We’ve delivered the largest investment in child care in our state’s history – and we’re not stopping there.

NEW: The Trump administration's DOJ has been systematically removing materials from its websites regarding the many indictments and convictions related to the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol. In response, @lawfaremedia.org has been systematically restoring them:

@govwesmoore.bsky.social Consider adding a hefty tax on any Marylander who accepts money from Agent Orange’s 1.776B slush fund. 100% tax would be just. 200% tax would be fair.

Freedom of expression is alive and well in the Free State of Maryland because of advocates like Mac. Because of their work, Maryland is now one of the few states that restricts when prosecutors can rely on rap lyrics as criminal evidence.

After teen girls were targeted by AI-generated CSAM, Radnor Township High School in Pennsylvania has become a case study in how schools and police around the country grapple with how to response to deepfake crimes involving children. @samleecole.bsky.social reports. www.404media.co/radnor-high-...

Nine individuals, including two law enforcement officers, have been indicted for an alleged scheme to defraud Maryland’s Medicaid program. Medicaid supports Marylanders with developmental disabilities. Funds meant for their care must be protected.

People have been asking for the Purple Line for over a decade. Today, we put the FINAL piece of rail in the ground. Thanks to everyone who made this milestone possible and delivered on a project that’s been stalled for far too long.

Loving our state does not mean lying about its history. It means telling the truth — even when the truth is hard. Today we honored the more than 230 Black boys who died at the House of Reformation and lie in unmarked graves.

Incredibly proud of the work Mayor Scott, State Attorney Ivan Bates, and our local and state law enforcement partners are doing to keep people safe! https://www.thebanner.com/community/local-news/baltimore-homicide-reaches-new-montly-low-DECFCBFZXJDY3DLJKTXOZEGHYI/

Yesterday, I signed the Maryland Voting Rights Act into law. We refuse to wait for Washington to do the right thing to defend the constitutional right to representation, protect access to the ballot, and ensure that every Marylander has an equal voice in our democracy.

Across the country, Republicans are openly floating maps designed to dilute Black voters' representation. It’s not theoretical. This political redlining is happening in real time.

With the help of the Sandy Hook families, The Onion has reached a long-awaited deal to take over InfoWars. We've enlisted the help of @timheidecker.bsky.social, who will be InfoWars' Creative Director. Please stand by for more.

Mamdani: "What are we fighting for?. When you look back at the history books of our party, 100 years ago we had a very clear vision of what we were fighting for. It's sad that for too many Americans, when they want to look for ambition in the Democratic Party, then have to turn to a history book."

The President wants to focus on funding his war of choice instead of the critical programs that children and families rely on. But here in Maryland, we’re going to keep investing in our people.

This year has been exceptionally hard on Marylanders with the attacks from the Trump-Vance administration. www.capitalgazette.com/2026/04/16/w...

The courage of Marylanders changes and saves lives. I am proud to sign the Vax Act and the Jillian and Lindsay Wiener Short-Term Rental Safety Act into law.

My Statement on the Court’s Order to Halt Construction and Operation of Unlawful ICE Detention Facility in Washington County. Full Statement here: oag.maryland.gov/News/Pages/S...

Led by @oagmaryland.bsky.social, we’ve joined a coalition of attorneys general across the country challenging President Trump’s UNLAWFUL attempt to interfere with states’ constitutional authority to administer elections.

Let's focus on something we ALL agree on: #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

Fuck you @polymarket.bsky.social 🍻

Let there be as much outrage from politicians in Washington when kids go hungry as there is when I break bread with New Yorkers.

We will not let the failures by regional operators like PJM define how Maryland moves at this moment. Marylanders deserve affordable energy bills. Full stop.

Fuck YES. Fuck ICE.

Marylanders deserve the truth. Today, my Office filed a federal lawsuit after U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security refused to comply with our subpoena for records about conditions inside ICE holding rooms in Baltimore.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Storefront improvements strengthen entire commercial corridors. They signal to residents that investment's happening on their block and in their neighborhood. The momentum is there in Long Branch – thanks to partnerships with local and federal officials – and along the whole Purple Line corridor.

The administration is setting up the idea that anyone opposing Trump is engaging in "domestic terrorism," as Trump's EO set out. (This is a way to get around the specific definition of "domestic terrorist" in U.S. law.)

Trump’s illegal tariffs cost Maryland’s businesses and consumers up to an estimated $4 billion. Marylanders deserve a refund from the Trump-Vance Administration. youtube.com/shorts/Oe5BG...

The Trump-Vance Administration waged war on our families and raised taxes on us all, costing Marylanders billions. We’re demanding they pay Marylanders back.

Today, I filed a lawsuit to stop the unlawful construction of a massive federal immigration detention center in Washington County. This project moved forward without required environmental review and public input. And, without consultation with Maryland.

The President is lying to the public: 1) For the past century, the federal government has been responsible for the Potomac Interceptor – not Maryland. The sewage pipe is on federal land. youtu.be/OKyIKHW8ONI

See how #TeamDHS and Binti are partnering to give Maryland caseworkers the tools they need to reunite children with their family quickly. Here’s what the Social Services Administration’s (SSA) Chief of Staff, Angelique Salizan, has to say. #KinshipCare #Partnership

@raskin.house.gov is right – we’re facing a direct and existential threat to our democracy that requires a response. The Maryland Senate needs to vote on the maps.

one thing that comes across in these clips is that bondi is totally out of her depth. just an absolute lightweight. barely sentient.

I stand with County Executive Calvin Ball as he signs emergency legislation today prohibiting privately owned buildings from being used as ICE detention centers. Howard County chose dignity, accountability, and its people. Tune into our event now: bit.ly/4a2VtHw

Black Marylanders have led the fight for justice throughout our nation’s history, and their courage and achievements drive our administration’s work today — tackling peoples’ challenges with solutions and building pathways to work, wages, and wealth in every corner of our state.

The new maps created by the Governor’s Redistricting Advisory Committee not only make our districts more competitive, but also make sure that Marylanders’ voices are actually heard. https://youtube.com/shorts/k9Gbon4qUrQ?feature=share

"ICE will leave Minnesota if you hand over your voter rolls" tells you everything you need to know. This was never about immigration or fraud. It was always about rigging elections.

The Pretti family’s heartbreaking request to all of us: get the truth out about our son. Alex was an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA whose last act was to protect the woman next to him. We will not let this Administration spread lies.

Mood in minneapolis right now

Please share. 💔

Three years ago, I was sworn in to be your governor using my grandfather’s bible and the bible of Fredrick Douglass. Since then, we have moved Maryland forward by creating safer communities, protecting our neighbors and their rights, lowering costs, and much more. We are leaving no one behind.

I strongly condemn the Islamophobic and anti-Palestinian message spray-painted on the walls of Walt Whitman High School in Bethesda. Hate has no place in Maryland. We and the MCPS community share a commitment to ensuring everyone feels safe, seen, and heard.

@vrypan.bsky.social How do we fork farcaster and properly decentralize it?

I am at a vigil for Renee Good at St Mark's in the Bowery. They handed out cards bearing the names of people killed by ICE in this second Trump era. There are a lot of cards.

I am proud to announce that the state has reached economic agreements with the vast majority of our public sector employee unions.
