Key points
  • And I said [to wealthy Marylanders], you need to invest more to make sure that we’re doing things like we’re doing: having the fastest public safety turnaround story in the United States of America, having math and reading scores in our public….
  • The question now is how Democrats can best wield their new power to act on the currents that carried them into office.
  • Our hospitals have a universal budget, and are then able to make sure that people are getting the care that they need.

I think that over time, the longer one lives, the more encounters one has, not just because they can keep accumulating and adding up, but because one learns to see or one becomes aware of just the astonishing plenitude that’s all around one.

Additional details
  • For example, gas prices: There’s no governor that can impact gas prices.
  • So there are things that we can do right now to be able to address it.
  • If it’s state-owned land, don’t tell me why we can’t do something.
  • Voters pushed Republicans out — and kept Democrats like Moore in power — in part because of their concerns over a handful of critical issues, including the rising cost of living, the Iran war, and the growing dominance of AI and data centers.
  • The reason we made the largest investments in childcare in our state’s history is because it is insane when you’re watching the fact that people are spending thirty and forty percent of their paychecks on child care and knowing how much that’s actually going to impact [them].
