They’re running 50 years after the first women were admitted to Annapolis and at a time when President Donald Trump's administration is denigrating the role of women in the military. It’s not only a generational shift. It feels like a response. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

I'll be there moderating a panel on the bio med economy.

Circumstances surrounding the death of Kyle Philbert James, of Whippany, N.J., are under investigation. www.thebanner.com/education/hi...

What Gov. Wes Moore suggested feels like almost as dangerous a fantasy — that the military might save the republic from becoming a military dictatorship by disobeying a presidential order. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Last week, the Kaye family sold its two 74-foot schooners in Annapolis to 59º North Sailing, a rare change in a rarefied field. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

In Maryland’s largest city, Edgar Allan Poe is the stuff of stage productions and street festivals, wreath layings and end zone dances. He is the rubber duck “Edgar Mallard Poe.” Is all this Poe-ishness real, or just another thing to sell Baltimore? www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Just like men and women in military uniform, federal civil servants take an oath. Just like them, they promise to support and defend the Constitution. How did we forget that? www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

The longtime lore of the show has been that buyers tend to follow the boat show circuit, window-shopping for an expensive luxury. Because it is one of the last in-water shows on the East Coast, closing the deal is a big feature of the four October days at City Dock. www.thebanner.com/culture/thin...

The messenger, whoever he or she or they may be, matters less than the medium. AI-generated images have arrived in Maryland, and there’s no going back. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Bodies in concrete. Planes beneath the spans. It can’t stand straight in a breeze. And now, a new Bay Bridge legend is born. It’s slipping! No matter the facts, a good story about the bridge takes on a life of its own. Stories with facts? Even better. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Are Democrats on the patriot road, making a shutdown a fight to stop President Donald Trump’s unconstitutional power grab, or are they in the driveway selling affordability? It's more than the economy, stupid. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Lies, damned lies and social media are destroying our republic. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Jared Littmann offered thanks to the invitation-only crowd with prepared remarks that sounded a lot like a victory speech. www.thebanner.com/community/lo...

The threat against the Naval Academy set off panic and confusion and resulted in a midshipman mistakenly engaging a law enforcement officer and being shot and wounded. From Tim Prudente. www.thebanner.com/anne-arundel...

Maryland has yet to join one of these partnerships, but the idea is under discussion. It should be. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

The indefensible actions of a shooter unbalanced by Charlie Kirk’s vitriol — if that’s what this was — are not justification to threaten retribution. Both are symptoms of our insanity. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Maryland is one of more than a dozen states that still criminalize adultery. It's a misdemeanor — punishable by a $10 fine. Since 2015, at least eight people have been charged with the offense, according to data from the Maryland Judiciary. (🎨: Yifan Luo) (via @thebaltimorebanner.com)

Ask him why, and Bill Kardash struggles for an answer. He sees less bureaucracy in other small cities and ruefully settles on “provincialism” as an explanation for why Annapolis hasn’t adopted his ideas. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

I asked more than 60 of the local and emerging songwriters performing over the next four days at the Rams Head Annapolis Songwriter Festival, and here’s some of what they shared. www.thebanner.com/culture/thin...

Dear Gov. Moore: How was Italy? Is George Clooney nice? www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

President Trump’s threat is not about crime; it’s not even about Baltimore or Chicago or any other of his favorite municipal punching bags, all run by Democratic mayors who happen to be people of color. It is about power. www.thebanner.com/opinion/dona...

If the money comes through, the candidate picked by voters this fall to be the next mayor will complete City Dock’s remake, probably in 2027. And if it doesn’t, one of the three candidates will figure out what happens next. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

What Washington D.C.’s occupation can teach Baltimore

By boosting the Orphans' Court judges’ salaries 18 months before their four-year terms end, Baltimore County may have violated the Maryland Constitution. Welcome to the most obscure part of our judiciary. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Maybe this war is too horrific for me to understand. So, I asked someone who was there for help. U.S. Rep. Johnny Olszewski Jr. was in Israel on Aug. 10 when Anas Al-Sharif was killed in Gaza. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Beauty, I have just been reminded, is in the eye. Sometimes in Annapolis, it's a poke. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

The Naval Academy Midshipmen open their football season Saturday in Annapolis against the Virginia Military Institute Keydets, the first time the two schools have met since 2014. Both schools could use the diversion. www.thebanner.com/culture/thin...

In Baltimore’s ‘hope desert,’ mass overdoses overshadow residents’ struggle for survival

Maryland students struggle with math, leaving a generation in trouble

Maryland Democrats could join the wave of gerrymandering congressional districts, but the math is murky. Or, they could get behind a candidate who can beat Andy Harris when the political moment makes him vulnerable. www.thebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Renfest is in its 49th season, and going to it is like sticking your head in a time traveler’s blender, a bewildering mix of funny hats, pointy shoes and shouting fools — not all of them actors — spread across 27 wooded acres. www.thebanner.com/culture/thin...

Vice Adm. Yvette Davids' praise of the Naval Academy, never faint or muted, offered the closest thing we may ever hear about how she views the orders that denied her a well-deserved cap to a notable career. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/opinion/colu...

After weeks in ICE custody, Maryland pastor embraced by family in emotional homecoming

Does anyone need a good reason to bite into a crunchy slice of cool sweetness. I certainly don’t. So, instead, I went in search of meaning in something so sublimely everyday. Here’s the hard truth about watermelon dreams. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/opinion/colu...

There are a lot of cool jobs on the water, but none may be more exotic in Annapolis than being a parasail captain. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/culture/thin...

Standing up to injustice requires courage, and every step toward despotism by this president is another call to show it. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/opinion/colu...

@jasminevaughnhall.bsky.social didn't just debunk the stereotype, she dunked it in the deep end and it wrung dry. Heartfelt writing by my @thebaltimorebanner.com colleague. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/opinion/colu...

Navy Secretary John Phelan’s letter lays out what is about to happen at the Annapolis military college. So it goes on the road to a military dictatorship. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/opinion/colu...

The Maynard-Burgess House was donated to Annapolis as a historian's idea of repayment for the city's racist past. It still hasn't fulfilled his dream. Voters should ask candidates how they will lead on reparations. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/opinion/mayn...

Annapolis opened Market House in the 19th century as a place for watermen to sell their catch. Arguments over the long, low white building are a political tradition. Here we go again. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/opinion/colu...

This is one of those traditions that define a city, even if the crabs no longer strictly come from the Chesapeake Bay, and eating them has gone from a cheap dinner to a splurge. www.thebaltimorebanner.com/culture/thin...
