A coalition of progressive voters is celebrating the “historic impact” of its efforts to pressure President Biden to call for a cease-fire in Gaza, by getting 10% of Democrats to buck the president and vote “uncommitted” in Tuesday’s primary. But analysts said that the 47,587 “uncommitted” votes cast Tuesday are likely “not fatal” to Biden’s general election campaign.

The Dali cargo ship is set to be refloated Monday morning, the Key Bridge Response Unified Command announced Saturday afternoon. After sitting stuck in the Patapsco River following its March 26 crash into the Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore, the vessel is scheduled to leave its position at high tide Monday around 5:24 a.m. after being prepped for the journey to a local marine terminal around 2 a.m. (Photo: Baltimore Sun)

Marilyn Mosby turned around after being convicted at her first trial and didn’t recall seeing any supporters in the courtroom. On the nationally syndicated radio show “The Breakfast Club,” Mosby recounted what she described as the most sobering moment of her prosecution related to her purchase of two luxury vacation homes in Florida. She said she prayed on it — and realized that God was with her the entire time.

A crash course on the economics of modern racehorse ownership: Julie Hobson bought a 0.02% share of Seize the Grey for $127. When the horse won the Preakness Stakes on Saturday evening, she — and every other microshare owner — earned $158 of the $2 million purse. But Hobson also spent $2,000 just to get to Baltimore after her flight was delayed from her home in Northern California.

Just hours before high tide, when officials planned to start refloating the enormous container ship that toppled the Francis Scott Key Bridge and restricted maritime traffic for two months, the longshoremen of Local 333 were dancing to vintage Jackson 5 tunes and slurping water ice. Eight weeks of angst had ended, and it might as well finish with a party. The longshoremen were going back to work, at long last.

Amidst a national debate regarding methods of protest and activism, students at B-CC High School in Bethesda have once again shown our community how it’s done. I recently attended an exhibition by B-CC students hosted by Artomatic, the annual showcase of visual art, music, film, performance and poetry. Organized by B-CC teacher David Lopilato and timed to coincide with the 25th anniversary of the Columbine school shooting in Colorado, the student art dealt with the issue of gun violence.

 

Royal Caribbean and Carnival are getting ready to sail out of the Port of Baltimore as the first cruise departures from the port since the March 26 collapse of the Francis Scott Key Bridge.

Last month, Google unveiled plans to invest more than $1 billion to expand its data centers in Virginia. The investment promises to create hundreds of jobs and serve as an economic engine, generating tax revenue not only in Loudon and Prince William counties, where the centers are to be located, but throughout the entire state.

Anyone who knows me knows I love books. The real ones — the ones where you can actually turn the pages. Not those that you read on electronic devices. In fact, I am still a big fan of print, which is why I am proud to get an actual newspaper delivered to my house each morning. I am doing my part to ensure that there is still a place for print. But I digress.

In the darkest moments of her campaign for Congress, Sarah Elfreth listened to a message from a man who died five years ago. “Stay tough,” House Speaker Mike Busch said in a lengthy voicemail after she announced her campaign for state Senate in 2017. “You’re the future of the Democratic Party.” Elfreth listened to the recording on the day that her main rival in the Democratic primary, former U.S. Capitol Police Officer Harry Dunn, announced he was millions ahead of her in fundraising.
