Baltimore, MD - Feb. 5, 2025 - The founder of a Florida-based neo-Nazi group was convicted Monday of conspiring with his former girlfriend to plan an attack on Maryland’s power grid in furtherance of their shared racist beliefs.

The two were arrested in February 2023 — before the plans were executed.
The 12-person jury deliberated for less than an hour after hearing about four days of testimony in federal court in Baltimore. They found Russell guilty o...

Baltimore,, MD - Feb. 5, 2025 - History is around every corner in Baltimore; on the corner of Watson and Lloyd streets, a red brick building between two synagogues is home to centuries of it.
After a year and a half of renovations, the Jewish Museum of Maryland is open again.
"The museum was built in the early 1990s, and so it was time to give this place a refresh," Erika Hornstein, the museum's board president, told WMAR.
Hornstein said the museum now features a 'brand new visitor experience' including a central arcade - made possible by Orioles owner David Rubenstein - a production studio, and space for exhibits.
On display right now: a music exhibit curated by a Baltimore-based historian, and decades of issues of 'Generations,' the museum's magazine pub...

Palestine Liberation Organization, et al.

The PSJVTA is a vital piece of legislation aimed at holding organizations such as the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) and Palestinian Authority (PA) accountable for their “Pay for Slay” programs in which they incentivize terrorism through financial payments. The PSJVTA ensures American victim...

Arlington, VA - Feb. 4, 2025 - The remains of all 67 victims of last week's midair collision of an American Airlines flight and an Army helicopter near Washington, D.C., have been recovered, authorities said Tuesday.
The chief medical examiner is still trying to positively identify one set of remains, officials said in a news release.
The news came Tuesday as crews worked to try to recover the cockpit and other parts of the jetliner from the Potomac River. Officials said their work might depend upon the wind and tidal conditions in the river, where the aircraft crashed last Wednesday night after colliding as the plane was about to land at nearby Ronald Reagan National Airport. All 67 people on board the two aircraft were killed.
By midday, crews were working to raise another large ...
