I'm excited to have a LTE about the #HHS' cuts to #NIH and #FDA published in the @BaltimoreBanner: https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/opinion/letters/science-research-investment-cuts-FO3ANCSMEJHIHCBN6ZRFT7LWSY/

If you are in #Maryland, please share with our Senators Van Hollen and Alsobrooks and Rep McClain-Delaney

Ruppert #landscape is growing fast and hiring in many branches. I know a lot of folks are looking for something. I would suggest going to the website. Great company based in #maryland

Live in USA? The time to go solar is NOW.

If you have roof or ground space, you're going to want to use it. Electric rates are skyrocketing. I've had solar since 2017, so I didn't realize how high the rates are here in MD.

You don't need a wad of cash either. With the utility rates this high, even a zero-down loan or lease-to-own program can put you ahead.

Lastly, if you don't have space for solar, look into your local community solar projects and see if you can get a share.

The anti-climate idiots will try to get rid of the tax credit. So start researching now. EnergySage is a good start to help avoid scam installers. If you're local to WV panhandle, MD, PA or VA, the company I work for has exceptional ratings.

PS: Have gas or oil heating? Get a high efficiency heat pump (there are often programs to assist with the cost). You can't make gas, but you can make electricity!!

Sen. #ChrisVanHollen on Meeting #KilmarAbregoGarcía in #ElSalvador & Escalating #Coup situation

#SCOTUS this week:

The debate over #Religious #freedom & #ParentalRights is back at the #SupremeCourt.

Justices will consider whether #PublicSchools can stop parents removing students from lessons using #LGBTQ+ themed #books. The issue has divided a #Maryland community.

Justices will weigh the future of #free #PreventiveCare today.

And #police officers who joined the rally before the #Jan6, 2021, #insurrection asked justices for anonymity.

Not the traditional Easter dinner but decided it’s time for a change! Crab cakes and crab soup were a big hit! And they left me enough to share leftovers with a friend

In 1997, #SamuelSheinbein bludgeoned a teenager to death and dismembered his body with an electric saw in #Maryland. Afterwards, #Sheinbein fled to #Israel, where he received #Israeli citizenship via his father, who had emigrated from Israel at age six in 1950, and was granted immunity from extradition.

Spotted my first #hummingbird of the season. iPhone doesn’t do justice but since I ran and got my camera… he hasn’t come back.

Black and Hispanic mothers pay significantly more out of pocket costs for having a child than White mothers. And then the right wonders why so many women get abortions. https://www.wmar2news.com/homepage-showcase/the-price-of-pregnancy-new-study-examines-what-race-has-to-do-with-maternity-costs #Maryland #Science #BlackLivesMatter

In Leonardtown (MD), two teens, 14 and 17, were charged in conjunction with a shooting in that town. A man was found with a gunshot wound to his face. The teens were charged with Attempted Murder, Assault, Armed Criminal Action, and Unlawful Possession of a Firearm. The NRA owns this. #Maryland #GunControlNow https://www.wmar2news.com/local/two-teens-charged-as-adults-after-allegedly-shooting-man-in-the-face

On Saturday, in #Baltimore, police arrested a serial rapist with a gun who was looking for rape and robbery targets in broad daylight. The NRA owns this. #Maryland #GunControlNow https://www.wmar2news.com/local/arrest-in-robbery-attempted-rape-at-howard-street-business

This was pretty late in the event, there were even more people here earlier

Good job, everyone

I did not know this about Coach Lee Corso with ESPN College GameDay. Gift link via the Washington Post:

"I said: 'Coach, you must have forgotten what conference you’re playing in. The ACC is a segregated conference. You know, in their bylaws, no Negroes!' Corso said, 'Well, that’s the point.'"
