Baltimore, MD - Dec. 5, 2025 - A coalition gathered outside a Giant Food store in Locust Point on Thursday afternoon to launch a campaign to allow beer and wine in grocery stores.
Maryland Retailers Alliance President Cailey Locklair said Maryland is at a competitive disadvantage.
“Residents who live near borders routinely cross state lines into Delaware, Pennsylvania, West Virginia and the District of Columbia,” Locklair said.
Maryland state Del. Marlon Amprey is the sponsor of the Alcoholic Beverages Modernization Act, which would allow beer and wine to be sold in grocery stores.
Amprey said he thinks about the single mom “who is shopping with two or three kids and wants to be able to buy an alcoholic beverage but has three kids with her and has to go to ...

The arrest marks the first time investigators have settled on a suspect in an act that had long vexed law enforcement, spawned a multitude of conspiracy theories and remained an enduring mystery in the shadow of the dark chapter of American history that is the violent Capitol siege.
The arrest took place Thursday morning, and the suspect is a man, a law enforcement official told The Associated Press. He was arrested in Virginia, according to another person familiar with the matter. No other details were immediately available, including the charges the man might face. Th...

Yasser Abu Shabab, a leader of Gaza militias in eastern Rafah who in recent months has worked together with Israel, has been assassinated.
He had been cooperating with Israel in recent months and heads an organization called the Popular Forces. Senior Israeli security officials said he was killed in clashes between clans in Gaza.
Abu Shabab told an interview he gave to KAN News in the past that his people are young Palestinians from the Strip who do not belong to any political or organizational idea.
