This is another of those projects that's already decades into never-ending studies.
We have to break out of this do-nothing loop and figure out how to go from idea to construction inside of one governor's term.
Southern Maryland could finally get the rail connection it has needed for decades.
The proposed SMRT light rail line would connect Waldorf to Metro’s Green Line at Branch Avenue with:
• 18.7 miles of rail
• 13 stations
• Stops at Joint Base Andrews and Southern Maryland Hospital
• Service through Prince George’s and Charles counties
The corridor was projected to reach nearly 550,000 residents by 2040, while Charles County commuters already spend hundreds of hours every year traveling to and from work.
This region is growing. Its transit system should grow with it.

Mark Zuckerberg’s Instagram suspended the No Kings Instagram account for today’s No Kings' day of action.
Larry Ellison’s TikTok has shut down the account promoting Alex Gibney’s Elon Musk documentary.
Elon Musk promoted the fake story about James Talarico on his X while donating over $150 million to help Ken Paxton.
Your reminder that Trump’s billionaire allies control what you see on TikTok, X, Twitch, Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and YouTube — and they have a vested interest in making sure Dems don’t take the majority, so Trump isn’t investigated.

Dozens of masked Israeli settlers attacked Palestinian villagers trying to gather their autumn olive harvest. Heidi Levine, a veteran photographer for The Post, was also knocked her to the ground, kicked repeatedly and stripped of her camera and phone.

How does democracy function when one person can donate $150 million for 1 Senate race? In a state where one of his companies has major facilities?

Andy Harris can’t quit embarrassing himself, this time claiming his constituents he scolded were “bussed in” from New Jersey. #MD01

I heard y’all loud and clear: We’ve got to do something about the rats!
My team and I are preparing to tackle this problem head-on, because we deserve safe and clean streets.

This is how you do transit oriented development 💪
BIG PLANS FOR NORTH BETHESDA.
Metro is moving toward a deal with Hines to transform 13.9 acres beside the Red Line into “The Nexus,” a massive transit-oriented district featuring:
• A new north Metro entrance
• 2+ million square feet
• 809 homes
• 930,000 square feet of life-science space
• 100,000 square feet of retail and commercial space
• The @UofMaryland Institute for Health Computing
Nearly $119 million in public funding has been identified for infrastructure, the station entrance and the institute.
This is how you turn a Metro station into an economic engine.

This is not how someone acts when they think they won the debate... #MD01
