Good morning! I'm a delegate who will be voting in Chicago next month for the Democratic nominee. I'll be casting my vote for Joe Biden. Retweet if you'll be voting for Joe in November.
Calling your political opponents fascists is the exact type of toxic rhetoric that is hurting our country. We should be able to talk about the issues that most people in America want us to focus on without resorting to divisive name calling.
Spoiler alert! Democrats in Maryland voted to override Larry Hogan's veto of paid sick leave in 2018. When you're sick and need to stay home from work, thank a Democrat! Now you don't have to choose between your physical and financial health!
Three former governors who don't use "Governor" before their names. And a fourth former governor who stopped tweeting from his Governor account on his last day in office. See how this works

The guy who still calls himself "Governor" hides what office he's running for. Even on his new signs. Voters in Maryland know how important it is to choose a senator. We know what's at stake. We're voting for

Just in, we win: Hogan and Robinson are enjoined from taking any action that will prevent the State of Maryland from receiving any and all expanded and/or supplemental benefits available under the CARES Act, ARPA, or any other federal unemployment benefits.
Today's milestone of Lawrence Hogan continuing to defraud the Twitterverse by calling himself "Governor" and pretending that the removal of the Dali happened during his watch or with his help. If this man was the bipartisan person he claims to be, then he would credit Wes Moore.
Today’s milestone of moving the Dali from the collapse site of the Francis Scott Key Bridge means our Port of Baltimore is one step closer to being fully reopened. Thank you to all the local, state, and federal personnel who have worked around the clock over the past two months
Governors Larry Hogan, Ron DeSantis, Kay Ivey, Asa Hutchinson. They're all the same. Hogan in the Senate would be another Ted Cruz, Josh Hawley, or JD Vance.
Today, under Dem Gov. Wes Moore

This morning I met with International Longshoremen Association President Scott Cowan and State Senator Johnny Ray Salling to hear from them firsthand their priorities and needs at this incredibly difficult time.
Leaders at every level of government and in both parties need to
Every day Washington politicians play politics instead of addressing the border crisis, they are failing the American people.
It doesn’t matter if it’s proposed by Republicans or Democrats. It’s the right thing to do. I would gladly join with Senate Democrats to get this done.
I don't know why any of you subscribe to billionaire Jeff Bezos' Washington Post. Brooke Lierman is one of the most intelligent and hard-working elected officials in Maryland. That's indisputable. The fact that they endorsed a Republican over her tells you everything. 1/
@ChrisMurphyCT
This is such a bizarre thread. There is no test to join the Democratic Party. You check a box on a voter registration form. Folks don't get kicked out for disagreeing on an issue. If a bigot wants to advocate for raising the minimum wage, he can. We don't need to high five him.
Every national talk show host should ask Larry Hogan who he voted for. Wes Moore or Dan Cox. If he says Dan Cox then he proves to be a liar who prefers MAGA extremism. If he says Wes Moore then he ends his presidential run before it begins. If he says neither, then he's a coward.

meeting in Towson tonight. So many ways to get involved. I love to see plan to vote the bums out who protect the gun industry.
BUILD BACK WORSE: Last year when Biden came to Maryland THREE times to stump for my opponent I warned that the "build back better" plan was a lie - that the real agenda was to force us off the roads. Biden falsely called me "extreme" for warning you about their plans. But the
Let me give you one reason crime in Baltimore persists. I'm in the middle of a trial of a juvenile for an armed robbery. The evidence CLEARLY proves that the wrong person was identified on a video. The actual robber was RIGHT THERE on the video, but wasn't pointed to.
In 2015, Larry Hogan waived $10,000 of my student loan debt. Now, I'm a successful small business owner, homeowner, and father of two boys. In 2022, Hogan is on Fox News running for president and pretending that it's a bad idea that forgiveness helped make it all possible.
When I ran for State Senate in 2018, I knocked on Kathy's mom's door in Towson. Two things I can say, 1) Kathy's mother raised her better than this. 2) Her mom voted for me.
Remember that time when Larry Hogan turned off the COVID dashboard for a couple weeks, then turned it back on and was like "everyone has COVID, Merry Christmas!"
@GovLarryHogan
Your hatred for Baltimore blinds you from reading what actually happened. The owner is a p.o.s. and a failure regardless of what Fox45 tells you.
As a law student, seeing attorneys named as co-conspirators and threatened to have their licenses revoked only because they gave legal advice to former President Trump worries me. This is against the very nature of the American justice system I’ve long aspired to be a part of.
Since the primary election just three weeks ago, we have received six union endorsements, and I am beyond grateful to have the support of these unions that represent hardworking Marylanders.
I was proud to support Maryland’s workers and first responders as governor, and that’s
The old governor is here in all black at Annapolis Pride after 8 years of not participating, vetoing legislation to protect LGBTQ communities, and letting countless bills go through without his signature.
This is a community he is not proud to support— all performative politics.

