Many thanks to the state and county leaders who brought this pilot program to #AdelphiRoad, & to @UPTown_MD residents who kept advocating!

A shameful example of how this administration has replaced diplomacy and support for America’s actual friends around the world with groveling to dictators and wasteful, unlawful payoffs.
.@SenatorShaheen sent a letter to @SecRubio raising concerns over a $7.5 million State Department payment to Equatorial Guinea—one of the world’s most corrupt regimes—in exchange for accepting third country removals.

I am proud to support these enterprising Native American women’s quest for justice. What they have endured is unconscionable and against all American values (and plenty of laws).

If Congress doesn’t defend its @HouseAppropsGOP / @SenateApprops powers, it will lose any relevance. RIP representative government w/o the power of the purse.
Donald Trump is not king — it’s time for House Republicans to step up and join us in doing something about it.

This is #1 summary of the dystopia 1000s of nonprofit workers & public servants are now living.
Administration leaders are acting as though their orders repealed the Foreign Assistance Act. This must be stopped.
This is pure gaslighting. There is no working waiver process. Marco can pretend the the real Secretary of State, Elon Musk, didn't shut down USAID, but he did.

So glad to see that @RepGlennIvey is helping @CommForklift secure a permanent home! This is the kind of sustainability-enhancing enterprise that Maryland--and the country--need to double down on investing in!
