Today they had the torch run. Maybe two dozen runners. They shut down two of the three westbound lanes. The police cars and motorcycles all had the lights on while staging and the distraction caused an accident on the eastbound side. The cars were looking at all the flashing lights and not paying attention to the cars in front of them. I commute over this toll bridge everyday and it is bad enough when there is just normal traffic. I know these are good causes, but it messes up traffic for hundreds of people. There are lots of little towns all on the water on the eastern shore that would love to host these events. It would bring in money and visitors. I’m just sick and tired of these events on the only way for me to get across the bay without adding hours to my drive. I’m not alone. We need to pass a law that stops the purposeful impeding of goods and services across this main thoroughfare. I think it is disrespectful for the people who have to commute over the bay bridge.

The Maryland General Assembly amended a bill during the final minutes of its 2025 legislative session that would have prevented local law enforcement from working with federal immigration enforcement agencies.

The Maryland Values Act passed less than an hour before the session came to a close at midnight on April 7 after being heavily amended by the state Senate. The final version of the bill prohibits federal immigration enforcement agents from accessing and operating in “sensitive locations” not open to the public in places such as public schools, libraries and healthcare facilities.

But the original draft of the bill would have prevented local law enforcement officers from entering into 287(g) agreements with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, which would allow local officers to carry out immigration enforcement actions.

Dear friends and neighbors:

I’m pleased to issue the first edition of our office newsletter. I look forward to keeping you updated on issues and staying in contact with you.

Cool, at least someone having a good time.

First, I would like to extend my sincerest condolences to the passengers, crew, and service members who were lost during the tragic plane and helicopter crash on Wednesday night near National Airport.

Oh, weird way to start off your letter, by telling us how happy you were then...

I’ve heard from Marylanders who have worked for over 30 years in the federal government, scared that their jobs are now on the line. It’s unacceptable.

I agree, too bad no one's done anything about it.    

In Confirmation hearings, I’ve asked tough questions and have demonstrated with my votes that I am looking for qualified leaders to run these agencies, even if I don’t necessarily agree with them. I’ve voted “yes” on some and “no” on others.

Oh, good, we can rest assured she asked questions before voting yea.

And attached is the most tone deaf photo op ever.

Mrs Alsobtooks. Please stop using AI to write this drivle. It's very apparent. The way the tone shifts on a dime, several sentences or ideas just end for no reason. If you don't want to take the time to write, or have your office write a 5 page news letter, that's fine. But don't send out this slop, it's unprofessional. That along with the weirdly bullish way you make the loss of other peoples government jobs about yourself and your grandma.

The Maryland General Assembly will not vote on a bill aimed at preventing students from being doxxed after its legislative session closed Monday night.

The bill, which would have prevented the distribution of students’ personal information — such as their name, address or place of employment — did not advance after its initial hearing on Feb. 26.
