Shana Tova! Wishing you and the family (and all of us) a sweet new year!

Yesterday, my colleague Googled to confirm when the next presidential term ends. Here’s what he got.

In the Hiroshima Peace Park a week ago.

"Cherry slices"? Lol! Thanks for standing up and pushing back!

I was there in Rockville, MD.

I was across the street from you. 😀

Statement from Alsobrooks on X, Thursday afternoon 3/13/2025. I will be voting ‘No’ on cloture and on the Republican continuing resolution. A continuing resolution will allow President Trump to continue doing what he’s doing. Looting our government to pay for tax cuts for billionaires. Conducting a witch hunt against our patriotic civil servants — people who work on behalf of our veterans, people who work on behalf of our students, people who work on behalf of our domestic violence survivors. Threatening to cut Social Security benefits, to cut Medicaid. Causing the markets to crash by starting a trade war with our allies that will raise prices on goods and impact the pocketbooks of everyday Americans. To allow the President to continue what he’s doing would be in direct contradiction with my mandate — to fight for Marylanders. We have a unique opportunity at this moment to course correct and pass a clean, bipartisan funding bill that would address some of these concerns and mistakes. That is what Marylanders need and deserve in this moment of chaos. Republicans control the White House, Senate, and House of Representatives. Whatever happens next is squarely on them.

@alsobrooks.senate.gov Please make sure that you post any statements that you make on X to Bluesky, as well. I had to go to the bad place to see if you had made your decision public. Some of do not want to be there. Thanks!

What’s the use of having power if you won’t use it? This is an existential crisis, and you have to fight. Vote NO!

If you can’t stand up and fight, you should not step down from leadership. Rolling over and playing dead is giving them what they want. Please do not give up on America!!!!

Thank you! Can you talk some sense into Schumer? Now is a time to fight!

My daughter and her girlfriend are constituents of yours. You’ve been an enormous disappointment to them. Please understand that if you are not willing to fight for your country, you don’t belong in that office. Vote NO on cloture.

Vote NO on cloture and talk sone sense into Schumer.

Your constituents need you to vote NO on cloture!

Thank you, but can you please talk some sense into your colleagues that are not willing to fight? We are ready for new Senate leadership!

To claim that you are fighting, you have to actually fight! Do not roll over and play dead!

Sources: Snyder 'hates' Commanders success Sources close to the ex-Commanders owner say he remains in denial over what led to his ouster from the NFL.

A hopeful and affirming piece from ESPN. And petty me loves that Snyder is miserable. www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/...

Thanks for sharing. Did you ever watch “Watchmen”? Reparations and the Tulsa Race Massacre are central to the story. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watchme...

My husband uses a wheelchair, and once asked a very short, grandmotherly woman to get something off a high shelf “because you’re so much taller than I am.” He said she was still beaming when he ran into her in the checkout lane. 😀

It is to me. 😀
