Baltimore, MD - Aug. 18, 2025 - I'm writing to you today with a very personal request.
My brother Irwin has been battling liver cancer and non-alcoholic cirrhosis. His only curative option at this point is a living donor liver transplant.
The liver is a truly amazing organ—it regenerates. A healthy person can donate a portion of their liver, and it will grow back to full size within weeks. This incredible gift could save Irwin’s life.
We are looking for a healthy individual between the ages of 18 and 60 with blood type A+, A-, O+, or O-.
Irwin is currently being evaluated at several of the nation's top transplant centers, including:
- Johns Hopkins Hospital (Baltimore) - NYU Langone Health (New York City) - University of Maryland Medical Center (Baltimore)

The State Department said Thursday that it’s reviewing the records of more than 55 million foreigners who hold valid U.S. visas for potential revocation or deportable violations of immigration rules.
In a written answer to a question posed by The Associated Press, the department said that all U.S. visa holders are subject to “continuous vetting” with an eye toward any indication that they could be ineligible for the document.
Should such information be found, the visa will be revoked and, if the visa holder is in the United States, he or she would be subject to deportation.
The department said it was looking for indicators of ineligibility including visa overstays, criminal activity, threats to public safety, engaging in any form of terrorist activity, or providing sup...

Baltimore, MD - Aug. 21, 2025 - Today we witnessed the demolition of the iconic Pimlico Race Course Clubhouse a major step toward securing the future of the Preakness right here in Baltimore.
Grateful to First Lady Dawn Moore and Governor Wes Moore for turning the Preakness into a true statewide celebration one our entire community can take pride in and benefit from.
This work guarantees that the Preakness Stakes will remain a Baltimore tradition for the next 150 years.
Special thanks to the dedicated professionals at Maryland Stadium Authority , Berg Demo, and Clark Construction for carrying out this important historic project with a true community first mindset.
Baltimore, MD - Aug. 21, 2025 - WITS opened its laboratory facilities to Yachad-Baltimore participants, providing hands-on experiences that combine science, curiosity, and inspiration. Under the direction of Dr. Arthur Salhanick, the WITS lab coordinator, Yachad young adults, men and women, along with staff members, have, to date, engaged in four hands-on lab activities: exploring the process of cellular respiration, constructing molecular models, microscopic examination of plant and animal organisms (including live specimens), and most recently examining mammalian anatomy using the fetal pig as a dissection model.More than providing an excitement in putting on gloves, goggles, and lab aprons, the true goal is to show the beauty of the world Hashem has given us. For example, a lab on cellu...
Baltimore, MD - Aug. 21, 2025 - With the start of the school year approaching, Maryland officials are reminding drivers about state laws requiring them to stop for school buses and the significant penalties for violations.
State law requires all drivers to stop when they encounter a stopped school bus, but enforcement data shows many motorists continue to ignore this safety requirement.
Last school year, Maryland issued 20,000 automatic citations for drivers who illegally passed school buses.
However, officials believe the actual number of violations may be much higher since only nine out of Maryland's 24 school districts have automatic enforcement cameras on their buses.
Costly consequences for violations
Drivers who pass stopped school buses face substantial financial penaltie...

New York - An appeals court has thrown out the massive civil fraud penalty against President Donald Trump, ruling Thursday in New York state’s lawsuit accusing him of exaggerating his wealth.
The decision came seven months after the Republican returned to the White House. A panel of five judges in New York’s mid-level Appellate Division said the verdict, which stood to cost Trump over $515 million and rock his real estate empire, was “excessive.”
After finding that Trump engaged in fraud by flagrantly padding financial statements that went to lenders and insurers, Judge Arthur Engoron ordered him last year to pay $355 million in penalties. With interest, the sum has topped $515 million.
The total — combined with penalties levied on some...

Baltimore, MD - Aug. 20, 2025 - Ed Hale Sr. announced his candidacy for Governor of Maryland on Wednesday morning.

Hale outlined his vision and priorities for the state, and focused on economic growth, public safety, education, and quality of life.
The owner of the Baltimore Blast, Hale is now 78-years-old, and originally announced his intentions to run for governor as a Democrat in May.
