Secretary Buttigieg clearly understood the impacts of divided communities and described how he wants to help reunite communities across the country where possible. The “Highway to Nowhere”assuredly remains a very real priority for me.
We focused on how the law affects Baltimore and my sincere concern with doing away with Baltimore’s “Highway to Nowhere” in a community divided for decades.
It was good to sit down and talk with U.S. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (@SecretaryPete) about the bipartisan infrastructure law passed by Congress.
Yesterday, I spoke with Kate Amara (@kateamaraWBAL) about the need for gun reform in America in light of the repeated madness of mass shootings. Thank you, @kateamaraWBAL, for covering this important issue.

This bill would offer a first step towards reforming a policing system that is too often failing our nation and unjustly killing Americans like George Floyd. #RIPGeorgeFloyd #GeorgeFloyd #JusticeInPolicing
The Senate must pass the George Floyd Justice in Policing Act of 2021 that has been passed by the House twice at this point. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=On0X6rSZFjg
While his killer may be sentenced, there is still an overwhelming need in this country for police reform to uphold one of our nation’s most significant values: justice.
“This was not an arrest, this was murder. It was the murder of George Floyd.” (May 2020, U.S. House Floor Speech)
Today marks two years since the tragic and horrific killing of George Floyd. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMp3Iz53XPg
I continue to urge immediate action in Congress on gun reform that would stop these vicious murderers from stealing any more innocent lives.
My prayers go out tonight to the families of these innocent victims. Almost ten years after Sandy Hook, even more families will never be the same.
