While @RepAndyHarrisMD continues to play politics in DC, communities on the Shore are stepping up to take care of one another & demand Congress fund SNAP. Yesterday, we deliver 653 pounds of food to the Eastern Shore Branch of the Maryland Food Bank.

680,000 Marylanders rely on SNAP to put food on the table, including: 120,000 older adults, 270,000 children and, 120,000 Marylanders with disabilities. The federal government is leaving them in limbo. But in Maryland, we protect our people.

We are approaching a dire point in our country. Yet Congressman Harris and his allies continue to hold our Federal Government hostage in an effort to end ACA subsidies and raise healthcare premiums on the Eastern Shore by over $13,100 a year.

. @RepAndyHarrisMD has now kept our Federal Government shutdown for over 5 weeks and refused to fund SNAP SNAP prevents hunger here, & with over $6 billion in a Department of Agriculture fund to continue SNAP benefits, there will be no benefits issued on Nov 1. (1 of 2)

The Baltimore Sun reports Mayor Randy Taylor plans to shut down Salisbury’s Housing First, a lifeline that gives people dignity, stability & a chance to rebuild. This program works. It saves lives and taxpayer dollars. Ending it is cruel & short-sighted. https://t.co/MtctozHizE

Salisbury’s Housing First program will end in 2027, leaving residents like Lisa Hawkins fearing a return to homelessness.

Trump’s latest delay stunt failed. A judge rejected his attempt to use the shutdown to stall the US Wind lawsuit. BOEM has never revoked a permit once granted, and Trump already failed to stop Empire, Vineyard, and Revolution Wind. He’ll fail here too. https://t.co/CUuyAjv9cY

WBOC has learned the Trump Administration on Thursday filed a motion to stay an ongoing lawsuit against them and offshore energy company US Wind, arguing the current government shutdown has

Now it is time for Democratic leadership to respect the will of the voters and protect our democracy by getting behind the Progressive nominee for Mayor of New York.

Too often, leadership has tried to throw a bone to our left flank without really respecting the voters who power this movement.

Whether it was voting to pass the Affordable Care Act or backing nominees we didn’t fully agree with, Progressives have constantly compromised to get things done.

We are proud of the Progressive Leadership that our Senator @ChrisVanHollen showed when he called out the spineless politics of Democratic leadership who still have not gotten behind @ZohranKMamdani.

We are excited to watch you lose in court, but we are even more excited about the jobs and cheaper energy that will come to our region after this little stunt fails.
Maryland’s Eastern Shore is not a testing ground for green energy experiments. I thank the White House and DOT for standing with our community, defending our coastline, and working to terminate these reckless offshore wind projects once and for all. https://t.co/pVD0Kb6Mr5

For Eastern Shore residents, the promise of steady work and lower electricity bills is a rare opportunity in a region often left behind in statewide economic growth. Shore Progress, a grassroots progressive organization, vowed to defend the project. https://t.co/YqvKOnL8tN

Well we found Mayor Meehan’s burner account. As much as you might wish that was true. The data doesn’t lie: https://t.co/Tf3SzIhJDP
@LowerShoreProg Everyone on the Eastern Shore hates it too other than those who will profit financially from it. Oh and offshore wind isn't reliable. It requires fossil fuel backup.

Fun Fact: Every Delegate celebrating this new desperate delay tactic on this press release is on the Western Shore. The illegal stunt that outsiders and oil/gas lobbyists run will fail in court. We will have reliable wind energy and good jobs on the Shore.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: The Maryland Freedom Caucus applauds the Trump Administration's halting of the US Wind project, after the hard-fought advocacy of our lone Republican Congressman and champion of sanity, @RepAndyHarrisMD.

This stunt with US Wind’s permits isn’t about protecting the Shore, it’s about protecting fossil fuel donors. Offshore wind went through years of review, creates thousands of jobs, and will lower bills. This baseless lawsuit is just a delay tactic, and it will fail.
Rushed offshore wind projects are a threat to Maryland’s coast, our watermen, and your electric bill. President Trump is standing up for the Eastern Shore—putting a stop to these reckless projects and putting Maryland families first.

Trump’s illegal stunt to yank US Wind’s permits isn’t about the Shore, it’s about his fossil fuel donors. @GovWesMoore is right: this desperate attempt to hurt this project is shortsighted. Offshore wind = $1B investment, thousands of jobs & lower bills https://t.co/r4APgm4jLp

Maryland Governor Wes Moore has released a statement on the latest development in the ongoing legal battle over US Wind’s proposed offshore wind farm project that would put over 100

Andy Harris is cheering on latest stunt to kill offshore wind. Here are the facts. The BOEM has never yanked a permit after approval. If they try, it goes straight to court and Courts smack down political games like this. This lawsuit will fail. Offshore wind is here to stay.
I commend Attorney General Bondi and the Trump Administration for stepping in, listening to our concerns, and taking the necessary steps to withdraw this deeply flawed offshore wind project.

Trump’s latest stunt to yank US Wind’s permits is a baseless attack that will fail. He already tried to stop Empire Wind & Vineyard Wind, and lost. These permits are legally sound. Offshore wind means jobs, clean energy & lower bills. Trump can’t stop it https://t.co/864wJymA1f

The Trump Administration has announced its intent to withdraw approval of US Wind’s planned wind farm off the shores of Worcester and Sussex Counties, according to court documents acquired by
