I never forget what an honor it is to work among the incredible professionals who work inside @wbalradio@wbaltv11@98Rock I also never forget or take for granted the trust you place in all of us. We will not let you down Baltimore. We will get through this.
Saddened by the passing of Joe Foss, longtime executive with the Orioles, and a positive figure to so many other charitable organizations in the Baltimore region..Joe always had a smile on his face , and shepherded the Angelos family into the baseball business with the building of Camden Yards. RIP..
Happy 89th birthday to Warner Wolf. A DC native who invented modern sportscasting. Warner understood that sports are fun and made talking about them, entertaining. A number of greats followed in his footsteps
House Minority Whip Katherine Clark told Democrats during this morning’s whip meeting that the 11 members who missed yesterday’s vote on referring the Hegseth impeachment articles to committee had disappointed the American people, per a person in the room.
Clark acknowledged that full attendance wouldn’t have changed the outcome but stressed that members have a responsibility to show up for the people who elected them. She reiterated leadership’s expectation that Democrats be present for votes during the lame-duck session.
A second person told me Clark’s sentiment represented serveral rank-and-file members who were also frustrated by the attention the absences attracted online after the vote.
The Ravens are working out a group of free-agent kickers today, including Riley Patterson and Harrison Mevis, per @AdamSchefter.
This will mark the first time in the Ravens' 31-year history that they will have three kickers in a single season.
Before 2026, the last time Baltimore had two kickers attempt a field goal in the same season was 2011 (Billy Cundiff and Shayne Graham).
Ravens center Cam Jurgens is excited to see the leadership that recently acquired QB Jacoby Brissett can provide.
He said Brissett can bring a “steady voice.”
🚨JUST IN🚨
The White House has sent a warning letter to incoming House Oversight Committee chair Rep. Robert Garcia warning that some of the new Democratic majority’s investigations could cross into criminal behavior.
The letter, penned by WH counsel Will Scharf, seems to be taking an aggressive stance which likely means the White House intends on getting aggressive for Democratic oversight when they take the majority.
The letter asserts that the Democratic probes will be aimed at harassing the WH rather than serve any valid legislative end.
"We are monitoring the abusive and capricious threats that are now proliferating from Democrat legislators who seek to abuse the legislative process to intimidate and to interfere with the lawful functioning of government. Recent public statements underscore these concerns. You and your congressional colleagues have asserted that they will issue subpoenas to harass, threaten, and deter dedicated members of the Administration from further service."

RIP Richard Aurelio, journalist, political strategist, and longtime cable executive. He was the architect of NY1, the groundbreaking NYC cable news channel and whatever the Italian word for mensch is, who always had time for a reporter's questions. https://t.co/hu0TyoMm1T
"Thumann acknowledged broadcasters have First Amendment protections, but said the FCC can consider content when evaluating whether a licensee is meeting its public interest obligations."

Happy heavenly birthday to Jonathan Winters, born 101 years ago today in Dayton, Ohio.
If there were a Mount Rushmore for improvisational comedy, Winters would be on it. Robin Williams called him his “Comedy Buddha” and pushed to have him join the cast of Mork & Mindy.
Winters also created characters like Maude Frickert, the sharp-tongued old lady who inspired Johnny Carson’s Aunt Blabby.
Here’s his famous 1964 appearance with Jack Paar, who handed Winters a wooden stick and asked him to do something with it.

Today, I led 11 of my Senate colleagues in calling on House & Senate leadership to strip the upcoming defense bill of provisions that MANDATE defense & intelligence cooperation with Israel — including one advanced by Netanyahu himself.
This doesn’t make us safer, see why ⬇️
