Perhaps an unpopular opinion but the amount of salt and brine that gets put down on roads and sidewalks?

Disgusting. Wasteful. There shouldn’t be a crust of salt everywhere!

Trinity Rodman had *every* reason to leave the league because of how she was treated. But you could always tell she *wanted* to stay with the Washington Spirit.

BREAKING: Trinity Rodman is staying with the Washington Spirit through 2028 after her previous four-year extension lapsed on Dec. 31, the team announced on Thursday.

The EEOC has just voted 2-1 to remove the entirety of its employer guidance on sexual harassment because portions of it protected trans people.

This administration is pro sexual harassment while simultaneously claiming they protect women.

Here's a quick first look at Maryland Gov. Wes Moore's budget proposal.

He's not proposing new or expanded taxes, instead relying on spending cuts, shifts and maneuvers to keep the budget balanced.

The full budget proposal — which spans hundreds of pages over multiple volumes — wasn’t immediately available; it’s due to be released later Wednesday.

NEW: Former Gov. Larry Hogan is not challenging Wes Moore this year. The Republican would have been the biggest name challenging Moore.

Hogan said though he cares about Maryland and the nation, "I have no intention of running for office again."
