Baltimore, MD - Jan. 9, 2025 - The former principal of Pikesville High School whose voice was allegedly imitated in a racist, AI-generated recording is now suing Baltimore County Public Schools, the athletic director charged in the case and other BCPS employees.
Eric Eiswert filed the suit in Baltimore County Circuit Court on Tuesday, alleging former athletic director Dazhon Darien and other school officials disseminated the fake audio clip to students and others, “causing it to spread rapidly” on social media and receive “millions of views,” according to court documents.
For example, DeRay McKesson, an activist and executive director of the nonprofit Campaign Zero, posted the audio to his nearly 1 million social media followers, comments in the recording,&r...

Baltimore, MD - Jan. 9, 2025 - A later-than-normal winter surge in COVID-19 cases is catching some Maryland residents by surprise as infections nationwide reached the highest levels in three years just as Americans were gathering with their families for the holidays.
Health experts call the current uptick in cases a “silent” surge because it comes after a long lull in COVID-19 transmission. This one came “out of nowhere,” Michael Hoerger, an associate professor at Tulane University School of Medicine and public health expert on tracking COVID-19 trends, wrote on X.
Hoerger, who runs a COVID-19 forecasting model that pulls heavily from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention wastewater surveillance data, estimates that 1 in 49 people, o...
Jerusalem, Israel -Jan. 9, 2025 - The National Public Diplomacy Directorate in the Prime Minister's Office is releasing today (Thursday), January 9, 2025, its annual Summary Report on Terrorism Against Israel for 2024, which gathers all the information and data from the IDF, Israel Police, the Israeli Security Agency (ISA), and the emergency and rescue authorities.

Maryland’s 90-day legislative session starts on Wednesday, January 8, and one of the biggest agenda items this year will be the Blueprint for Maryland’s Future.
The state is facing a multi-billion-dollar deficit, much of which is driven by education spending that a growing number of state leaders say needs to be slowed down.
The Blueprint for Maryland’s Future, passed in 2021, allocates $30 billion in additional tax dollars to public education statewide over the first 10 years and $4 billion more annually thereafter. The funding comes from a mix of state and local dollars and is aimed at increasing teacher salaries, expanding Pre-K, and bolstering career and technology training. However, when the legislature passed the law, it did not include a funding mechanism.
Now, ...

Baltimore, MD - Jan. 8, 2025 - Don't put away those snow shovels just yet. Mother Nature may have another round of snow heading toward Maryland this weekend. That will be accompanied by more bitter cold, with lows plunging into the teens three of the next five nights.
A winter storm threat may materialize late Friday night into early Saturday, the National Weather Service said.
A developing ice storm will target southern states by the end of the week before turning toward the mid-Atlantic and possibly New England this weekend, AccuWeather said. There's a potential for 1 to 3 inches of snow.
AccuWeather said the storm could quickly head east into the ocean, leaving Central Maryland with less snow and the lower Eastern Shore with more.

Baltimore, MD - Jan. 8, 2025 - Yesterday, Mayor Brandon M. Scott was joined by Governor Moore, City leaders, community partners, and residents to mark the historic violence reductions Baltimore saw last year and share the City’s public safety priorities for 2025.
Baltimore has experienced two back-to-back years of significant homicide reductions; both of the largest single-year drops in the city’s history. In 2024, the city experienced 201 homicides, a 23% decrease on top of the 20% drop in homicides Baltimore saw in 2023. Additionally, non-fatal shootings declined 34%, 414 in 2024 compared to 635 in 2023, and juvenile victims of homicides and non-fatal shootings dropped a substantial 74%.
“The reductions in violence the City of Baltimore is seeing is ...
California firefighters battled wind-whipped wildfires that tore across the Los Angeles area, destroying homes, clogging roadways as tens of thousands fled and straining resources as US officials prepared for the situation to worsen early Wednesday.
The fires appeared to destroy scores of homes, business and other structures in three separate areas of southern California, with at least one synagogue completely destroyed by fire and other Jewish institutions under threat.
All three fires were at 0 percent containment as of early Wednesday.

A large, fast-moving and growing brush fire broke out Tuesday afternoon in Pacific Palisades, prompting mandatory evacuations affecting tens of thousands of people and highway closures, including people who abandoned their vehicles to flee on foot.
More than 13,000 buildings and 26,000 people are in the evacuation zone, which has been labeled "under immediate threat," according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
As of 9:20 p.m., nearly 3,000 acres had burned, according to Cal Fire.
About 30,000 people have been evacuated from a total of 10,000 households, or 15,000 structures, to include businesses and other buildings so far with no injuries, Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnell told reporters at a news conference.

Baltimore, MD - Jan. 7, 2025 - Though Gov. Wes Moore has signaled an interest in allowing liquor to be sold in Maryland grocery stores, state Senate President Bill Ferguson said Monday that it isn’t at the top of his list of legislative priorities.
“This is not something that we’re going to be spending a lot of brain power trying to figure out,” Ferguson said in an interview Monday with The Baltimore Sun.
In December, Moore, a Democrat, said he would support legislation that would allow Maryland grocery stores to sell beer and wine.
“I look forward to working with our legislative partners to advance this overdue change in policy to advance consumer choice and economic competitiveness that enjoys the support of the vast majority of Marylanders across politic...
