We should know who he is and his associations should be investigated. Its 2018 and identifying yourself as a nazi during Fiddler on the Roof is an act of terror. Tell me I'm wrong.
The tunnels might be functionally unusable for years. A huge stretch of 95 will be a nasty chokepoint. The rest of the beltway was already at capacity. This is going to put a lot of pressure on the city.
NPR just described Trump as being "under sharp criticism from democrats" for interfering in an election and god damn it I wish reporters appreciated and understood the damage done by softening their language to avoid being seen as partisan.
Two corrupt Baltimore Police officers took the stand yesterday in a drug trial, detailing how they carried out robberies - on and off duty, protected drug dealer friends and sold guns and drugs
The most inevitable Baltimore shit ever will be finding out in June that we actually had 1000s and 1000s of unused COVID tests this whole time but the person responsible for distributing them took December off.
Larry Hogan doesn't have a complicated history with Baltimore City he abused it at every opportunity. Implying that he might have a role in "rebuilding" it is doing the work of the Hogan campaign.
They really tried to turn off a sitting mayor's microphone while he was mid-sentence, and so emboldened to prevent any criticism of the governor that they went for it on-camera with reporters watching.
VIDEO: Greenbelt Mayor Colin Byrd today criticized Gov. Hogan for vaccine rollout, loosening restrictions "far too quickly", etc. Eight minutes into his remarks, the governor interrupted. A minute later, an event organizer tried to cut the mic.
We're watching people in uniform publically declare that they have no intention of upholding hypothetical laws they disagree with. These are dangerous extremists, and in a functioning society people on the right would admit to how fucked up this is.
Here, wrestle with this one; there's still no suspect, but the BPD knows for a fact that this murder was completely unrelated to the crooked fucking cops he was set to testify against.
I've lived in Mount Vernon for 15 years and the idea that Eddie's is closing because of violence and shoplifting is so fucking absurd. Way to take a shot at the neighborhood on the way out you fucking loser.
Someone moved a traffic cone at Preston and decided to reopen Charles St with the astronaut statues still in the middle of the road. Theres a Pepsi machine just sitting in the intersection.
I was really hoping Hogan would come out strong and show that he understands how serious this is getting but he won't. All this bars and restaurants must close at 10pm shit is pathetic.
The commissioner was caught lying about his knowledge of a murdered homicide detective's involvement in an interstate conspiracy by his department to sell drugs through Philadelphia and *no one* in power has even considered firing him.
How great would it be to have like 10 full time reporters who did nothing but stay 10 feet deep in city hall's shit. They'd pay for themselves 20 times over every single year.
Everyone thinks they're dunking on Bret Stephens but the only metric that matters in 2019 is engagement and his bosses are going nuts right now. We're just the subjects in some fucked up lab experiment that machines are in control of.
I'm genuinely shocked by how ill-suited npr is at covering Trump. They just asked a guest if they thought he was capable of pushing for meaningful gun control.
At meeting with a handful of community leaders, Gov Larry Hogan said he was told Baltimore's squeegee workers make $40 to $50/hr--way higher than the $100/wk estimate used by the City
A man shouted “Heil Hitler, Heil Trump” at a performance of “Fiddler on the Roof” Wednesday night in Baltimore. Many in the audience feared the worst was about to happen.
You are asked to believe that a man who has been a republican his entire life will vote against thee defining issue among republicans over the past 50 years by taking a position he just adopted hours after winning the nomination for senate.
Former Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, now running for the U.S. Senate, made his clearest comments yet on abortion, telling the NYT on Thursday: “I support restoring Roe as the law of the land.”
It's ok for Baltimore City to be policed mostly by non-residents who commit crimes against citizens in such numbers that it requires federal intervention and oversight, not to mention recent convictions and the murder of a detective, but calling them "mercenaries" is TOO FAR.
When you hear a white man from the county rationalize the murder of a black teenager in Baltimore City it's upsetting but not surprising. For the mayor of our city to respond with the exact same rhetoric, that's how you know just how fucked our city is.
100%. The public has an absolute right to know who this is. This piece of shit just terrorized a theater full of people and it doesn't appear as if there are any consequences.
Larry Hogan thinks the only reason we even have a state government is to build roads that connect his properties together so to be fair we're the assholes for assuming his administration could handle a massive vaccine rollout.
I swear to god I'm still trying to understand what happened out there tonight but the FOP has already decided that the people out there are not kids! Some are criminals! Some! Dont fall into the trap!!
To our officers at the Harbor tonight:
Protect each other and don't fall into the trap that they are only kids. Some are criminals! Keep the current policies and Consent Decree in mind. If ordered to arrest put the name of the on-scene Commander in all reporting.