When I was visiting a client at the Baltimore County Detention Center today, who is being held pre-trial, I kept thinking about Roy McGrath. My client who has never missed a court date but couldn't be trusted to show up for court. I wonder what the difference was.
I was interviewed for this article. Or, I thought I was. They didn't include any quotes from me even though they asked if they could. It didn't fit the narrative of this article. I said that I was voting for Biden at the DNC and there is no discussion otherwise.
Biden had a tough task with his interview on Friday: Calm the nerves of anxious Democrats.
The early reviews indicate he didn't do that.
He was never going to be able to do that.
This election is way beyond a wealthy person giving heavily to a campaign. This is much more perverse. An oligarch buying multiple media companies and financing a PAC to change electoral outcomes. When we talk about threats to democracy, we talk about Trump. This might be worse.
🧵Baltimore’s mayoral election tomorrow is being shaped by “the single biggest donation to a political campaign in city history.” But search campaign finance records and you won’t find it anywhere.
My latest at FAIR:
Maryland Republican Senate Primary:
FORMER Governor Hogan - 61.88%
Disbarred Attorney Ficker - 30.08%
The media reports that Trump has a problem when Nikki Haley racks up 20% of the vote. Last night proves that Hogan is an even bigger loser than the impeached guy on trial.
Bodycamera video from the police have their own officers stating that my client is the OTHER GUY on the video. But the prosecutor in my case is still pursuing the wrong guy. AND SHE KNOWS IT! He's incarcerated right now while an ARMED ROBBER is on the street. Truth doesn't matter
It's not "the schools are failing our children." Ivan, Baltimore City teachers and staff work their asses off. The issues in Baltimore start way before kids are in school. Look around these neighborhoods. We can't blame the schools, then criminalize kids. This is how we got here.
@SheilaDixonBalt
Republicans are rooting for you. Mayor Scott didn’t plant a single seed for economic growth, even with his government handout of $641M.

for Senate, despite Hogan’s comments that people should “respect the verdict” in the NY hush money trial
I'm not saying that Larry Hogan is on this list of Ted Cruz donors, but Elon Musk doesn't want you to know if Larry Hogan is on this list of Ted Cruz donors.
Trump wins,
Republicans keep the House, and
Hogan tips the Senate to the GOP.
In that scenario, do you think Hogan will vote with Democrats or Republicans on abortion, voting rights, climate, immigration, etc...?
The only thing that Larry Hogan has successfully managed since becoming governor in 2014, is making himself a multi-millionaire real estate developer while his brother controls the company in a "blind trust." Change my mind.
I'm in Zoom court this morning in Baltimore City. My campaign team will be at the Baltimore County Board of Elections to watch the counting of mail-in ballots. Wish us luck!

and Gallagher Evelius, & Jones. We fought a righteous fight and exposed that Hogan canceled UI benefits b/c of politics, not economics.
If you are seeing this outside of Maryland, then please know that all good things here that Hogan champions are due to our veto-proof Democratic majorities in the legislature and our Democratic County governments.
I'm a former Baltimore public defender, sued Larry Hogan on behalf of unemployed Marylanders (and won), helped hundreds of lead-poisoned kids earn justice. I believe black lives matter. Women's rights are human rightsjoi. And I'm now running for Baltimore County State's Attorney.
Really pathetic decision by Denise Whiting and HonFest. Right-wing extremists across the country shouldn't get to turn healthcare into a "hot topic" in Baltimore City.
O.M.G. every media outlet should write "Popular Senate Candidate Angela Alsobrooks" in their articles about the race. This one has to hurt

