This antisemitic graffiti at Greenwood Elementary School in Brookeville is profoundly disturbing. We’re all holding the students and Greenwood community close as authorities continue to investigate another intolerable act of antisemitic vandalism.
This week's MD-08 Local Hero is the talented Director of MoCo's Department of Transportation, Christopher Conklin. Yesterday, MoCo unveiled the nation's largest transit depot electrical grid. Chris joined us to share what this impressive green project means for transit in our community.
Congrats to Montgomery County for building the nation’s largest transit depot electrical grid! Thank you for leading the way in pioneering cleaner energy solutions for transit in our community.
As President Trump spends billions of dollars for his aggressive and foolish war of choice in Iran, congressional Republicans are handing him billions more to fund ICE chaos in our communities. The GOP has a destructive agenda.
The American people don’t want the oligarchs’ war in Iran and ICE’s war in our streets. We want affordable health care for every family. Who exactly are President Trump and Speaker Johnson fighting for? Not us.
President Trump doesn't care whether you can afford health care, rent or groceries. He has no plan for America’s working families. Instead, the president fills his time settling political scores and litigating beach sea shell messages from nine months ago.
In honor of National Poetry Month, this week's Local Hero is the ebullient Sosena Audain, Montgomery County's 2026 Youth Poet Laureate. We celebrate Sosena’s wonderfully creative artistry. Please listen in as she shares a live reading of one of her moving poems.
More than 20,000 Ukrainian children have been abducted by Russian forces since the start of Putin's bloody war. America must work to secure the return of these missing kids to their families and freedom for the Ukrainian people.
Today we’re mourning the loss of our dear colleague Rep. David Scott. In his more than two decades in Congress, David was a fighter for farmers across the country and the people of Georgia's 13th Congressional District. May his memory be a blessing to our country.
On Earth Day, we celebrate our natural environment, including the beautiful public spaces in Maryland's Eighth District. Let’s recommit ourselves to protecting our dazzling natural resources so they can be enjoyed by future generations.
Rep. Jamie Raskin is demanding that Kash Patel submit to an alcohol abuse screening: "For the sake of our own security, we need to know, for example, 'how many drinks containing alcohol do you have on a typical day when you are drinking'?"
Excellent news for the Eighth District! NeighborWorks of America will award $506,000 to Montgomery Housing Partnership. The grant will help house more of our neighbors, create economic opportunity and make our community stronger. Thank you NeighborWorks, thank you MHP!
Ahead of Earth Day, this week's Local Hero is David Blockstein, an ecologist and conservation biologist who leads Worldwide Climate and Justice Education Month. Dr. Blockstein promotes ecological education and action—locally, nationally and globally.
On Yom HaShoah, we remember the six million Jews and millions of others massacred by the Nazis. May the memories of the perished be a blessing and constant spur to us as the world organizes to fight resurgent fascism, antisemitism and hate.
Donald Trump’s deranged threat to destroy “a whole civilization” in Iran is a threat to commit war crimes and genocide. Republicans in Congress must prevail upon VP Vance, now campaigning for Putin’s puppet Viktor Orban in Hungary, to return to the U.S. and invoke Section 4 of the 25th Amendment.