The BPD is committed to protecting rights and facilitating peaceful protests to ensure the safety of everyone. Small stashes of potential weapons have been located. If you "See Something, Say Something.” Call 911 if you see anything that could be used to incite violence.
How embarrassing. Shame on you, Mike. You're elevating a grifter just to gain traffic from people who hate the city. Also the man's home isnt part of some duck boat tour. Stay the fuck away, thanks.

@wjz
There's nothing funny about violent crime, but when mayors take credit for good January & February numbers, but get caught completely off-guard when crime goes back up, man, that's always funny.
Isnt it weird how "we must hold the city accountable" polls better than "we're going to do what's right and ensure that children dont suffer in the heat".

@CommishKDavis
says police will be releasing body-cam footage from chase of Mausean Carter, accused in deadly “shooting spree” ending in police chase thru Baltimore on Friday.
Imagine being a paid media strategist and telling your customer that the key to a successful social media campaign is graphics on photos, using multiple hashtags, and sending out an obnoxious amount of tweets per day.
What Larry Hogan has been been doing as governor has been out in the open for years and a conscious choice was made not to address it because of who and how many of them didnt want to hear about it. That's the truth. Tell me I'm wrong.
BREAKING: MARYLAND GOV DECLARES STATE OF EMERGENCY. A cargo ship crashed into the Key Bridge causing it to collapse.
Tony G sent us this video as he was standing by when the ship crashed into the bridge.

It's very, very difficult to read this article and not think there was a significant threat to the public that no one was told about. That's the most generous way I can say it. Read the article.
Assaulted and set on fire: Days before LaPere’s killing, the horrific attack that started with a ‘maintenance’ visit
Content warning: This story contains descriptions of violence and references to sexual assault.
Downtown Baltimore is a sad little dead zone where no one wants to live, eat, or spend time in, and the only foot traffic is from lost tourists who can't find anything to do after going to Camden Yards or the Aquarium and no amount of tax incentives will ever change that.
This is so dangerous, and no better sign that he really is running for senate than being a lame duck who can't resist dividing Baltimore City from the rest of the state.
Governor Hogan: "If you take
#Baltimore
City out of MD, we prob. have lowest murder rate in America but with Baltimore, it's the highest." Hogan says too many violent offenders "get a slap on the wrist," now directing MD Attorney General to step in, prosecute more violent crimes.
This city has to stop romanticizing the fuckedupedness of Baltimore. This shit isn't charming, and it's not funny. We've got deep problems that could literally doom us.
The president and the governor conspired to commit fraud by stealing millions from a poor neighborhood and giving it to a wealthy businessman who donates to both of them. That should be the local story of the year.
Baltimore is staring at the inescapable truth that Mayor Pugh is incapable of performing her duties or running the city and the best city hall can hope for is to fake it long enough that enough people don't notice.
Stepping in just to say that pretty much everything that was true about The Wire is way, way worse now than it was when it was on so be mad at that instead of getting angry about being compared to a tv show.
I can't accept that a homicide detective was murdered in public during daylight hours and there isn't a suspect and no one saw anything and it wasn't a suicide and police don't know a lot more than they're telling us.
The story here isn't Thiru, the story is David Smith. The Sun didn't get the scoop, they had a coordinated opinion piece locked and loaded. Collusion between rival campaigns and Sinclair is the thing that hurts Baltimore.

@baltsunopinion
: No matter what side of the squeegee debate one aligns, everyone should agree that tensions have reached a dangerous level and cannot continue.
It's like when the local media realized how much people outside of Baltimore hated squeegee kids so they became a big story for 3 months. Chase the clicks and engagement, no matter where it takes you or who you put at risk.
Talk about a deceptive headline. The headline says 300-500 *involved in fight.* The article says 300-500 teens were *at the harbor* when a fight broke out.
This is the definition of collective responsibility. They assume all the teens at the harbor were involved in the fight.
This is so fucking exhausting. Crime explodes under Hogan, he bears zero responsibility and treats it like someone else's problem, then places blame on the city for not caring enough.
Larry Hogan just said these words:
1827 people have been murdered in Baltimore since Freddie Gray. Where is the outrage from the residents of the city? To say enough is enough? These black lives matter. I wish there was more people focused on all of those victims.
This is who you're serving, this demeaning caricature, this orange and yellow disgrace who attacks your state's greatest city while you silently cower behind a subservient local media, you unbelievable absolute fucking coward
@GovLarryHogan

Trump has now made shitting on Baltimore part of his campaign speeches. Echoing someone in the crowd, he claims the homicide rate is higher in the city than Afghanistan.
It's not that voters in Maryland don't care about police corruption, they just could not care less about the people it's happening to, and neither does the governor.
