It’s a message one Maryland driver wanted to share with everybody on the road using a vanity license plate. But sometime after the plate was spotted in Bowley’s Quarters in Baltimore County, the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) yanked it. A photo of the DEPORTM plate, taken June 7, was shared with WYPR. MDOT declined a request for an interview about it but it confirmed that the plate is no longer on the vehicle. “This plate and several variations have been added to the ‘objectionable’ vanity license plate list,” according to a statement from MDOT. When someone requests a vanity...

Brice (picted right) whose attorney did not dispute his guilt, encountered the two elderly men peacefully standing and praying outside the abortion facility.

Remember when judges just followed the law? Those days seem long gone! Across America, liberal judges have been making up rules as they go along. They’ve blocked deportations, rewrote immigration policies, and acted like they run the country. But what happens when judges break the rules themselves? Who watches the watchmen? This question is now front and center as one group of federal judges faces something they never expected – being on the receiving end of a lawsuit! ... The Trump administration’s Department of Justice just dropped a bombshell. They sued all 15 federal district court judges in Maryland over...

In a sweeping ruling, the Supreme Court limited the ability of federal judges to block executive actions throughout the country through nationwide injunctions, greatly affecting how parties seek judicial relief going forward. The court’s 6-3 ruling Friday, with all six GOP-appointed justices in the majority, deals a significant blow to legal challenges against President Donald Trump’s extreme executive orders and other actions, many of which have been blocked or temporarily put on hold through nationwide injunctions. Nationwide, or universal, injunctions prevent the government from enforcing a law, regulation, or policy across the entire U.S. — not just against the specific...

Rep. Robert Garcia of California will take over as the top Democrat on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, signaling a shift toward younger leadership among his party. The ranking member position opened earlier this year when Virginia Rep. Gerald E. Connolly announced he would step down after his esophageal cancer returned. He died last month. Garcia sounded a conciliatory note after the Tuesday vote, praising the “incredible members” of the committee and its “incredible staff.” “We’re going to uplift their work and do everything we can to hold this administration accountable and focus on the corruption of Donald...

General Motors CEO Mary Barra has publicly cozied up to the Trump administration in recent months, including promoting a major investment in the United States last week, but her tenure at the company has included several examples of the company shipping production and jobs overseas. "I'm actually looking forward to working with the president and with the administration, because I think we can grow the importance of the auto industry and manufacturing, and so I think there's a lot that we have in common," Barra said about the incoming Trump administration in December 2024. This month, GM announced that it...

The recent terror case of a "gentle" third-grade teacher from the D.C. suburbs shows the danger is at once closer and harder to ID than you think. The enemy is hiding not in the shadows, but in plain sight, and may even wear a smile. Hundreds of Muslims last week flocked to a federal courtroom to show their support for the affable and soft-spoken Ali Asad Chandia of Maryland as he was sentenced to 15 years in prison for supporting terrorists. Friends say anti-Muslim prosecutors railroaded a "law-abiding" and "peaceful" brother. "He is a dedicated teacher," said one. "A great...

U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi announced his return and the indictment at a press conference at the Department of Justice. "This is what American justice looks like," Bondi said. She thanked Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele for agreeing to send Abrego Garcia back In recorded calls, reports of overcrowding and lack of food at ICE detention centers Bondi...

Thursday on CNN’s “The Arena,” Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) said that Tesla CEO Elon Musk “suddenly got a big dose of truth serum” while commenting on his disagreement with President Donald Trump. Host Kasie Hunt said, “What we are seeing play out right now between the President of the United States and the richest man in the world is unlike anything I think we’ve seen in politics.” Van Hollen said, “You’re absolutely right. It’s as if Elon Musk suddenly got a big dose of truth serum, and he’s letting it all pour out. And it is, I think, going...

A Maryland teen busted for allegedly breaking into 121 cars in a single night was ordered released within hours — and irate local police say more than a dozen more cars were looted the next day. The suspect — a 16-year-old boy — was arrested late last week by the Laurel Police Department after dozens of auto break-in reports came pouring into their office on the morning of May 4. The crimes spanned Laurel, surrounding part of Prince George’s County and nearby Howard County, with surveillance footage from across the area capturing a gang of three teens roving around in...

