Former Baltimore City State’s Attorney Marilyn Mosby has applied for a presidential pardon ahead of her upcoming sentencing on perjury and mortgage fraud convictions, according to a letter sent to President Joe Biden by the Congressional Black Caucus on Thursday.

The verdict came about three months after another jury convicted the once-high-profile prosecutor on...

The plaintiffs, three pairs of parents who sued Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS), argued that...

But the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals denied their request for a preliminary injunction 2-1 as the parents failed to show how the policy would infringe their rights...

Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) penned a letter to CEOs of eight energy companies and an oil lobbying group that reportedly attended a dinner at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago resort with the former president last month.

Juan Dominguez, a West Point graduate and Gulf War veteran, is unhappy about the VoteVets political action committee’s decision to endorse former U.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn. Unlike Dominguez and at least two other candidates in the crowded Democratic primary race for Maryland’s 3rd Congressional District, Dunn is not a military veteran. VoteVets describes itself as a progressive political action committee that “endorses veterans and national security professionals” who champion “everyday issues that affect the lives of those who served, their families, and the country.” In a phone interview with Blaze Media, Dominguez shared his frustrations with VoteVets’ endorsement...

Former Baltimore DA Marilyn Mosby could be about to lose her Florida vacation condo - the same property she was found to have bought fraudulently, days after revealing she plans to ask for a presidential pardon to avoid a lengthy jail term. Mosby, 44, bought the property in February 2021 for $476,000 but the feds are now looking to seize it and sell the place. If there are profits from the sale, Mosby would get back her original $47,600 down payment, prosecutors have stated.

Uh, we’re not planning to go there,” he said.

The Los Angeles Times editorial board has endorsed Rep. Adam Schiff (D-Burbank) in the highly competitive race to be California’s next senator. With the growing possibility of Trump securing the GOP presidential nomination, the Times board argued that Schiff is needed in the Senate now more than ever. “Given the increasingly authoritarian statements from Donald Trump, the possibility he could return to the White House and the Republican Party’s lockstep loyalty to him, the Senate needs Schiff, a battle-tested and thoughtful leader who has demonstrated he can rise to the moment,” they wrote. Schiff’s appointment to those critical roles shows...

Journalist Paul Sperry is not going quietly into the night — as we reported, he’s been calling out the effort by Rep. Adam Schiff’s office to silence him, to get him suspended from Twitter as well as to shut down his reporting about things that Schiff didn’t want to be exposed.

It was Eric Ciaramella, a Democrat who had worked in the Trump White House as an Obama holdover. I also exposed Ciaramella’s prior relationship with one of Schiff’s top staffers on the impeachment...

‘Ambitious’ Limited Access Channel Opens Less than a month after the Dali rammed a pillar of Baltimore’s Francis Scott Key Bridge causing it to collapse, a portion of the federal channel has been opened to deep draft ships. The opening of the 35-foot-deep Limited Access Channel allowed the departure of some of the ships trapped in Baltimore Harbor.
