NEW INVESTIGATION 🚍:

Baltimore City is the only district in the state that doesn't offer most students a yellow bus ride after elementary school.

I asked Maryland voters what they thought about the state’s mail ballot blunder. Their answers unsurprisingly split along party lines.

Bowie State University raised nearly $130 million in recent years, including $75 million from MacKenzie Scott. It’s also conducting staff layoffs + potentially laying off tenured faculty, 86% of whom voted no confidence in the president.

James Wood’s inside-the-park grand slam gave the Nationals a much-needed jolt in Tuesday’s win.

New: President Trump will NOT speak at the U.S. Naval Academy's graduation ceremony this Friday, breaking tradition. Dan Caine, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, will speak instead. The USNA made the announcement unusually late:

More broadly across the entire forecast area, early season heat will be the concern, with afternoon high temperatures expected to reach the low to mid 90s for most. The message is to stay hydrated and don't overexert in outdoor work/activities. (2/2)

The kids are making sack instagrams.
The stores are selling out.

My @Slate story on how snails helped block an ICE detention center in Maryland inspired this delightful blog post from snail expert Rob Dillon. He went looking for the rare snails I wrote about (and very gently poked fun at my amateur snail seeking): https://t.co/p81Pdjh7eq

Pittsburgh got fleeced. Taking on an aging star without any draft picks in return is insanity.

Reading scores, 3rd graders to 8th graders, 2015 to 2025. This is a national tragedy.

NEW @YahooSports:

If last night was truly LeBron James’ final game as a Laker, he’ll walk away knowing he had a Hall of Fame career *based solely on his 8 Lakers years.*

LeBron has now stacked 4 HOF careers, and I shared all the data to prove it: https://t.co/UavEYBP5Hd
