I am saddened to learn of the passing of Marlene Greenebaum. Marlene was a devoted member of the Baltimore community who constantly and generously brought life to life.

baltimoresun.com/news/obituarie…
After a battle with cancer, Marlene dedicated herself to ensuring that everyone in Baltimore had access to cancer care regardless of their zip code or wealth.
In 1996, Marlene and her husband Stewart donated a record $10 million to the University of Maryland’s cancer center, which is now named the University of Maryland Marlene and Stewart Greenebaum Comprehensive Cancer Center in their honor.
Marlene dedicated her life not only to fighting cancer, but also to uplifting the young people in our community.
Marlene and Stewart joined me over 20 years ago in founding the Elijah Cummings Youth Program, which has strengthened the bonds between youth in Israel and African American children in the 7th Congressional District of Maryland.
My thoughts and prayers are with Marlene's family and friends as they mourn her passing.

I am humbled and honored to be the next Chairman of the primary investigative body of Congress.
The American people spoke clearly in this election. They voted for the checks and balances that are mandated by the Constitution, and they voted for greater transparency and accountability in government.
My priority will be to restore rigorous, responsible, and fact-based oversight while focusing on issues that affect the American people every single day.

The only thing we learned today is that "voter fraud" is a myth & this Commission is suppressing the vote.
This commission regularly promotes unsubstantiated claims about "voter fraud" that undermine our democracy. nyti.ms/2xVrsED
Why is the #ShamVotingCommission considering background checks on voters? Voting is a right, not a crime. kansascity.com/news/politics-…

Joel Fitzgerald is a corner-clearing, broken windows devotee. It’s what he knows and believes in.
Joel Fitzgerald lacks adequate respect for the divide between the people and BPD, and the resistance to change within BPD. He also lacks experience leading in a place with these problems, or a department of this size.
Joel Fitzgerald refused to even loosely define success or a timeline for achievement when I asked him to. He laughed, shrugged, and told me to google him.

Listen to #Bagman if you haven't yet. It's great! Those who have know the Md USAtty who green-lighted prosecutors' work on the Agnew case was George Beall. As @Maddow explains, when Beall died in 2017, Rod Rosenstein honored him with a glowing and revealing tribute. Here it is:1/
"George Beall was a legendary federal prosecutor, an exemplary public servant and a lawyer of unsurpassed integrity... Although George Beall's family was politically active & Vice President agnew was a member of Beall's own political party, Beall did not hesitate to pursue 2/
the case. His commitment to justice serves as an example to us all." Rod Rosenstein, quoted, on January 17, 2017, in praise of the late USAtty George Beall, who according to Agnew prosecutor Ron Leibman,"never batted an eye when we presented the case." baltimoresun.com/news/obituarie…

In 2012 - informed by my observations in Baltimore - I critiqued the popular lament of whether working moms can “have it all” & argued that a true feminist agenda that is responsive to the needs of women of color must include issues like transportation equity.
Here’s the piece I wrote in 2012 in response to the “Lean In” phenomenon in which I talk about the urgent transportation equity needs of working moms of color. beaconbroadside.com/broadside/2012…

"Students were willing to walk out, to let go of whatever test or project they had and put their energy towards the protection of their friends," said Cassius Comfort, a senior at Friends School.
