It bears repeating that no fake OR illegal mail-in ballots were distributed. The wording in President Trump's continued posts about Maryland's elections creates an environment of misinformation on a voting right. Mail-in voting is not a partisan issue. Mail-in voting is legal.

Grief is crazy. I just heard “Stand By Me” and instantly started remembering all the moments I danced with my grandmother. Mannnn, I miss ole girl.

The reopening of Parkview Recreation Center represents real investment in Penn North and West Baltimore, rebuilding long-disinvested spaces, 50+ new homeownership opportunities, welcoming the future home of Charm City TV, and strengthening the community for future generations.

This is the Baltimore they don't want you to see:

A state-of-the-art rec center in West Baltimore, a community that's been disinvested in for generations.

Baltimore deserves a transparent, thorough process. Contact the Council President’s office and ask: Why the rush? 2/2

[James Torrence @JamesTorrenceJD]

Rushed Process. Unanswered Questions.

Yesterday, the Council advanced the Charter Bill to 3rd reader after moving it to 2nd the same day. I asked: why the rush with at least 5 meetings left before July and concerns unresolved?

NO ANSWER. 1/2

[Reservoir Hill Association @RHANeighbors]

Reservoir Hill answered the call! 📞🧹 Huge thanks to everyone who came out for the Mayor’s Spring Cleanup.

Shout-out to Melda, Rolando, Amaka, & our Block Champions for the coordination! 🙌 Special thanks to the Moon family & @JamesTorrenceJD for the support. #ReservoirHill

The MPSSAA officially sanctioned girls flag football as Maryland's 26th state championship sport. Maryland's girls flag football moment is here 🖤💜

Tune into the @NFL Draft on @NFLNetwork, @ABC & @ESPN.

[Jonas Shaffer @jonas_shaffer]

Welcome to Baltimore, Vega Ioane. The Ravens get one of the cleanest prospects in the class — and turn down the chance to draft Rueben Bain.

His 2025, per PFF:

311 pass block snaps
0 sacks allowed
0 hits allowed
4 hurries allowed

And many pancakes.

Justice Jackson is sole member of #SCOTUS not to join Justice Thomas' opinion in a Louisiana environmental case involving Chevron. As is often the case when she goes it alone, it has to do with her reading of legislative history and congressional intent. Doing her best to keep the dying ember of purposivism alive on an originalist court.

[Morgan State University @MorganStateU]

Did you know that Morgan State University is home to a civil rights museum in the heart of Baltimore?

The Lillie Carroll Jackson Civil Rights Museum preserves the powerful legacy of Lillie May Carroll Jackson and her allies.

Hear from Dr. Iris Leigh Barnes, Associate Director and Curator of the Lillie Carroll Jackson Civil Rights Museum, as she talks about the significance of the museum.

Honored to speak at the ribbon cutting for The Carver House where students from 10 Baltimore City high schools, alongside the Requity Foundation, transformed a vacant West Baltimore house into a high-performing home.

As a proud Carver Bear, this one hit home!

March 29, 1996. The day we became the Baltimore Ravens.

After the first 30 years of Ravens football, it’s time for The Next Flight.

Our neighbors need you! If you’re able, please pick up a shovel and help an elderly neighbor clear snow and stay safe. Small acts of community can make a big difference.

Please sign up to join the Baltimore Snow Corps.

Happy snow day, Baltimore! Hope everyone had a slow morning, enjoyed the weather and took care of each other. Thank you to everyone working to clean up and keep the city moving.

[James Torrence @JamesTorrenceJD]

Same position. Same type of playoff losses. One gets blame, the other gets benefit of the doubt. Very different grace! Josh had no excuses with Lamar and Patty out.

[James Torrence @JamesTorrenceJD]

Nothing warms my heart quite like Steelers fans heading for the exits early… while booing their own team 😈🫡

[Mina Kimes @minakimes]

I don't even know what you say about the Ravens at this point, man. If it isn't one thing it's another.
