GNDEM condemns further repression of civil society in Uganda ahead of elections, as several prominent election monitoring and human rights NGOs, including GNDEM members, are suspended by the government.

Results for District 22. Senator Alonzo Washington, my districtmate Ashanti Martinez and I attended the unveiling of the new noise camera on Adelphi Road to issue warnings to motorist whose cars are too loud. This is a pilot project established by the Maryland state legislature.

Many thanks to the state and county leaders who brought this pilot program to #AdelphiRoad, & to ⁦@UPTown_MD⁩ residents who kept advocating!

A shameful example of how this administration has replaced diplomacy and support for America’s actual friends around the world with groveling to dictators and wasteful, unlawful payoffs.

I am proud to support these enterprising Native American women’s quest for justice. What they have endured is unconscionable and against all American values (and plenty of laws).

I am honored & grateful to announce my reelection to University Park MD's Town Council. I will work hard to ensure residents receive quality, responsive service from their municipal government, and that decision-making is transparent, open, reasoned and prudent.

WATCH: “We are American citizens. We were denied having our passports renewed at the 🇺🇸 embassy in Dakar (Senegal). This is absolutely asinine.” 🤔

[American Oversight @weareoversight]

Our lawsuit forced the creation of a new records retention policy for DOGE.

The policy is dated March 25—the day after we'd filed a motion for a records preservation order—and comes as the administration is facing intense scrutiny for its use of Signal. https://t.co/ty01j6ssfF
