Maryland Gov. Wes Moore, who holds a commanding lead in polls for his re-election bid, is shifting his ad spending to Question 3 -- which could enable a Dem gerrymander of congressional districts, if passed.
His latest pro-Question 3 ad is on air in DC with a $700K buy.

HO CHI MINH CITY, Vietnam - Deported after decades in Maryland, Melissa Tran had to rebuild her life in a country she last knew as a child.

This story from @SapnaBansil illustrates the irreparable harm being done to American families and American children by ICE and the Trump administration. A Hagerstown family now lives 9,000 miles apart.
It’s cruel and senseless, and we should be pissed off every single day.
