Baltimore leaders are rolling out a plan today for a new agency that would absorb MONSE but also include teams to respond to 911 calls without police thebanner.com/politics-power…

You’re welcome
🚨 Zohran Mamdani installs modern garbage bins on NYC streets to remove trash from sidewalks.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
While Mayor Mamdani is expanding the program, former mayor Eric Adams initiated it, installing 1,100 ‘Empire Bins’ in West Harlem in 2025. nyc.gov/mayors-office/…
It’s amazing how misinformation gets the headline, but the truth gets the footnote. BPD was never contacted by this train wreck Florida sheriff’s office. This headline is false.

Nah. Taking Baltimore out of the name is crazy. If they wanted a name that reflected a broader mission while still acknowledging where it belongs, it should've been “The National Museum of Railroad History & Innovation in Baltimore,” just like aquarium and the zoo.
The B&O Railroad Museum announced Tuesday it will become the National Museum of Railroad History & Innovation, a name change that officials say reflects the museum’s broader mission as a national institution. buff.ly/GrjGMYO
Breaking news: People are hanging out where bars, clubs, and late night food spots are all within walking distance. Almost like the area is one the many entertainment districts in a major city 🤔🤔🤔
I'm not a bike lane apologist, but I do believe too many of our streets are designed to move cars as fast as possible instead of moving people safely. If reducing Hilton to one lane means fewer crashes, fewer deaths, and safer routes to schools, that's a tradeoff worth making.
A city proposal to redesign the busy four-lane road into two lanes to add bike lanes is drawing opposition from residents who say they were caught off guard by the plans.

It’s becoming increasingly apparent that this publication applies a different standard to Black elected officials.
Baltimore taxpayer money is being used to send Mayor Brandon Scott and three city employees to New Orleans this weekend after the Baltimore Board of Estimates approved the travel Wednesday. bit.ly/4gkogLa
A sweep for Mayor Scott in Baltimore City primaries.
Sabrina Tapp-Harper unseated the incumbent in the Sheriff’s race.
In the 41st District, Del. Malcolm Ruff will be the next State Senator, Del. Sean Stinnett held his seat, and Ryan Turner will join the delegation.

Today, I had the pleasure of attending the ribbon cutting for the new track and field at Pimlico Elementary School, an exciting and meaningful achievement for the students, staff, and entire school community.

This is HUGE.
A new study found that Safe Streets led to a 42% drop in youth homicides in Baltimore.
This comes after the Penn North Safe Streets site marked one year with ZERO homicides! @BaltimoreMONSE @MayorBMScott
New research: Baltimore's Safe Streets program is associated with a 42% drop in youth homicides and 21% fewer nonfatal youth shootings.
It's the first study to examine community violence intervention programs specifically for youth violence impacts. 🔗publichealth.jhu.edu/center-…
So what’s the expectation here? That a cop stops mid-arrest because their shift ended?
This is a city serving real people, not a bottom line exercise. Emergencies do not occur on a 8:30AM-4:30PM schedule. Folks need to be serious.
Baltimore’s rising overtime costs are fueling a growing clash between City Council leaders demanding tighter fiscal control and agency officials who say the spending is unavoidable and baked into how the city operates. bit.ly/3QV36Zk

You wouldn't know it from this graphic—or any of the dozens of misleading stories Sinclair has done like this in the last year—but they didn't "give the mayor's office" millions. They chose to fund youth summer jobs.
They're mad that the CHILDREN AND YOUTH FUND… funded youth
Internal documents show how Mayor Brandon Scott’s administration worked behind the scenes to secure millions of dollars from a taxpayer-funded nonprofit meant to support grassroots youth programs, bypassing the group’s typical grant process and drawing criticism from city leaders.
Records obtained through a public information request by Spotlight on Maryland reveal months of coordination between the mayor’s office and the Baltimore Children and Youth Fund (BCYF), a nonprofit that receives more than 99% of its funding from city taxpayers. The communications show how the partnership was pitched, revised and ultimately approved — even as City Council members raised concerns about transparency, oversight and whether the money was being used as intended.
