Raskin, a Montgomery County Democrat, said in a tweet Sunday that his resolution asks Pence to “mobilize the Cabinet to state the obvious — President Trump is unable to successfully discharge the duties of office.”
Maryland’s two U.S. Senators, Chris Van Hollen (D) and Ben Cardin (D), are both safe after protestors broke into the U.S. Capitol Wednesday afternoon, according to spokespeople for the officials. The Republican enablers who encouraged @POTUS and this insurrection must actively work to calm the crowds and restore order. Words matter and the incendiary language […]

Blair Senior Wins Congressional App Challenge A Montgomery Blair senior won U.S. Rep. Jamie Raskin’s 2020 Congressional App Challenge. Kevin Xu, along with teammate Leon Si, a junior at Victoria Park Collegiate Institute in Toronto, Canada, created a free virtual whiteboard app that is designed to improve virtual learning for teachers and students. The teenagers designed Tabulo, which connects a mobile device to a computer and turns it into a drawing pad that enables users to draw or write on their phones. Their designs and writings are synced to the computer in real-time. The students saw the need for teachers to use a whiteboard like they do in the physical classrooms. Without Tabulo, they have to use a computer mouse, which is limiting, according to the students.
