Democratic leaders are hoping that Kamala Harris' shine rubs off on their candidates down the ballot.

Republican Vice Presidential candidate JD Vance’s comments about women who don’t have children insults their right to make choices about their own lives.

A clash between Anne Arundel County Orphans Court judges and the conviction of a register of wills on a misconduct charge underscore the need to reform the system that presides over the administration of estates.

Maryland Legal Aid, the state’s largest provider of free civil legal services, alleges that the state is relying on a broken automated system and routinely suspending driver’s licenses for unpaid child support without due process and in cases in which it is not permitted under the law.

Few things separate Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen. Their offices often put out joint news releases touting their accomplishments together. Not much, it seems, has separated the senior senator from his younger colleague. Except Benjamin Netanyahu.

Maryland’s budget was prepared to give scholarships to 40,000 kids to help their families afford child care. Less than a month into the fiscal year, it’s already blown past that number.

At one facility, on Bowley’s Lane, workers had to ask a supervisor for toilet paper every time they wished to use the bathroom — the supervisor kept it locked in a supply closet.

Sen. Ben Cardin is presiding over the speech, while Sen. Chris Van Hollen said he’s skipping it.

Renew Baltimore recently hired attorneys from the Thomas & Libowitz firm to sue after the city’s election board director rejected their petition to put the tax cut on the November ballot.

The assassination attempt unleashed intensifying outcry about how the agency tasked with protecting current and former presidents could fail in its core mission.

Kamala Harris has been covered inaccurately by media and others who don’t know the intricacies of her cultures. They’d better learn.

The proposal would reduce the council to eight members from 14, plus a president elected citywide. City attorneys have made clear that if two successful charter amendments are completely contradictory, both will be thrown out.

Once the party decides whether to nominate Kamala Harris or another candidate, nothing would change Maryland’s elections calendar, said Jared DeMarinis, administrator of the Maryland State Board of Elections.

Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle said Monday that her agency failed in its mission to protect former President Donald Trump, as lawmakers of both major political parties demanded during a highly contentious congressional hearing that she resign.

Then-Sen. Kamala Harris based her first run for president in Baltimore. As of now, it does not appear the vice president will move the campaign apparatus from Wilmington, Delaware, to Charm City.

“I have expressed that I love my job and I have no intention of leaving,” Moore told reporters in Washington on Monday.

The vote of support came during a virtual meeting Monday, party officials said.

“She will have the unique ability to energize the Democratic Party base and mobilize a unique coalition, and we must rally around her and elect her to serve as the next President of the United States,” Moore wrote in his endorsement.
