Thanks to the expert team from D.C. Water repairing the sewage spill at the Potomac Interceptor for giving me an extensive tour of both the damage and the critical repairs being implemented at the C&O Canal. A full remediation plan is up next.

As Trump's numbers sink like a stone, he grows ever more desperate to bury the secrets buried in the Epstein File. The survivors plan to make sure the truth is known and justice is done.
Trump’s DOJ isn't focused on arriving at the truth about Jeffrey Epstein's trafficking ring and all of its crimes and accomplices.
Trump’s DOJ is focused on diversion, distraction, delay, and setting trapdoors for Congress. Pam Bondi is running a coverup.
MoCo, as more winter weather heads our way, get those shovels out and let’s prepare for snow and icy conditions from Sunday evening through Monday. Please be safe and hang tough!
The Trump Administration has a staff infection.
Trump is shredding our Constitution every day. Instead of answering for all the damage inflicted on our people and the rule of law, Attorney General Pam Bondi spent her time before the Judiciary Committee name-calling, filibustering and deflecting from her indefensible Epstein coverup.
If they force us to choose between calling for the resignation of imbecilic bigots or normalizing hateful religious incitement, that’s not a tough one. This fanatic should spare his constituents any further embarrassment and resign.
Happy Lunar New Year! May the Year of the Horse bring everyone good health and prosperity!
With Ramadan beginning tonight, I wish everyone observing in MD-08 and across America a blessed and reflective Holy Month. Ramadan Mubarak!
Moved and saddened by the passing of Reverend Jackson, who kept hope alive for working-class economics, interracial progressive organizing and peace for many decades. Condolences to Rep. Jonathan Jackson, Jesse Jackson, Jr. and the whole family.
This week's Local Hero is Jason Green who was raised in Quince Orchard. After a dazzling career in gov & politics, Jason returned to his ancestral home & studied the complex, tragic & profoundly inspiring history of MoCo & the Black community here.
Judge Leon has written a superb and blistering opinion about Pete Hegseth’s embarrassing attempts to censor Senator Kelly’s political speech. Congratulations to patriot Mark Kelly on this victory and to America on the resurgence of freedom fighting everywhere.
I asked Attorney General Pam Bondi whether she would create a federal-state-local task force to investigate the horrific abuses perpetrated through Jeffrey Epstein's human trafficking ring.
Her prolonged response: *crickets*

Some striking arguments here from Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) to Pam Bondi
"You replaced real prosecutors with counterfeit stooges who robotically do the President's bidding"
"Trump orders up prosecutions like pizza.. and you deliver every time"
Reposted byRep. Jamie Raskin
Raskin to Bondi: "You're not showing a lot interest in the victims. Whether it's Epstein's human trafficking ring or the homicidal government violence against citizens in Minneapolis, as AG you're siding with the perpetrators and ignoring the victims."
Yet another epic failed indictment by U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro. You just can’t fool citizens on a grand jury with MAGA propaganda. Why doesn’t DOJ stop embarrassing itself with political vendettas and actually investigate the Epstein ring?
Montgomery County is horrified by the swastika and antisemitic graffiti scrawled on Shaare Tefila in Olney. Our community sends the congregation our sympathy, solidarity and affection. I know anyone trespassing and defacing property like this will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Several survivors of Epstein's global child trafficking ring are now dangerously exposed because the DOJ is either spectacularly sloppy or trying to intimidate people. Or both.
Attorney General Pam Bondi comes before @democrats-judiciary.house.gov tomorrow. We'll be demanding answers.
Our hearts are with the students, parents and staff of Wootton High School in Rockville after a shooting at the school. We are closely monitoring the situation and sending sympathy and strength to the Wootton community.

Rep. Raskin: "Releasing the names of a lot of victims is either spectacular incompetence and sloppiness on [DOJ's] part or, as a lot of the survivors believe, a deliberate threat to other survivors who are thinking about coming forward."
