Remembering MN house speaker Melissa Hortman, her husband Mark and their beloved dog Gilbert. Murdered in June at their home by a rightwing Trump-voting evangelist, who also shot another MN lawmaker and his wife at THEIR home, 9 and 8 times, respectively (miraculously, they survived).

This Labor Day, thank a union. Our nation’s workers have better wages, stronger benefits, and safer working conditions because of them.

Senator Chris Van Hollen @vanhollen.senate.gov · Aug 26

Trump’s lawsuit against Maryland judges was ridiculous from the start. Now a Trump-appointed judge is shutting it down — and rightfully calling his attacks on our independent judiciary ‘potentially calamitous.’

A win for the rule of law.

Court tosses lawsuit by Trump against Maryland federal judges, calling it 'potentially calamitous'

Real power? It’s built through community. Whether it’s canvassing, phone banking, or showing up online, your energy matters. We’re not sitting on the sidelines. Let’s get to work with the Maryland Democratic Party, @mddems.bsky.social ! → mddems.org/summer

Trump’s policies aren’t just hurting the country, they hit home in Maryland.
❌ SNAP-Ed cuts are putting nutrition programs for low-income families on life support.
❌ Federal layoffs are threatening livelihoods across the state.
This isn’t leadership, it’s neglect. We definitely won’t be silent.

Trump’s economic plan in action:
📈 Prices up
📈 Inflation up
📈 Unemployment up
But don’t worry, billionaires got a tax break.

For nearly two weeks straight Trump has escalated his attempt to take over DC. Federal agents are now violently profiling, harassing, and arresting Black and Brown DC community members and their presence is a severe danger to people here.

Join us today at 3 PM to demand FEDERAL FORCES OUT NOW.

DC demands federal forces out now. Press conference + rally. Today, August 18, at 3 PM. 14th St & U St. NW.
