I wrote a thing about a big day for Maryland Democrats and for the future of Medicare for All. Today was VERY tough day for me (everything seemed to be going wrong), but seeing the Maryland Democratic party calling ofr Medicare for All? A great day. Heart-warming.

As a Bernie guy, I get stick for being so involved with the Democratic Party in Maryland. Tonight, I take some pride in it. We've got leaders like Sen. Chris Van Hollen and state party Chair, Steuart Pittman. Supporting Medicare for All.
Too late for some, but never too late to do the right thing.

NEW— ICE vehicles chased a landscaping truck through Takoma Park, MD, on Monday about a mile from DC, which ended with the truck crashing on someone’s lawn and narrowly missing another car, multiple residents confirm to me. Video shows ICE going into a backyard to find/arrest the men from the truck.
