I want all of my tax dollars back. Every single penny for a race he knew he could never win. To work out a deal now. 2 weeks b4 Election Day. It pisses me off. EVERY SINGLE CAMPAIGN TAX DOLLAR returned.

Down go the Yankees again. Gotta love Rodriguez and Kremer meeting the challenge the last two nites and our next-man-up bullpen . #Birdland

Tom Cotton likes to cite violent crime in Baltimore and Philadelphia, but Little Rock — the biggest city in Cotton’s state — is the nation’s 5th most dangerous metro area. Baltimore and Philly aren’t in the top 25.
Why doesn’t Cotton fight Arkansas crime? realestate.usnews.com/places/ranking…

Colton Coweser needs the Sharp Street Bike Lane extension! Keep our boys safe!

Baby Birds come through! Gunnar Henderson with a leadoff HR and Grayson Rodriguez pitches 5.2 shutout innings to beat the Yankees. O's now 18-10 and tied for 1st in the AL East. Got to love it #Birdland

Labor money is flowing into a pro-Brandon Scott PAC that has been very quiet until recently. (All of these unions endorsed Scott.) The PAC has spent $50,000 spent so far on online ads and $60,000 in 'visibility expenses.'

Another $155,000 has been pumped into the PAC supporting Baltimore mayoral candidate Sheila Dixon -- $50,000 each from David Smith, John Luetkemeyer and Alex Smith. The PAC spent $32,000 on radio ads last week.

“I love Baltimore and I love that it’s diverse,” she says. “It’s a beautiful place and it has a lot of people who are really kind. I don’t want to live anywhere else.”

Workers Memorial Day and wreath-laying remembrance of those lost in the Key Bridge tragedy at Middle Branch Park today. Among those in attendance⁦⁦⁩ ⁦⁦⁦Maryland State and DC AFL-CIO⁩ president Courtney Jenkins⁩ ⁦Brandon M. Scott⁩ ⁦Zeke Cohen ⁦CASA⁩ 🙏

Got to ⁦Camden Yards an hour and a half before the scheduled first pitch and not the only one who biked here in a little rain. Were going to get this in #Birdland ⁦Baltimore Bike Birds⁩

O's fighting to win the AL East and need to field their best lineup. A win or loss in April or May counts same as September. Holliday got a taste of big-league pitching and he'll be back. (Do Mayo or Norby deserve a shot in his place rather than McKenna? That's another story.)

I asked Joseph E. Stiglitz, longtime Columbia University scholar and Nobel-winning economist, what the establishment doesn’t understand about what campus protesters are trying to say.

In 20 yrs as a journalist, I've met incredibly resilient individuals, none more courageous and steadfast than this Afghan woman—now set to graduate from the University of Baltimore School of Law—who fled her native country because she feared for her life.

U.S. campus protests more reminiscent of 1980s apartheid/divestment movement: 'Students occupied campus buildings at Harvard, Boston College, Colgate, Stanford, Princeton and Rutgers. At UCLA, 50 to 75 students plan to spend the night in Murphy Hall.'
