Washington, D.C. - Jan. 9, 2025 - The US House of Representatives passed the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act today (Thursday) to impose sanctions on the International Criminal Court (ICC) and its Chief Prosecutor, Karim Khan, in response to its arrest warrants against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
The legislation passed 243-140. 198 Republicans and 45 Democrats voted in favor of the bill. All "Nay" votes came from Democrats, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), and former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif).

Baltimore, MD - Jan. 9, 2025 - Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott joined other city officials and community and faith leaders in reading the names of the 201 homicide victims in the city in 2024.
The vigil of remembrance took place Tuesday night on the steps of the War Memorial building.
Jermaine Brown said things have been tough for him since he lost his cousin to gun violence last summer.
"It's just nice to know that people actually have time to take to remember their loved ones they lost because they're still watching," Brown said "He had a family. He had multiple kids. He was free-spirited. Left his mark everywhere he went."
It comes after Baltimore reported the lowest number of homicides in more than four decades.
Stefanie Mavronis, director of the Mayor's Off...
Conference to Occur in Fort Lauderdale, Fl. from Feb. 2-4; Will Bring Together Top Legal Minds to Discuss Ways to Address Rising Antisemitism in America
A few months ago, an Orthodox Jew was shot on a Shabbat morning as he made his way to shul in a premeditated and targeted hate crime. Political leaders in Chicago refused to acknowledge the antisemitic attack for days.
Just this month, the FBI arrested a Florida man for plotting an attack on a South Florida AIPAC building. And “Israelis are the new Nazis” was recently graffitied next to an Oakland, Ca. menorah belonging to the local Chabad.
American Jewish communities are experiencing exploding antisemitism across the country. To meet the demands of the moment, the Orthodox Union Advocacy Center (OUA), the public policy arm ...
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...

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.
