Mayor Brandon Scott has reduced crime in Baltimore by 62%, and now has the lowest homicide rate in Baltimore history.
How did he do it?
NOT be spending more on police. He did it by MAJOR investment in afterschool and literacy programs.

If you’re an elected Democrat (rightly) complaining about the GOP kicking 17 million people off of Medicaid, now is a good and credible time to critique the entire broken work-based non-universal US healthcare system. Now is the time to call for universal healthcare, for Medicare for All.

Amazing, the strategist that Eric Adams hired to launch his independent campaign is an RFK Jr guy who strangled his girlfriend and punched her in the face. Our opponents are truly evil people.

Every time! There is zero benefit to caving, every time!
So far, Columbia has gotten back exactly 0% of its withheld funds, despite its willingness to "negotiate" with the Trump Administration.
In a head-spinning pair of announcements on Wednesday, the National Institutes of Health told staff that it would lift its monthslong freeze on all research funding to Columbia University — then reversed its reversal, emails show.
