Assisted living conditions forum: The Democratic Club will not be having its regular February meeting tomorrow. However, we are working jointly with the Progressive Club on their very important and timely program on Saturday, Feb. 17: Panel Discussion of Assisted Living Conditions and Oversight in Maryland at 1pm in the Crystal Ballroom.

According to The Washington Post’s investigation, neglect in America’s assisted-living industry is common. What are conditions like in assisted living facilities in Maryland? The forum speakers will be Tammy Bresnahan, AARP Senior Associate State Director of Advocacy, and our own Delegate Bonnie Cullison, Vice-Chair, Health and Government Operations Committee.

Can’t come in person? You can watch the meeting on zoom and post questions at: bit.ly/dclw-02-17.

Humor you can’t make up

 “Do you miss me now?” Tweet from disgraced ex-Rep. George Santos (R-NY) to his former colleagues minutes after they narrowly failed to impeach Secretary Myorkas yesterday. The Republican clown show continues.
