The irony of Republicans controlling all branches of government while
bankrupting the country, starting a war, sending money to fraudulent programs, violating the Constitution, giving corporations immunity...
but arguing that the biggest problem we have is “stolen elections.”
I’ve resigned from The Baltimore Sun after 25 years of politics and sports reporting. I was proud to have been there during a long period when our reporting followed the facts wherever they happened to lead. I’m not saying anything readers can’t see for themselves, but The Sun has changed since its purchase by David Smith, executive chairman of the Sinclair Broadcast Group. I no longer fit there. I’m grateful to the sources whose trust enabled me to report responsibly, and to the readers who supported our work. I’m exploring new opportunities inside and outside journalism. My DMs are open.
🚨 BREAKING: Andrew Tate appears to have accidentally helped REOPEN the UK criminal investigation into himself.
Court documents show Tate's lawyers asked Hertfordshire Police to hand over evidence from the original investigation so they could use it against the women suing him in civil court.
But when Detective Superintendent Sally Phillips reviewed the material, she became "increasingly concerned about the quality and completeness" of the original investigation.
The result?
Hertfordshire Police decided to launch a full CRIMINAL REINVESTIGATION into the rape and sexual assault allegations.
An amazing legal own goal.
The maximum amount a person can donate to a candidate is $3500.
Miriam Adelson just donated another $25 million.
Citizens United didn’t give corporations “free speech.”
It let billionaires buy elections and legally bribe politicians.
End Citizens United.
Remember when a kid got years in North Korean prison for stealing a poster and everyone was like “what a terrifying country!” and now Americans are facing years in prison for touching floating paint chips...??
As a DC9 union painter with 30+ years in coatings, I’m looking at the failure not a conspiracy theory.
When a coating is lifting off in large sheets like this, that points to an adhesion failure: improper surface preparation, contamination left behind, the wrong coating system, poor recoat timing, or water introduced before the system fully cured.
A quality two-part epoxy system can perform well but the product is only as good as the prep and application. The substrate has to be properly profiled/cleaned, the specified primer or first coat applied correctly, recoat windows followed, and the full system allowed to cure before being put back into service.
That is not “vandals.” That is a coating failure that deserves a real independent inspection and an explanation of exactly what system was specified and how it was applied.

For almost six months, I followed the money behind the largest data center campus in Maryland — going up right now on the old Eastalco site in Adamstown.
I expected a local development story. What I found was a Texas private-equity firm and a consortium anchored by the sovereign wealth funds of Abu Dhabi, Kuwait, and Singapore, buying critical American infrastructure and building it on Frederick County farmland.
I found a county that doubled its data-center zone over the objection of its own planners — after the developers who stood to profit had funded the majority that voted yes.
I found 21,000 neighbors who gathered signatures in the dead of winter to put it to a vote, and a consortium of global capital that went to court and got that vote thrown out on a technicality last week.
And I found the bill the rest of us pay: power bills projected up as much as $70 a month, five million gallons of water a day in the middle of a drought, and 99 diesel generators permitted within a thousand feet of Carroll Manor Elementary.
It's all here, sourced line by line. The referendum is dead. The fight is not. Please read it, and share it with someone in MD-06 before Tuesday.
Today’s episode of “you can’t make this up:”
Trump set out to prove voter fraud in the voting machines. And found not a single instance of fraud, so they’re pretending the study never happened
Can you imagine the flu spreading through a military submarine or a warship? It would cripple the mission & cause serious health issues. This is one example of why you don’t put uneducated & untrained people in these positions.
Blistering court filing from plaintiffs challenging Trump's name change of Kennedy Center
About the tarp hiding restored signage:
"Willfully sabotaging the Kennedy Center’s iconic façade to assuage defendants’ vanity or massage broken egos is a clear breach of fiduciary duty"
@Tim_Walz It’s science. Dark bottom absorbs more heat causing algae blooms. $13M crappy job done by Trump’s Mar A Lago buddy who had bribery arrests. It’s like Trump only hires felons and those accused or convicted of sexual crimes. This is the guy he hired.
The Reflecting Pool arrests by Park Police should terrify everyone. The federal government is fabricating accusations out of thin air simply to protect one man from his own embarrassing failure.
There is no sabotage. This is insane.
