@Sen_Alsobrooks “Neighbor” is a moral term but not “life” apparently to our Senator. Quackery.

If we want to build a stronger nation, we have to see each other as neighbors and build a future where everyone has an on-ramp to opportunity and a chance to prosper.

@History_Stud sounds right! would prefer attacking others for their views than actually providing the counter argument.
English
@History_Stud Please regale us with the counter argument that Maryland is not bankrupt instead of this genetic fallacy you have committed.

Before the rise of Fentanyl-Americans, an ill-educated entertainer like this would have never advanced in the Maryland GOP.
Mark Fisher@fisher4maryland
@FOXBaltimore Maryland is bankrupt. Unless voters change direction, there will be massive tax increases immediately after the election. @GovWesMoore is a disaster.

@justjefx @PatrickHeizer I agree and I think that’s why we see this. Democrat policies made in term and impacts are seen next term. We’re talking trillion(s) dollar economies. They don’t turn on a dime.
English
@GregBaseman @PatrickHeizer Most spending policies intentionally push the financial impact into the next term. At least in my lifetime. Exception would be the bailouts for 2008 and COVID

Every Democrat since Carter has decreased the federal deficit.
Every Republican since Eisenhower has increased the federal deficit.

If there is ever a social phenomenon that needs to be studied, it is how the GOP has been able to hoodwink people for decades into thinking that they the party of “fiscal responsibility” when there is absolutely ZERO evidence to support that claim. And I mean ZERO.

@fisher4maryland @GovWesMoore @mddems You should bookmark this for the time capsule. Dust it off soon

Fact: The state portion of your property tax is dedicated to cover Maryland’s debt service. @GovWesMoore & @mddems will be increasing the state portion of the property tax immediately after the election.

LEAVING Maryland over property taxes. Viewer email: “I cannot afford my $10,000 property tax. I’m not a millionaire. Have a five year plan for Florida, possibly Tennessee.” Florida is looking to end property taxes for primary homes. Should Maryland do the same?

@JohnnyOJr So are congressional term limits and they likely predate the call for SCOTUS limits.
English
SCOTUS term limited are overwhelmingly supported by Americans of all political affiliations— and for good reason.
The Baltimore Sun@baltimoresun
A proposal by U.S. Rep. Johnny Olszewski Jr. to impose term limits on U.S. Supreme Court justices is opening a familiar partisan divide, with the Democrat framing it as a needed fix and a Maryland Republican calling it an overreaction to recent rulings. Legislation introduced by the freshman Baltimore County lawmaker would establish 18-year term limits for Supreme Court justices. The measure would reform a system that Olszewski, a former American history and government teacher, says enables justices “to serve for decades without accountability” because they have lifetime appointments. Olszewski’s long-shot bill reflects national Democrats’ growing dissatisfaction with a court they see as increasingly partisan and conservative, willing to upend precedent, and out of step with public opinion. The legislation follows a 6-3 ruling last week in which the court limited the Voting Rights Act’s power to enact race-based remedies for maps that marginalize Black voters’ election impact.

@IanMWolfe @MobtownDare And David Simon’s perception of parts of Baltimore and some of the crime going on was shaped by his experience as a crime reporter as I recall and then parts fictionalized for a show.
English
@GregBaseman @MobtownDare I mean you say that, but that’s a fine example: our perception of Troy is pretty much shaped by a pair of books about one war that happened.

Since @MayorBMScott first took office in 2020, he's made it his mission to fix Baltimore's vacant housing crisis and make room for usable housing supply. On this episode of the Odd Lots podcast, Mayor Scott tells @TheStalwart and @tracyalloway about the historic effects of gun violence and why Baltimore natives aren't huge fans of The Wire apple.co/4lTgFT6

@JoeVogel_ @RepJohnnyO Joe should join the rest of Johnny’s constituents and ask that Johnny institute the same for he and his colleagues in both sides of the legislature.
English
@JohnnyOJr It’s likely 100% would like term limits for you and yours. How bout do that

FTA: “A survey conducted by the Public Religion Research Institute (PRRI) in 2025 showed that even two-thirds of Republicans (67 percent) supported the idea of term-limiting Supreme Court justices, along with 85 percent of Democrats and 76 percent of independents.”

Representative Johnny Olszewski of Maryland is proposing the ROBE Act, which would create term limits for Supreme Court justices. #Echobox=1777921313" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">newsweek.com/thomas-alito-r…

@RepJohnnyO Is it your argument we should draw line on maps based on race? Like redlining?

@CarterElliottIV I’d be willing to be Carter can’t even respond with a real argument.

@MikenzieFrost @RepJohnnyO But he couldn’t possibly propose a term limit for himself or the senators across the hall.
English
WATCH | We asked @RepJohnnyO about his ROBE Act proposal this afternoon while he was in Baltimore.
"This is a Supreme Court with no code of ethics," he said. "I think it is reasonable, and in fact, necessary" to talk about how SCOTUS is "held accountable."
English
NEWS: MD Congressman Johnny Olszewski intends to introduce a constitutional amendment to implement term limits for Supreme Court Justices.
The ROBE Act, Reform of Bench Eligibility, would create 18-year terms for justices, "ensuring regular and predictable turnover."

@jemillerbalt Not a single one of these should happen (even if they work well which they may!) until every public owned building and impervious parking lot is covered with panels.

@pwoodreporter @JessMGallagher As in Marylanders earn an income and they won’t give it to the government to we have to increasingly take it from them.

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore kicked his campaign into high gear with a pair of rallies Saturday.
“My philosophy with this race — and my philosophy with life — is that everything is earned,” he told me. “Nothing is given.”
