This 530-foot span connects Odenton to Bowie, creating 12.7 miles of continuous trail. A major milestone for Central Maryland and the East Coast Greenway — now 76% complete in the region.

The bridge is ready.
After decades of planning, advocacy, design and construction, the WB&A Trail Bridge over the Patuxent River is open! This new, 530-foot-long bike and pedestrian bridge links two previously isolated segments of the WB&A Trail from Odenton to Bowie, creating 12.7 miles of a continuous WB&A Trail across Central Maryland.

Just wild seeing cabinet officials casually set fire to any intellectual credibility they could possibly have.
No, we cannot eliminate a $1.8 trillion deficit with just tariffs & Social Security fraud reforms. Open a CBO or OMB spreadsheet. Talk to any economist. Read a book. Even an article.

Lutnick promises that Trump will balance the budget, then says: "Think about this -- we got $4 trillion in entitlements! And no one has ever cut it ... everybody whose grandfather died and is still getting Social Security? Give me a break."

Iowa just made history—for all the wrong reasons.
It’s the first state to remove civil rights protections from a previously protected class, stripping trans people of basic rights.
This is what happens when religious extremism drives policy.
