Good morning Maryland! It's a cold one out there because of that biting wind. Take that extra ten minutes to bundle up and it will pay off. Feels like 20s & 30s all day with the wind. Sun to clouds, but dry. Enjoy the day with the heavy jackets & sunglasses. @WJZ
@mtamaryland Is there a reason buses aren’t provided when this happens? Have been waiting for MARC for an hour an a half now (having planned to take train 426 frm Odenton). Incremental “delays” help no one. Be upfront + honest about the delays and cancellation. And provide an alternative.
@BaltimoreDPW@CouncilmanETC provided another update (thx). BLUF, boil water if you’re inside the dotted line (which does include parts of the 11th). Press conference at 8:30 - seemingly @BaltimoreDPW finally remembered there are people who might want to know if their water is contaminated.
UPDATES: E. Coli / Water Boil Advisory
1- Everything in dashed catchment area in map is under "Water Boil Advisory".
2- I've requested a high-resolution map based on a few constituent request.
3- The Administration is holding a press conference at 8:30pm to provide more details
DPW has issued a "Water Boil Advisory" impacting ~1,500 residential properties in West Baltimore. While no properties in the 11th District are currently under advisory, the notice has been issued to portion of the NW portion of the 11th District. https://t.co/J1Cp4cXjlC
@BaltimoreDPW I am appalled at the limited amount of information in this “update”. @wjz has a map - why can’t I find this map on the @BaltimoreDPW website? Why don’t I know if my water is safe to drink? @CouncilmanETC, can you clarify?
@McConnellPress Instead of rushing through a SCOTUS nominee, #DoYourJob and pass the #HEROESAct! If you don't act NOW millions of working families will be unable to pay the rent and keep food on the table.
@chadgarland A “female” Marine is not a “girl” - she is a Marine, and a woman. A girl is someone under 18. And a marine is a marine, regardless of gender. https://t.co/4ZYeWkFoMZ
Really? Finland's life expectancy is 81.8; America's is 78.7 (and falling). Finland infant mortality rate is 1.7 deaths per 1,000 live births; America's is 5.9, three times as high. Thousands of American babies die each year because we don't have Finland's rate of child survival.
I don’t understand why men continue to tell women what to do with their bodies. Every woman on the Supreme Court opposed the ruling in #NIFLAvBecerra allowing crisis pregnancy centers to deceive women coming for help. Enough. These are our bodies. Listen to us.
I never thought I would live to see a day when the Supreme Court of the United States would again make a decision as inhumane as Dred Scott v. Sandford or Korematsu v. United States. #StandWithMuslims#NoMuslimBanEver
Another product I wont be buying because of their uninformed decision to test on animals. @ProcterGamble, choose an alternative. Until then, I will #boycott.
@Apple I am disappointed to learn of your affiliation with the NRA. The NRA has proven that it cares more about profits than lives. Stand up for real American values, not profit driven ones that have cost more than 56,000 lives in three years.”

.@SpeakerRyan Mr. Speaker, the time for action is now. We know the facts. There are too many guns. How many more children must die? How many more students? How many more teachers? People who are not willing to lead should get out of the way.
@ChrisVanHollen There should be no deal until there are ACTUAL protections for Dreamers. Do not lose my vote over this. Dems have the upper hand - do not give in to extortion. #novote#trumpshutdown#dreamers

Thank you @SenGillibrand for sticking to ur principles. I am angry that Dems gave into extortion from the Reps. They used CHIP as a bargaining tool, and now we only have “assurances” that they will “talk” about protecting Dreamers in future. #unacceptable#nodeal#trumpshutdown https://t.co/cerrARboL4
I am deeply disappointed that today’s outcome fails to protect Dreamers. They deserve better from the elected leaders of the only country many of them have ever called home.
