As Alexandria's England Airpark is set to host an ICE detention center for children and families, Verite News examined the airpark’s contract with a Louisiana private prison operator. https://t.co/aQjUCDkPD3

@aprilqueved0 I wonder if that percentage turnout is typical for a primary

Today marks 30 years since the tragic Oklahoma City bombing that killed 168 people, 19 Children. Experts I spoke with say the alarm bells have been ringing for years about the rise of domestic extremism. @CNSmd https://t.co/YFbd2Kdy44

Hegseth: "In reality or in perception, the communist Chinese have had designs on more control of this canal." Is the threat real or perceived? Those are two different things.

[Robert F Stewart @robert74578]

Hegseth flew south yesterday to a Trump territorial claim – the Panama Canal. Trump has said he wants the canal back; it was built by Americans for Americans. The Afro Caribbean community says, that’s far from accurate. https://t.co/x0fA04yNEm

[Robert F Stewart @robert74578]

While there, Hegseth said the U.S. wants to deepen its partnership with Panama to take the canal back from China's influence. It seems like Trump and Hegseth are saying different things.

Tackling gangs in the Caribbean helps the U.S. protect its border against illicit maritime trafficking. The U.S. had been investing foreign aid into gang prevention strategies there for years. Now, much of that work has come to an abrupt halt. @CNSmd

Tyler Perry's "The Six Triple Eight" was a deeply meaningful movie for the family members of predominately-black battalion. It reanimated the service of their mothers and aunts from the obscurities of history onto the global stage. @CNSmd @Tylerperry https://t.co/xOExMtHYIL

Update: the Senate passed the NDAA today. The bill will head to the president’s desk.

The U.S. Senate is set to vote on the National Defense Authorization Act this week. When it passes, these first U.S. women soldiers will be on the verge of getting a prestigious award. A long-term Maryland resident is on that list. @CNSmd

There are several types of allegations obscuring Trump’s pick to run the DoD -- sexual misconduct, financial mismanagement... Then, there are his ideological views. Maryland veterans respond in this story to Hegseth's views on women in combat. @CNSmd

Maryland residents whose families hail from Ukraine are deeply concerned about the return of Trump. He dodged questions about the war there during his campaign and has uncommonly praised the Russian president, Vladimir Putin.

Election Day is tomorrow!

But how would you feel if the polling site you’d been going to for years was suddenly gone?

That happened to one small island community in Maryland in 2020. Now, their polling site is back, and they’re thrilled.
