Maryland will not use state funds to pay for SNAP if payments stop on Nov. 1

Delegate Ryan Spiegel @ryanspiegel.bsky.social · 6d

Federal SNAP benefits will cease on Nov. 1 because Trump is refusing to tap into billions in existing reserves, choosing instead to cruelly politicize the feeding of hungry Americans. In Maryland, ~700K people rely on SNAP, including ~270K children & 122K seniors. www.wypr.org/wypr-news/20...

The federal shutdown is causing SNAP benefits to halt.

As the House Appropriations Committee is touring the area in Western Maryland devastated by flooding, the Trump administration has announced that it is denying the appeal for FEMA funding. Why? Because we are a “blue state” even though the affected area is mostly Republican. Despicable.

Maryland Democrats say Freedom Caucus head called out Gov. Moore with racist name calling

Delegate Ryan Spiegel @ryanspiegel.bsky.social · Aug 22

The racism and condescension of Maryland's so-called "Freedom Caucus" (extremist MAGA members of our General Assembly) strikes again, this time targeting Maryland's first Black Governor as a "ghetto governor." Disgusting. www.delmarvanow.com/story/news/l... @mdhousedems.bsky.social

In an Aug. 21 post on X, Maryland Freedom Caucus State Director Ali Rak labeled Maryland Gov. Wes Moore a "Ghetto Governor."
