From the Eastern Shore of MD to communities across the country, patriots are standing up against the lawlessness of this administration. Thankful for the hundreds of Marylanders who joined our town hall at Chesapeake College today. We won’t stop fighting — not for one second.

I went to El Salvador hoping to meet with Kilmar & check on his well-being, and I had the chance to do that last night. Our courts have been clear: this was an ILLEGAL abduction. I’m speaking now about my meeting with Kilmar & our work to bring him home: twitter.com/i/broadcasts/1…

Fantastic panel on “Bracing for Sea Level Rise” here at #MACoCon @MDCounties @CCAN @reginatboyce
