Despite being “the third-most populous community in Maryland,” Germantown is not a city but “an urbanized census-designated place” (yes, I’m quoting Wikipedia). It’s a bunch of HOAs in a trenchcoat. And our best piece of architecture is this.

If my democrat US rep doesn’t know if her constituents want her to oppose Trump, we need a better rep who has a clue.

Hi, it’s Congresswoman April McClain Delaney.

The Administration's seizure of federal law enforcement powers and use of the National Guard to police city streets–particularly in our nation's Capital–is deeply unsettling.

These authoritarian policies undermine public safety, local law enforcement, and the rule of law. Real solutions are ignored when public trust in our institutions is weakened.
