In my state of Maryland, climate change is causing more intense summer droughts and saltwater intrusion.

We're looking at more and more innovated recycling--water recycling projects in Maryland as in other parts of the country.

I have been very concerned with the way the Netanyahu government has conducted the war in Gaza.

What are we going to do to make sure that we achieve the goal not only of normalization--I heard the conversation--but that, as you said, has to be paired with a Palestinian state and a time line.

I mean, formally announced during George W. Bush's administration, so over two decades--and despite the fact that we say those words, we have never addressed our policy to use our influence to make it happen.