It's like no one cares that
@LarryHogan
is spending his last 25% of his term campaigning for president across the country and going on international vacations with his wife. All while making millions on his real estate side business. Imagine if he was a black female.
Have you seen the chorus of Republican Senators like Marco Rubio and Tim Scott saying that the American jury system is rigged and like communist countries? If Larry Hogan wins, he might be forced to sit in the corner, but his win would put these Constitutional arsonists in charge
For those still paying attention...
I'm behind 42,322 to 40,527. There are about 11,000 votes left to count (and maybe more if they arrive in the mail by Friday) which includes provisionals. It's a tough hill to climb, but anything is possible.
Today, President Joe Biden is speaking at Morehouse College's commencement. We need more folks in Washington to support historically black colleges. Folks like

The rushed and irresponsible withdrawal from Afghanistan that has enabled the rise of the Taliban is a disgrace to the memory of every Marylander and American who lost their lives there fighting for freedom and keeping our nation safe.

@Arightside
Armstrong Williams, had this commentary ready. From the team that brought you the PAC supporting Dixon and who bought the city's newspaper of record. Your subscription isn't saving jobs. It's promoting propaganda.
Last June, I helped a woman get a peace order against Miner.
In July, he filed an attorney grievance against me and lost.
In August, we won when he tried to have the peace order thrown out.

Today, Miner apologizes.

This is what Ivan Bates is feuding with Brandon Scott about. Not murders. Not violent crime. But the "citation docket." Bates want to throw the mayor out of office because Scott would rather focus on serious issues instead of open containers. Terrible political calculus by Bates.
I spent this week sitting in on the new citation docket, which is where low-level quality-of-life crimes are being handled since

announced last month it would begin prosecuting them again. Here’s what I saw:
NEWS: It’s the first day of in-person early voting and state Sen. Jill Carter is endorsing Sheila Dixon for mayor as the primary race intensifies.
“I have concluded that Sheila Dixon is the best choice for mayor,” Carter says.
So last night we were sitting next to a family of Phillies fans. I don't know why they were there since the O's were playing Texas. Nonetheless, my brother was chatting with them while I was grabbing a papusa. And they gave us one of their shirts! Folks from Philly aren't so bad!
I passed the Maryland bar exam on my first try. However, my GPA was near the bottom of my class at University of Baltimore. No one cares about either of those things when they choose to hire me or when a jury comes to a verdict. I'm still a bad ass lawyer...like Kamala.
For those wondering if a progressive should back Biden. Yes, I'm one.
This week, the Republican Party is going to show us who they are. Believe them. We've got a lot of fight too, though.

Thank you to
@MomsDemand
for awarding my campaign with the Gun Sense Candidate distinction! As Baltimore County's next State's Attorney, I will be a strong advocate for gun violence prevention and will lead with gun safety in mind!
While I was downtown at the Baltimore City Circuit Courthouse, I noticed all of the businesses that have closed during the pandemic. It's because jury trials were suspended for a year. Prosecuting everybody for every little thing keeps an entire economy afloat. That's sad.
When Hogan emerges from wherever he has been, someone needs to ask him about this. This is not the first state employee to be demoted or fired for questioning his administration's handling of its COVID response.
The Maryland Department of Health for months did not notify hundreds of people who may have received spoiled vaccines, and an employee who reported the mishandled doses alleges the agency retaliated against her for pressing to fix the issues.
I'll be making an official complaint, but wanted to share this here, too. This is on the corner of Padonia Road and York Road. No white supremacists in Timonium. I couldn't rip this shit off, but hopefully

This is what the Post is doing. They endorse a GOP male against the only female Democrat running statewide. All because she is against expanding highways? C'mon. She actually is too smart to think infinite highway expansion is the only solution. This is why I don't subscribe. 4/4
