The stars of today’s ribbon cutting may have been the red pandas—but this moment is about so much more than a new exhibit.

With fewer than 10,000 red pandas left in the wild, this new habitat at @marylandzoo will help educate visitors about conservation while inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards.

Proud that Maryland helped make this project possible and grateful to everyone whose partnership brought it to life. Welcome to your new home! 🐾

[Lt. Governor Aruna Miller @LtGovMiller]

Healing doesn't end when a child leaves the hospital—and for 20 years, @MWPH has made sure families never have to face the journey alone.

Proud to celebrate this remarkable partnership between Johns Hopkins, UMMS, and the dedicated clinicians and staff who make it all possible. Maryland's children are stronger because of you.

[Lt. Governor Aruna Miller @LtGovMiller]

Recovery happens in community—and that includes the workplace.

I joined the Maryland Department of Labor for its inaugural Recovery Friendly Workplace Convening to hear how employers across our state are helping reduce stigma around substance use disorder and creating supportive environments for employees in recovery.

Thank you to Maryland’s certified Recovery Friendly Workplaces for leading by example and helping build a stronger, healthier workforce.

[Lt. Governor Aruna Miller @LtGovMiller]

Stay cool and stay hydrated Maryland!

[Maryland Department of Health @MDHealthDept]

Dangerous heat and humidity is expected today and tomorrow for much of Maryland with heat indexes near 100°. Check on older relatives and neighbors to ensure they have working AC. If not, help them get to a local cooling center. Access cooling centers: https://t.co/sCjTf3iPv1.

For 55 years, Trooper 2 has been there when Marylanders needed them most.

Honored to celebrate the extraordinary men and women who carry out this lifesaving mission every day—and the legacy of service they continue to build across our state.

[Lt. Governor Aruna Miller @LtGovMiller]

At a moment when fear and uncertainty are touching immigrant communities across the country, Maryland is choosing partnership over division.

Immigrants are our nurses, entrepreneurs, construction workers, researchers, caregivers, and community leaders. They are 18% of our population, but contribute far more than 18% of Maryland's success.

Thank you to everyone at the Baltimore Immigration Summit who is helping write the next chapter of Maryland's story—a story that remains stronger, more prosperous, and more vibrant because of immigrants.

[Lt. Governor Aruna Miller @LtGovMiller]

Wellness isn’t just about health. It’s about purpose. It’s about community. It’s about knowing someone will walk beside you during the hard times.

That’s why the opening of the Bethel Empowerment & Wellness Center was so powerful. A beautiful example of faith in action and a major investment in the future of West Baltimore.

[Lt. Governor Aruna Miller @LtGovMiller]

My heart is with the Baltimore County police officer injured today in Pikesville while responding to a call for service.

No one should face violence for doing their job and serving their community. We are grateful to the first responders and medical teams providing care, and we are praying for the officer’s swift and full recovery.

[Lt. Governor Aruna Miller @LtGovMiller]

For 55 years, the men and women of Trooper 2 have answered the call when Marylanders needed them most.

Today, we celebrated their extraordinary legacy of service and thanked the pilots, flight paramedics, maintenance crews, and families who help keep Maryland safe every day.

[Lt. Governor Aruna Miller @LtGovMiller]

As an immigrant, I know how much courage it takes to leave behind what’s familiar and build a new life in a new place.

This Caribbean American Heritage Month, we celebrate the generations of Caribbean Americans who have brought their cultures, traditions, talents, and dreams to Maryland and helped make our state stronger, more vibrant, and more welcoming.

Your stories are woven into Maryland’s story. And we are better because of them.

[Lt. Governor Aruna Miller @LtGovMiller]

Faith leaders took us to church at this morning’s ribbon cutting for the new Bethel Empowerment and Wellness Center!

This center is proof of what’s possible when faith leaders, residents, nonprofits, businesses, and government work together to invest in people and neighborhoods. It’s a powerful new anchor for West Baltimore and a sign of the bright future ahead for Historic Marble Hill. 🙌🏾🕊️

[Lt. Governor Aruna Miller @LtGovMiller]

Spent the last two days with lieutenant governors and aerospace leaders from across the country at the NLGA State-Federal Aerospace Exchange.

From NASA and aviation to cybersecurity and workforce development, we explored how states can work together to strengthen America’s aerospace future. Proud to represent Maryland and showcase the innovation happening right here at home—from our world-class research institutions to the engineers, scientists, and students helping us reach new heights. 🚀

[Lt. Governor Aruna Miller @LtGovMiller]

The world is waiting for your voice.

It was an honor to celebrate the Seneca Valley High School Class of 2026 and share a simple reminder: wherever life takes you, lead with courage, lift others up, and never underestimate the impact you can make.

Congratulations, graduates! Keep singing your song.

[Lt. Governor Aruna Miller @LtGovMiller]

I recently had the privilege of visiting the cutting-edge NIDA research team in Baltimore, where I saw firsthand their novel clinical trials exploring how GLP-1 drugs may rewire neural circuits linked to addiction. Proud to see their work featured in @wapo.

The biggest questions in neuroscience are being answered right here in Maryland! https://t.co/GgAJjnloCy

[Lt. Governor Aruna Miller @LtGovMiller]

Pride Month is a celebration of love, authenticity, and the freedom to be who you are.

This month, and every month, Maryland stands with our LGBTQ+ community. We will continue working to build a state where everyone can live openly, safely, and with dignity.

Happy Pride, Maryland! 🏳️‍🌈

[Lt. Governor Aruna Miller @LtGovMiller]

One last pop quiz for the Class of 2026:

True or false: “Never change who you are.”

The answer? False.

Stay grounded in your values, but never stop evolving. Growth isn’t becoming someone else—it’s becoming the best version of yourself.

Congratulations, @FrederickCC graduates!

Maryland has received nearly $246 million in opioid settlement funds so far and expects more than $740 million by 2038.

Our new public dashboard gives Marylanders a transparent look at how those dollars are being invested in prevention, treatment, recovery, and harm reduction across our state.

A huge thank you to the team at @StopOverdoseMD for bringing this dashboard to life and helping make transparency and accountability a central part of our overdose response work. Proud of what this team continues to accomplish for Maryland communities.

[Maryland's Office of Overdose Response @StopOverdoseMD]

Today, @ltgovmiller and our team announced the launch of Maryland’s new Prescription Opioid Settlement Dashboard!

It provides an overview of funds Maryland has received and expects to receive from prescription opioid legal settlements.

[Lt. Governor Aruna Miller @LtGovMiller]

Where are Maryland’s opioid settlement dollars going?

Our new public dashboard gives Marylanders a clearer picture of how these funds are being distributed across the state and invested in prevention, treatment, recovery, and harm reduction efforts in local communities.

Transparency builds trust, and Marylander’s deserve to know how resources meant to address the overdose crisis are being put to work.

Eight years ago, this program graduated just 8 students.

This year, more than 400 students earned both their associate degree and high school diploma through the @montgomerycoll–MCPS partnership. That’s what happens when we invest in young people and believe in their potential.

Congratulations Class of 2026!
