Senate Democrats voted for the fourth time Friday to defeat a House-passed bill that would fund the government through Nov. 21 and end the three-day government shutdown that has left tens of thousands of federal employees furloughed. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) failed to pick up any additional Democratic votes for the clean, seven-week funding measure, leaving the tally at 54-44. It needed 60 votes to pass.  Three members of the Democratic caucus voted to advance the bill: Sens. Catherine Cortez Masto (Nev.), John Fetterman (Pa.) and Angus King (Maine), an independent who caucuses with Democrats.  Cortez Masto, Fetterman and King voted twice previously for the bill, saying they wanted to avoid a shutdown that would hu...
In the wake of political activist and Donald Trump confidante Laura Loomer doxing a U.S. Army Research Lab scientist from Baltimore, Apple on Thursday removed apps from its store that allowed users to anonymously report sightings of Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents. Loomer alleged on X that the scientist, Nicholas Waytowich, who also teaches as an adjunct instructor, was behind an ICE-tracking app called Red Dot. She claimed he should be investigated and dismissed from his position. On Thursday, Loomer touted her role in having the apps removed. “Less than 48 hours after I published my expose about the @USArmy’s leading lab researcher who founded an ICE tracking app and I did a show exposing @Apple and @Google for undermining President Trump’s immigration pol...
Baltimore, MD - Sept. 28, 2025 - Ahead of the Yom Tov season, and with the ongoing outbreak of measles in Israel, we wanted to share the following recommendations for anyone traveling with children to Israel for Yom Tov. The following also applies to any international travel or travel to a location with a known measles outbreak. * Children and adolescents who have had 2 doses of the measles vaccine given after 1 year of age are considered up-to-date, and do not need any further vaccination. * Children 1 year and older who have had one dose of the vaccine should get a second dose (normally given at 4 years old), so long as at least 28 days have passed since the first.

Washington, D.C. - Oct 3, 2025 - US President Donald Trump posted a threat to Hamas on 'Truth Social'. "Hamas has been a ruthless and violent threat, for many years, in the Middle East", he wrote, "They have killed (and made lives unbearably miserable), culminating with the October 7th MASSACRE, in Israel, babies, woman, children, old people, and many young men and women, boys and girls, getting ready to celebrate their future lives together". "As retribution for the October 7th attack on civilization, more than 25,000 Hamas “soldiers” have already been killed", he continued, "Most of the rest are surrounded and MILITARILY TRAPPED, just waiting for me to give the word, “GO,” for their lives to be quickly extinguished". "As for the rest", the president a...
Baltimore, MD - Oct. 3, 2025 -  Oct Baltimore taxpayers are spending more than $160,000 for Mayor Brandon Scott’s new ride, a fully loaded 2025 Jeep Grand Wagoneer with custom security features. The price tag raises questions about spending priorities in a city that just closed a budget deficit with new fees and fines, while residents endure crumbling infrastructure, persistent crime and rising costs of living. At a time when Baltimore residents are asked to pay more, records show Scott’s office made a purchase that watchdogs say is far from frugal. Taxpayers shelled out $163,495 for Scott’s new SUV, according to a purchase order obtained by Spotlight on Maryland through a public records request. The vehicle itself cost $98,716, while another $64,779 went toward up...

The BBC reported this evening (Thursday) that mediators Qatar and Egypt contacted the head of Hamas' military wing in Gaza, Izz ad-Din al-Haddad, who made it clear that he opposes US President Donald Trump's 21-point plan. According to the report, al-Haddad believes that the US plan is intended to bring about the end of Hamas's rule - whether the terrorist organization agrees to it or not - and therefore, from his perspective, there is no point in accepting it, and Hamas must continue fighting. On Tuesday, US President Donald Trump told reporters that Hamas has three to four days to respond to his peace plan, which he presented during a press conference with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Monday. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt confi...
