking about asserting emergency powers to disrupt an election - just a few years after he incited an armed coup attempt - should be the top issue. but the media mostly shrugs and the opposition doesnt focus on it.

Pete Hegseth saw this and said "a computer can never be court-martialed, therefore a computer is a great tool for committing war crimes"

democrats should internalize that this is what their colleagues think of them and act accordingly

I arrived in Kyiv on Day 38. The Russians had recently pulled back, but there were still roadblocks everywhere. The Ukrainians were prepared to fight for every block all the way into the center. Seen along the highway near Vasylkiv, "Welcome to hell, Russian f****t."

Danish PM on Facebook this morning: “I am happy to live in a country where there is free and equal access to healthcare for everyone. Where insurance and wealth do not determine whether you receive proper treatment. The same approach exists in Greenland. Happy Sunday to you all”

Behold, the Yoon Seok Yeol impeachment commemorative towel. Someday, we Americans shall too have a timestamped impeachment commemorative towel, inshallah. (Photo credit: Ju-Hyun Park)

a lot of you are probably too young to remember this but there was a time when the married dhs secretary using taxpayer money for a custom built fuck palace in the sky for her to bang coworkers wouldve been a big deal

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

LAST CALL: Please join me tomorrow for a meet-and-greet in Washington DC, 4:30-6:00pm! RSVP via ActBlue (link below).

This race for MD-5 is attracting national attention. Want to meet me in person? I'm hosting a few meet-and-greets, and I'll be at the Charles County DCC candidate forum in Waldorf on 3/5. Check my website for updates, contact my team, and stay tuned for additional events in the district!

The underlying problem is that stopping the lawless authoritarianism is ultimately not a legal problem, & there are no actual legal solutions to it. It is a political problem, & the only solution is a political one requiring a majority of votes in the House & 67 votes in the Senate.

If we’re fortunate enough to have one final chance to vote in a legitimate election in Nov., we cannot elect Congressmen and Senators from the Merrick Garland School of Cowardice and Silent Sedition. We MUST elect champions of democracy who will fight to save America from fascism.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

My team and I took advantage of the nice weather. We had a great day knocking on doors in St Mary's County! #maryland #stmaryscountymd #leonardtownmd #congress #politics

For people impressed by the 130k jobs added in January, I'd offer and alternative economic analysis that I think you'll find compelling. www.thebulwark.com/p/shock-poll...

CO2, it's got what plants crave! It's got electrolytes!

"This is an accountability movement that has gained traction. . . and above all will send a message to the whole administration that, to quote Springsteen, “We’ll remember the names of those who died on the streets of Minneapolis.” Read it here: archive.ph/mgGmI

Why is it so difficult for most Democratic members of Congress to say this?

Today in mass murder on the high seas that requires immediate impeachment & removal. Again, this is one of those "He can't do that because it's illegal" things that he keeps doing every day, so I don't know why anyone thinks the other things like that are things that can't also happen.

The Jones Act raises costs and distorts maritime markets without delivering the shipbuilding it promised. For Maryland, repealing it would mean more port activity and real opportunities for new maritime jobs. Thank you, Bad Bunny, for highlighting the impacts of this harmful, obsolete law.

This kind of smart, walkable, mixed-use urbanism is illegal to build in most American cities.

Thinking back to my conversation with @dnealz.bsky.social last month. If the election of @analiliafornj.bsky.social in NJ-11 showed us anything, voters know the difference between candidates in the pocket of PACs and big corporations versus those who actually put in the work.

Even in his first term, this would've been a major scandal. Things have deteriorated so far that this will barely register; it might not even be the worst thing he does today.

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.

We're never going to solve the housing crisis by building more single-family homes in the middle of nowhere. We need a coordinated, Federal transit-oriented development policy to better utilize our existing infrastructure and speed up construction of new transit lines.

ten years ago today no one clapped

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.
