You guys want to hear a short but adorable story that happened right in front of me at the baggage claim in NYC yesterday? I wasn't part of it and there are bits I didn't catch but holy crap, I can't stop thinking about it.

Barely a week after our story on a northeast Maryland fight between neighbors and a dairy farmer over pollution of a beloved trout stream, the water again brimmed with dead fish — almost 11,000 of them. Video courtesy of neighbor Chris Thomas: www.thebanner.com/community/cl...

Part of my campaign strategy is that I have stickers cued to my issue priorities, scaled to fit on my yard signs, so supporters can choose how they identify. The three yard signs requested today⤵️

Tell your friends you love them. Tell your partner you love them. Tell your family you love them. Just do it. Do it now and do it often. Do it until you’re annoying, but really, you won’t be. Just make sure they know.

Cool cool when you’re on a long “burn your cabin fever” walk with the hounds and preparing for tomorrow’s TSwift release day, and get sidetracked to observe federal law enforcement harassing a neighbor. Thankfully the neighbor departed safely.

When bike mortality reporting leads with "e-bike" and "no helmet" it's like the "what was she wearing?" and "why was she out late at night" of cycling. #bikedc

Wheaton and Montgomery Malls have effectively banned teens by setting a curfew of 3pm, after which anyone under 18 must be accompanied by an adult 21+. We can't keep pushing teenagers out of public spaces if we also expect them to become functional and independent adults. wtop.com/maryland/202...

I think something that non-DC residents don't really get is that stuff like the Kennedy Center isn't just another white building on the national mall, it was a place that offered free public spaces, classes, and resources to people
