Maryland General Assembly was in session more days than the U.S. House of Representatives.

We’re not going to sit back while other states redraw maps mid-decade and expect Maryland to play by a different set of rules. Question 3 puts the decision directly in the hands of Maryland voters. Learn what’s at stake and cast your ballot for Question 3. #YesOnQ3 #FightBackMD

Earlier this year, Trump told the country he wants to “drive housing prices up." Now, thanks to his illegal Iran war everything from raw materials to mortgages are more expensive. He is pricing generations of Americans out of the American Dream, and he doesn't give a damn.

Mortgage applications fall as rates spike

The average rate on a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage rose to 6.81% last week, the highest in a year, the Mortgage Bankers Association said.

Trump has tried to pit Americans against one another to distract from the real fight: the fact that he and his billionaire buddies are rigging the system against workers. We must call it out at every turn.

@govwesmoore.bsky.social served. He deployed. His commanders and fellow service members stand behind his record. The facts are clear, and this reporting reflects that. It's time to move forward and stay focused on the work of building a Maryland where no one is left behind.

Wes Moore’s military service is not in doubt. His storytelling is.

Wes Moore’s Army service is central to his political identity. Questions about the Maryland governor’s stories have opened a new fight over facts and credibility.

Honored to earn the endorsement of Amalgamated Transit Union Local 689. They keep our region moving. I’ll keep fighting for them in Annapolis. That means protecting good union jobs, investing in reliable transit, and making sure every worker gets home safe at the end of the day.
