The media is indispensable to a free society. Journalists nationwide are telling the stories of demonstrators who otherwise feel powerless and broken after #GeorgeFloyds murder. Blanketly denigrating the press as fake news is anthethical to values that make our country great.

Local health officers of Marylands Power 5 Counties should turn to their own elected leaders to make unpopular decisions. Calling on the governor to do your dirty work is weak. Responsible businesses dont need renewed statewide mandates to further restrict them from operating. https://t.co/brcPCYooLi
I am saddened by the passing of Senate President Emeritus Thomas V. Mike Miller Jr. As a leader, mentor and historian, he devoted his life to making the Maryland Senate and each one of its members better. I will miss his wisdom, his leadership, but most of all his friendship. https://t.co/5CJnCryg5D
Its been a rough day on the Eastern Shore. Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help. Sharing this picture of a beautiful evening visible from the back yard. https://t.co/SuarjI9bZZ
