This is really good to see: Miki Sherrill just put out a statement sharply criticizing the Senate Dems' pending cave in the government shutdown, ripping it as "malpractice" and a betrayal of the people who are "counting on us to fight for them." Sherrill knows what drove her victory. Wake up, Dems.

ICE poised to ramp up raids in Baltimore by Thanksgiving
The Trump administration has rush-ordered infrastructure to conduct raids, abduct residents, and detain people for months.
I have been actively watching contracts and surge funding over the last few days and what I would say to my friends in Baltimore is โbe absolutely ready, right now.โ

Trumpโs recent obsession with Venezuela is increasingly looking like a shake down for oil & rare earth minerals.
It has little to do with drug boats.
The tech bros have him in a tizzy over rare earth minerals needed for next gen tech.
Itโs why he wanted Greenland.

โLetโs be nice, pleaseโ: Debate over sidewalks gets testy amid safety concerns
The Montgomery County Department of Transportation wants to add sidewalks in Kensington. Neighbors are turning on those who welcome the change.
For this to happen, we need political courage. When neighbors whine about the added burden of new sidewalks, county staff & electeds canโt give in & should call people out. There is objective data showing that sidewalks, road diets, bike lanes, etc. save lives.

A fix is coming to an intersection where a girl was killed by a school bus
Residents called for more safety measures after a Montgomery County student on a bicycle was fatally struck by a school bus near a middle school in Aspen Hill.
We know that it's killing pedestrians and bikers because kids have been killed at Montgomery County intersections only to have MCDOT refuse to put in basic safety infrastructure.
At this intersection, it took two child fatalities to get MCDOT to install a stop sign (gift link): wapo.st/4qubQmi

Drivers routinely speed down Sligo Ave through East Silver Spring (where I live) despite the high volume of pedestrians, due to a lack of stops and traffic calming elements.
A child was recently hit at this intersection but MCDOT refuses to consider stop signs. This approach is killing pedestrians.
