This Diwali, I send all my best wishes to people celebrating in Maryland and around the world. May you and your families experience the renewal that comes with hope-filled new beginnings and this is a great season for it!
Rockville’s gun buyback program is achieving astonishing results, improving public safety for everyone. These numbers are amazing! Thanks to Mayor Monique Ashton, the Rockville Council and Police Department and all the people of Rockville for your vision.
MoCo, together we can improve public safety in all our communities. Thank you today to the Rockville City Police Department for hosting this important and always successful event.
Rockville City Police Department's Gun Buyback returns this Saturday, Nov. 7, from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. at RedGate Park. Turn in your gun and receive a gift card up to $200, no questions asked. This is a drive-up event. More details and FAQs at rockvillemd.gov/gunbuyback.
To mark the week of Veteran's Day, our MD-08 Local Hero is the gifted Dr. Wesley Campbell. Dr. Campbell has had a public-spirited career serving soldiers in the military and diplomatic personnel in the State Department, complete with two deployments in Iraq. We honor him for his remarkable work across the government and for handling our government's most complex infectious disease cases. youtube.com/watch?v=L50YCt5V…

NEW: Congressman Jamie Raskin says no one, not even Trump's family, is off-limits for the Judiciary Committee.
"The whole thing is a money-making operation."

I asked Congressman Jamie Raskin if people like Harmeet Dhillon resigning means they are safe from the Judiciary Committee.
He says, plain and simple, no.
"We have the authority to subpoena any American citizen."
Rep. Jamie Raskin retweeted
NEW: Congressman Jamie Raskin doesn't mince words about whether Democrats should pursue accountability or affordability.
He says it's the exact same thing: "corrupt government is government serving the people . . . who seized the power of government."
Rep. Jamie Raskin retweeted
🔥 @RepRaskin: “Accountability vs. Affordability is a false dichotomy— they’re the same thing.”
Raskin points out Trump’s corruption and pointless war is why things are expensive, so Dems holding corruption accountable and addressing affordability is not an either/or, it’s BOTH.
Rep. Jamie Raskin retweeted
It's time to restore the rule of law in America and end all the presidential lawlessness. Trump’s DOJ is responsible for:
-Covering up the murders of Alex Pretti and Renée Good by DHS agents
-Trying to indict and prosecute dozens of innocent Americans to cover up for Trump’s own massive crimes and policy debacles
-Granting the Trump family a SUPER pardon while trying to set up a $1.776 billion slush fund for violent insurrectionists and partisan foot soldiers
Accountability is coming.
House Democrats are in the fight to bring government back from the brink of authoritarianism. We will shine a light on President Trump's quid pro quo, coin-operated, pay-to-play corruption and renew American government as an instrument for the common good.

Trump's executive branch is "a coin-operated get-rich-quick scheme.." for the President and his "sycophantic... clones" @RepRaskin

While Trump and his cronies pocket billions of dollars, American families are paying the price for all the corruption.
From dragging Americans into an illegal war that has cost us billions at the gas and diesel pump to destroying small businesses and taxing our families thousands of dollars a year with illegal tariffs, Americans have been paying through the nose while Trump’s family and businesses rake in billions.
America has overwhelmingly elected a Congress to stand up for the interests and values of the American people, not kneel before a mad wannabe king, his oligarch puppeteers and Putin’s imperialist army.
Rep. Jamie Raskin retweeted
America has spoken.
Now it’s time to get to work putting the American people and the Constitution back at the heart of our government.
A new birth for the Raskin family, and a new birth for democracy, freedom and social progress in America.
Rep. Jamie Raskin retweeted
House Judiciary Democrats are prepared to put an end to the rampant and out-of-control corruption overflowing the Trump swamp.
Through investigations and legislation we will work to expose, counter and dismantle the grift and the graft, the ongoing corruption of government and the outrageous destruction of the rule of law.
We will be unflinching in our defense of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