Former House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.) received a primary challenge Thursday from volunteer firefighter and former “Jeopardy!” contestant Harry Jarin, who is seeking to make age a centerpiece of the campaign. In a statement announcing his bid, Jarin, 35, said Hoyer, 85, “represents a bygone era of politics that isn’t working” and that congressional seats should not be treated as “lifetime appointments.” “I’ve seen from the inside how the Democratic Party has totally lost touch with working people,” Jarin said. “We didn’t present a vision of the future or politicians that people could relate to, and that’s what opened...

In the wake of a fatal January crash that killed 67 people and multiple collisions and other incidents, the Metropolitan Washington Airports Authority (MWAA) and DCA both made an announcement to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Pride in Washington, D.C. “Join the momentous celebrations as the nation’s capital is painted with pride, featuring a variety of events to inspire, empower and connect the international LGBTQ+ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer/questioning) community and their allies,” the...

Democrat Rep. Glenn Ivey (MD) fumed after he was denied access to wife beater and MS-13 gang member Kilmar Abrego Garcia. Rep. Ivey spent Memorial Day weekend in El Salvador fighting for a criminal illegal alien who was ordered deported by an immigration judge. An immigration appellate court also upheld the judge’s deportation order. Typical Democrat.

Senator Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) said Sunday on MSNBC’s “Ali Velshi” that the Trump administration was attempting to silence Congress and suspend the Constitution. When asked about the arrest of Newark Mayor Ras Baraka at the Delaney Hall Detention Center last week, Van Hollen said, “The assault that we’re witnessing right now is the Trump administration’s assault on the Constitution and due process rights, and in this case separation of powers and the ability of Congress to get the facts. We even had Stephen Miller, the other day, the president, one of his top advisers, talk about suspending the Constitution,...

A trio of House Democrats asked to be removed as co-sponsors of a resolution to impeach President Trump, a sign that many in the party do not want to go down the path of trying to remove the president from office — at least at the current moment. Reps. Kweisi Mfume (Md.), Robin Kelly (Ill.) and Jerry Nadler (N.Y.) had signed on as co-sponsors of Rep. Shri Thanedar’s (D-Mich.) impeachment resolution — which includes seven articles of impeachment — but Tuesday afternoon, they went to the House floor and asked for their names to be taken off the legislation. The...

When Charles Read went to renew his passport, he got a notification that there was a warrant out for his arrest. A woman named Katherine Jensen told police that Read (an ex boyfriend from 20 years ago) had kicked in her door and choked her out, trying to steal the keys to her truck, and when he was unsuccessful, he fled on foot. VIDEO AT LINK............. At first Charles Read thought someone was pulling his leg, but you can understand why he didn't notice -- because he's been paralyzed from the waist down for 25 years. But when Read tried...

Representative Jamie Raskin (D-MD) claimed Friday on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show” that Trump administration officials could be arrested for “interfering with a legal proceeding” or “kidnapping.” Raskin said, “I regard it very much within the prism of what we’ve been dealing with over the last month, which is an intense assault on judicial independence. They have been disobeying federal court orders systematically. They have incurred criminal contempt findings in the courtroom of Judge Boasberg, a conservative Republican, a judge. They have been demanding the impeachment of judges who rule against the lawlessness of the Trump administration. There are now...

Any Democrat capable of redemption has already repented. Thus, those who know the truth and still remain Democrats surely must work for Satan. For instance, according to a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement news release, earlier this month ICE agents arrested 23-year-old Guatemalan illegal immigrant Keycy Robinson Alexis Barrera-Rosa at the Charles County Sheriff’s Office in Maryland, then, on Friday, the CCSO charged Barrera-Rosa with murdering his 23-year-old girlfriend, Lesbia Mileth Ramirez-Guerra, mother of his two children. The charges came as Democrat Sen. Chris Van Hollen of Maryland visited El Salvadorian prison, where he met with Kilmar Abrego Garcia, the...
