It’s been 50 days since the Supreme Court struck down Trump’s illegal tariff taxes & he still has no plan to pay back the money he stole from American families.  When are they going to see the $1,700 he owes them? Return the money, NOW!

Trump is suspending sanctions on Iran and Russia, which will put over $15 billion in their treasuries to help them fund the wars against us. It’s stunning. We have never ever seen this level of war incompetence in American history.

"We want to make sure that it’s crystal clear that we’re not participating in any way shape or form with ICE activities."

Marylanders: Please sign the petition asking Senate President Bill Ferguson to allow a floor vote on HB 488 in the Maryland Senate. This bill would allow MD to conduct mid-cycle redistricting. Whether you support the redistricting or not, Ferguson should not determine whether there is a vote.
