The @pgcps Board of Education appreciates the outpouring of support for the Riverdale Elementary School families grieving the tragic loss of their children and for the school community that is processing this terrible tragedy.
@MRESPTO, Thank you for the urgent appeal to drivers to slow down, stop at signs and put the safety of children walking to school first. Municipal, County and State leaders are committed to working together on the many solutions for Safe Routes to Schools.
Our Mount Rainier Elementary community is devastated to learn about today's tragedy at Riverdale Elementary School and sending all our love and support. PGCPS is one big family - and we encourage everyone to hold your loved ones a bit closer.

Less than two decades ago I deployed to Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne Division.
Today, I want to share my thoughts on Memorial Day.

Thanks @ddiamond @washingtonpost for interviewing me re: coming end of WH task force & likely exit of @AshishKJha46 as czar. washingtonpost.com/politics/…
Just spoke to Ashish – he & team are hyper-focused on ensuring that Covid efforts (vax/drug access, vax research, etc) continue post-May.

Chilly morning, but it was great meeting with Riverdale Park residents, @DelegateATW & @RPMdMayor to discuss ways to address flooding. Stronger storms are a safety risk. We must prioritize stormwater management infrastructure & regulations. I look forward to working together!

Today, on the 58th anniversary of #BloodySunday, we remember and honor the bravery of those who were in Selma 58 years ago.
We must continue the fight for freedom, equality, and ensuring that all Americans have the right to vote. #Selma58

I've debated for a long time about being public with this, bc it's heavy & I still haven't come to terms with it. But I have a rare pre-COVID datapoint so will do it, hoping it helps people:
Right before I got COVID, I did neuro testing to see if I had ADHD.

This week the richest people in the world took common sense, easy- but strict- precautions to ensure they didn’t catch Covid-19.
After all, these are rich and important people. We don’t want them to get sick or get long covid. But everyone else…🤷🏽♂️

Marylanders, if you've been affected by flight cancellations and are making alternative plans to get home, keep your receipts and document everything.
Thank you to the staff at @BWI_Airport who have been working long hours trying to sort this out.

Multinational science Delphi:
- #COVID is airborne (100%);
- indoor areas drive transmission (100%);
- N95 masks help (96%);
- public health pushes false info by denying airborne (90%);
- vax alone can't end COVID (97%);
- false info undermines social cohesion for response (99%)

Back in April 2021, I wrote about what I had gotten wrong about COVID during the initial year of the pandemic.
One major thing: I initially thought masks wouldn’t help. That was wrong & they do. We can change our minds when the evidence is clear. washingtonpost.com/outlook/2…

"So the longer you can delay exposure to COVID, the more likely an exposure won’t result in infection due to improved vaccines or mitigation measures, and the more likely there will be a better treatment available if you do become infected." theconversation.com/covid-tr…
