As the first Black Rhodes Scholar in the history of @JohnsHopkins, I’m grateful for all this university has done to open doors for me. And I’m just as grateful for the work Hopkins does in Baltimore every day, from caring for families and supporting local organizations to providing jobs and education. Thank you for 150 years of service.

Earlier today, I learned that Chief George Bacorn of the Denton Police Department passed away following a motor vehicle collision. Chief Bacorn served as Chief for 36 years, as well as acting as the head of the MML Chiefs and Sheriffs Association this year. He embodied the meaning of serving others and dedicated his life to keeping communities safe for everyone. Denton, Caroline County, and all of Maryland is a better place because of his courage and public service. I have ordered the Maryland Flag lowered to half-staff and ask all of Maryland to join Dawn and I in praying for his family, the entire Denton Police Department, law enforcement colleagues, and community.

We can't keep waiting for the federal government to act. My executive order establishes a task force to review data center projects in Maryland and ensure that they’re protecting ratepayers, providing economic benefits, not harming our environment, and listening to local community voices.

The federal administration’s termination of Temporary Protected Status for Haitians is putting families across our Eastern Shore in an impossible position. These are parents, caregivers to our seniors, and poultry farm workers who help keep our communities running. Many have American children, who now face the prospect of separation from their families. Earlier this summer, I announced funding for immigration legal services to help these families understand their rights and legal options. You can learn more here: railsmd.org/

A lot of people hear "AI" and instantly worry about how it’ll affect their job or the threat it poses to their kids’ safety and future. That's exactly why we sat down and wrote actual guardrails for how AI gets used in Maryland so we can protect people's rights, protect our workers, and protect our kids.
