Maryland General Assembly was in session more days than the U.S. House of Representatives.

Rep. Joe Neguse@neguse.house.gov · 5d ago

Under Republican control, the House has only been in session for 72 days this year. Literally just 26% of the calendar year. It is absurd.

We’re not going to sit back while other states redraw maps mid-decade and expect Maryland to play by a different set of rules. Question 3 puts the decision directly in the hands of Maryland voters. Learn what’s at stake and cast your ballot for Question 3. #YesOnQ3 #FightBackMD

Thank you District 22, officially your Democratic nominee for House of Delegates.

Earlier this year, Trump told the country he wants to “drive housing prices up." Now, thanks to his illegal Iran war everything from raw materials to mortgages are more expensive.   He is pricing generations of Americans out of the American Dream, and he doesn't give a damn.

Mortgage applications fall as rates spike

The average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rose to 6.81% last week, the highest in a year, the Mortgage Bankers Association said.

Day 1 ✅ #SpecialSession

Trump has tried to pit Americans against one another to distract from the real fight: the fact that he and his billionaire buddies are rigging the system against workers.   We must call it out at every turn.

Government House, but make it gay. 🌈

Four years ago, I finished fourth. Last night, I was honored to finish first. This journey reminds me that delay is not denial. I’m grateful for your trust and even more excited for what’s ahead. From the bottom of my heart, thank you, District 22.

@govwesmoore.bsky.social served. He deployed. His commanders and fellow service members stand behind his record. The facts are clear, and this reporting reflects that. It's time to move forward and stay focused on the work of building a Maryland where no one is left behind.

Wes Moore’s military service is not in doubt. His storytelling is.

Wes Moore’s Army service is central to his political identity. Questions about the Maryland governor’s stories have opened a new fight over facts and credibility.

This is 30. Overwhelmed with gratitude for the life God is giving me.

Honored to earn the endorsement of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689. They keep our region moving. I’ll keep fighting for them in Annapolis. That means protecting good union jobs, investing in reliable transit, and making sure every worker gets home safe at the end of the day.

And just like that… Sine Die. The most rewarding session I’ve had and stepping into the role of Majority Whip made it unforgettable. Grateful for the leadership of Speaker Joseline Peña-Melnyk and the House Democratic Caucus that made it all happen.

MD House Majority Whip Ashanti Martinez now joins the show. He says redrawing the state’s congressional maps is worth it, even it might mean only one additional seat in Congress. “One seat could be what it takes for a Democratic Congress.”

We are now live on the Politics Hour with Fairfax County Chairman Jeff McKay. And MD House Majority Whip Ashanti Martinez will join us later. Call in to 800-433-8850 with your questions! buff.ly/YIXcAnx
