After seeing the conditions at the current FBI Headquarters today, one thing is obvious: the building is falling apart, and the men and women of the FBI deserve better. Greenbelt is the right choice β and itβs the law. I fully support AG Brownβs suit to hold this administration accountable.

Today in history, 2008: Barack Obama becomes the first person of African American or biracial descent to be elected President of the United States.
May we channel the joy and hope we felt on that day as we forge a path forward for democracy in America.
In America, the power belongs to the people.
This Election Day, millions will make their voices heard β choosing governors, mayors, school boards, and judges who will shape their communities and our future.

In the face of this cruel government shutdown, weβre taking another significant step to protect Maryland families and children:
Iβve signed an executive order releasing $62 million to help Marylanders who rely on SNAP benefits put food on the table.
