What Vivek Ramaswamy has done here is despicable beyond words
Amy Acton's brother slams Vivek Ramaswamy featuring her estranged mother in a campaign ad. "After he was arrested and Amy and I were removed from their custody, our birth mother stayed married to Amy’s rapist until he died. This desperate, disgusting attack reveals exactly who Vivek Ramaswamy is at his core – a pathetic excuse for a man who is willing to hurt anyone as long as it gets him what he wants."

Yea Acton's mom is clearly not well. The whole story is really sad. But what's disgusting is that @VivekGRamaswamy is taking advantage of it Here's the real story, for anyone interested in reality: vindyarchives.com/news/2019/…
New bombshell in Ohio Governor’s race: Apparently, Amy Acton’s own mother has appeared in an ad urging voters to not vote for her daughter. Can’t say I expected that.

📣@GovWesMoore stop private for-profit highway developers from expanding I-495 and I-270. Their plan will mean high tolls, won't solve congestion, and will increase air pollution. Say No to #BeltwayExpansion. #No4ProfitTollLanes

I haven’t endorsed in the Democratic primary for County Executive in Montgomery County, and I’m not doing so now, but I want to make one thing clear - there is no place for outside super PAC ads that lie about any candidates in this race. Let’s hold ourselves to some basic standards of political decency. I urge all candidates to call for it to be pulled down.

Soon, you could see light posts in D.C. turned into electric vehicle charging stations. Voltpost, which specializes in this retrofitting, is one of three companies to be awarded a grant from the city to build more stations. wjla.com/news/local/ev-charg…

The D.C. Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE) recently awarded grants split among three companies dedicated to building EV charging stations. For one company, one solution involves lamp posts. wjla.com/news/local/ev-charg…

Maryland Senators, for lower costs, more transportation choices, and less pollution, pass the Transportation and Climate Alignment Act (HB 437/SB 59) before midnight on April 13th! #TCA #environment #moretransitchoices #health #mdga2026

Alex Pretti, the man who was killed by Border Patrol in Minneapolis on Saturday, was seen reading a final salute to a veteran who died in 2024 in a video shared by the service member's son. Pretti, 37, was an intensive care nurse at a Veterans Affairs hospital who cared deeply about people and was upset by President Trump's immigration crackdown in his city, family members said. Pretti was a U.S. citizen, born in Illinois. "Never wanted to share this video but his speech is very on point," Mac Rudolph wrote on social media. "Also my Fathers final words to me was to continue to fight the good fight. He would be honored in Alex' sacrifice, and ashamed of this current administration." The Department of Homeland Security said the agent acted in self-defense after attempting to disarm Pretti, but Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz said that account was "nonsense" after reviewing videos of the shooting. cbsnews.com/news/alex-jeffre…

Good morning @PepcoConnect. I was unable to report a burned out #streetlight on Metropolitan Ave in #Kensington MD last night last night or this morning because your streetlight outage reporting web page was down. This streetlight is owned by #Pepco but leased to @MCDOTNow

As of this morning, the @PepcoConnect streetlight outage reporting web page is still down. I was able to report the outage by calling the service center. Call duration was about 9 minutes. The friendly rep informed me it would take up to 45 business days to change the bulb.

Good morning @mdsha - what steps are you taking to fix your permitting process so that contractors working in the right of way understand that it is unacceptable to block sidewalks? Seen today on MD185 (Connecticut Ave) in Kensington #pedestriansafety

The project to replace an out-of-service charging station at 3355a Benning Road NE near I-295 is now complete! In partnership with taxicab operator Transco Inc., @doee_dc added four high-capacity DC fast charging ports. To learn more about this project: shorturl.at/nVUgj

Hi @wmataGM. I would like to request @wmata add a stop for SB M22 at University Blvd W & East Ave in Wheaton. There is already a @MCDOTNow RideOn stop there for routes 34 & 4. Housing, shopping & food nearby. @MDSHA recently upgraded ped signals. Would reduce rider confusion.

Just so we’re clear: when Trump & Republicans go after renewable energy what they’re really doing is forcing Americans to pay more on their energy bills. This move – to illegally stop a program that helps working families save $$ by installing solar panels – will do just that. nytimes.com/2025/08/05/clima…
