Good job, Virginia

A judge just paused a proposed ICE detention center in Washington County — proof that communities can push back.

In Montgomery County, the ICE Out Act is up for final approval next week.

We have a chance to make a clear choice about our values.

It made sense at the No Kings rally and makes even more sense today.

Looking forward to picking up a copy of this book!

Caught the most incredible sunset tonight — a quiet reminder to pause, breathe and reset.

From my family to yours, wishing a warm and joyful Passover to all who celebrate.

May the story of Passover bring you peace and happiness as you gather with friends and family this evening.

Chag Sameach!

This kind of enforcement doesn’t make our communities safer. It spreads fear, erodes trust and makes people less likely to report crimes or seek help.

We should be building stronger, safer communities — not ripping them apart. 2/2

New reporting shows ICE arrests in Maryland have tripled under Trump — with more than 4,800 people taken in just one year.

These aren’t just numbers. These are our neighbors. Our coworkers. Parents being taken from their children. Families being torn apart. 1/2

We will continue standing up for science, data and facts!

Did you attend a No Kings rally on Saturday?

This is what democracy looks like!

I see what you did there — and I agree.

🚨 NEW POLL 🚨

Today is Equal Pay Day!

In 2019, I passed the Pay Equity Act — taking on wage discrimination head-on by prohibiting the use of salary history in the hiring process.

We’re now seeing the results: the gender pay gap for new employees has been eliminated.

Progress!

gonna have to add county executives to your list

I introduced the ICE Out Act to keep our neighbors safe.

Thank you to all the students who testified in support of this critical legislation that will prevent ICE from opening private detention centers in our community.

We're a strong community because we look out for each other.

Wishing everyone celebrating a joyful and peaceful Eid al-Fitr! May this special day bring happiness, reflection and time with loved ones. Eid Mubarak!

Donald Trump gutted clean car standards and then caused a spike in gasoline prices. Remember that.

Climate change is already impacting Montgomery County — and today, we took action.
Proud to pass our climate resiliency legislation — thank you CM Friedson and @evanmglass.bsky.social for your partnership in protecting our communities and infrastructure. 🌱

Today the Economic Development and Transportation & Environment Committees voted 3-2 against Bill 4-26, legislation | introduced that would have established a Data Center Task Force to study the impacts of data center development in Montgomery County. I'm disappointed and frustrated by this vote. We're being asked to make monumental, generational decisions about data centers without first doing the evaluation our community deserves. Residents across Montgomery County have raised real concerns about how data centers are affecting higher energy prices, straining our water resources, increasing noise pollution and compromising public health risks. Those questions are legitimate and deserve answers. My proposal was straightforward and reasonable: bring together experts, residents, industry representatives, utility companies and stakeholders to evaluate the full impacts of data centers in Montgomery County and recommend a responsible and sustainable path forward. Additionally, I have strong concerns about how energy-dependent facilities like data centers will allow us to reach our ambitious climate goals of reducing greenhouse gas emissions 80% by 2027 and eliminating them by 2035. To put it bluntly: today's decision puts meeting our targeted climate action plan in doubt. I will continue working with all stakeholders to ensure that Montgomery County remains innovative, entrepreneurial and environmentally conscious.

My statement on today's Council action re the Data Center Task Force

When reporters are arrested, intimidated or taken into custody by the very agencies they’re covering, it’s not just about immigration policy or politics — it’s about the truth.

A free press is not optional in a democracy. It is mandatory.

Yes, yes and yes

I applaud Senator Van Hollen for sponsoring federal legislation to regulate the energy use of AI companies.

AI and data centers are driving up electricity prices in Maryland and across the country. Montgomery County residents should not have to subsidize the richest tech companies in the world.

I’m incredibly proud to have the endorsement of
@lesleyjlopez.bsky.social in our race for Montgomery County Executive!

Delegate Lopez knows the importance of strong partnerships and I’m grateful for her trust and support.

Thank you, Lesley. Let’s get to work!

Kristi Noem is out as DHS Secretary — but one change won’t undo the damage done by cruel ICE policies.

We still need real safeguards to protect our communities. It’s why I introduced the ICE Out Act, ensuring that privately owned immigrant detention centers can’t open in Montgomery County.

Proud that Montgomery County signed the TRUST Act into law!

This is who we are:

We protect our immigrant neighbors.

We build trust between communities and local government.

We stand for dignity and due process for everyone who calls our county home.

Unconstitutional tariffs. Billions collected. Zero refunds planned. They took your money — and they’re keeping it. It’s called theft.

The Supreme Court finally woke up

Ranked choice voting strengthens democracy. It gives voters more options, encourages broad support and ensures that winners reflect the will of the majority — not just a narrow group of voters.

Here's my testimony to the Maryland General Assembly in support of RCV.
