Just my Opinion

@BaltimoreBrew @MarkConway4th @Zeke_Cohen @MayorBMScott Let me fix your headline. The city council voted 13-1 to keep corruption alive in the city govt and prevent the IG from investigating and reporting the corruption to the citizens.

UPDATE: The Baltimore City Council voted 13-1 to keep the Inspector General records access bill in committee, thereby killing the bill's chances to come before city voters in the November general election. tinyurl.com/r23vm88f. @MarkConway4th, @Zeke_Cohen, @MayorBMScott

@ChristineCT64 @SenBillFerg Meantime students in other parts of the state get less then half and the districts are struggling worse then the city schools.

@Copper2029 @SenBillFerg Yup They just increased the budget Baltimore city gets $22,751 per student. This was prior to the new increase

I came to Baltimore as a teacher. My first classroom didn't have a doorknob. For a full year I carried a pair of scissors in my pocket just to get in and out of the room. That doorknob — or the lack of one — made me want to be part of building a system that says to every person, in every neighborhood, in every school: you matter. You belong here. This place was built for you. That experience is a big part of why I ran for office — and why I'm still here. This is Francis Scott Key Elementary and Middle School in Locust Point. We just secured $1.5 million this session for new bathrooms, classroom furniture, and lockers. Baltimore has rebuilt or renovated more school buildings than any other urban district in the country — 14 of them right here in the 46th District. Every kid deserves a school that tells them they belong. Early voting starts June 11. Election Day is June 23

@BaltimoreBrew @MayorBMScott @Zeke_Cohen @BillforBmore Politicians love a grift and hate to lose it because of term limits. Got to keep those pockets full y’know.

Back from the dead: Councilman Ryan Dorsey's effort to repeal term limits for Baltimore electeds that were approved by the voters in 2022. tinyurl.com/kjy92vjx It's on the agenda to be introduced at tonight's City Council meeting.

@MikenzieFrost @FOXBaltimore @CMZekeCohen Inner Harbor-lost due to crime Fells Point-failing and dying fast Canton-dying Downtown- lost Those damn smoke shops though.

This evening, Baltimore City Council President Zeke Cohen and Councilman Tony Glover are introducing a bill going after smoke shops with repeated violations. "If you are going to prey on our kids and our communities, we are going to shut you down," @CMZekeCohen told me today.

@RepJohnnyO Congress first.

It's time to restore faith in the Supreme Court.

@chrispapst @FOXBaltimore Maryland is more of a mess then it was four years ago. Thanks for showing us the reasons and proving to Dems they vote wrong.

@Sen_Alsobrooks I’d rather RFK jr stay and YOU resign.

A year ago, I called for RFK Jr. to resign or be fired. A year later, I’m still calling for it. We cannot afford incompetence when lives are on the line.

@MDBayNews Went to a restaurant the other day and the service was terrible. Spoke to the manager and got a shrug. Total tip was zero. Paid with cash so no shenanigans.

Why don’t restaurants in America pay their servers? How does this sign make you feel?

@EricLuedtke Dems cry like babies when they realize they don’t control the media narrative anymore.

It's amazing how quickly the storied Baltimore Sun has turned into a hack paper which apparently only exists to engage in partisan, bad-faith character assassination and right wing rants. Wes Moore served his country in uniform. That's deserving of respect, full stop.

@wbaltv11 Next up, Joe Metheny Street.

A part of Greenmount Avenue in Baltimore's Pen Lucy neighborhood now has a new name: wbaltv.com/article/tupac-…

@FOXBaltimore Bobble head of a guy who pretended to be a thug and died because of it. Seems fitting for Baltimore.

A Tupac Shakur bobblehead giveaway at Oriole Park at Camden Yards has sparked both excitement among Orioles fans and criticism from a Baltimore Sun op-ed that argues the promotion sends the wrong message about the city. BOBBLEHEAD BANTER: bit.ly/4u1ZcMM

@LtGovMiller Dems love to cry racism whenever someone disagrees with their terrible ideas and policies.

“You don’t get to wrap racism in a flag and call it patriotism. Not now. Not ever.” Earlier this week at UMBC, we had an important conversation about the growing influence of AAPI voters, the dangers of misinformation, and how essential representation and respect is in our democracy.

@FOXBaltimore @MolotovFlicker The BPD had a dirt bike task force. It got nationally recognized for going after illegal dirt bike riders. Then he got elected and had a dirt bike advocate on his staff and “poof” no more task force. Now he wants to what?

After a 37-year-old man died in a dirt bike crash, Mayor Brandon Scott said that his office wanted to address the root causes of dirt bike injuries — if not through increased police response, then perhaps through legislation. bit.ly/4wkopn8

Got what it takes? Marathon swimmer Katie Pumphrey is inviting 100 swimmers to the first-ever one mile Baltimore Harbor open water swim on June 7. You must register and qualify to participate in the swim. wbaltv.com/article/swimme…

@jemillerbalt I saw a cloud move across the sky and block the sun. I immediately blamed Trump for the cloud blotting the sun. See I can say dumb atuff like Jayne.

Questionable decisions have negative consequences that are now coming to pass

@Spicxer If you never had to deal with it then you probably wouldn’t see the full picture.

@Copper2029 Most run into cars, huh? I guess the problem will solve itself then.

The city is cracking down on dirt bike riders, who almost never hurt anyone, after a rider died because a car pulled in front of them. Does that make sense when drivers hurt and kill people every single day with impunity? Dirt bike riders are no threat to me, car drivers, though

@realmaxkirk @varrock Well according to the Communist democrats, Blacks and Latinos are incapable of functioning in a law abiding society so therefore they need special protections to help them.

@varrock Blacks are seriously the only group of people that require a societal handicap to function in society without winding up in jail.
