In 2020, Cumberland city leaders made that officer chief of police.

New records show a Cumberland, Maryland officer admitted “filthy” messages with a teen before becoming police chief — a case the city kept quiet.

Lizza is a creepy weirdo who thought he could (sexually) take advantage of a younger woman and instead got taken advantage of by her. Its actually a pretty classic fable of an arrogant man with power and a seductive woman if you think about it.
Lizza writes as if he was perturbed by Nuzzi having a thing for much older men, implying the two of them were around the same age. He is actually 19 years older than her. In 2020, she was 27 and he was 46.

NEW: We traced out a devastating outbreak of bird flu to its source: an egg farm in Ohio. Where the wind blew, the virus followed.
Within weeks, the farms downwind were about 20 times as likely to see outbreaks as those that weren’t.

What the U.S. Government Is Dismissing That Could Seed a Bird Flu Pandemic
Egg producers suspect bird flu is traveling through the air. After a disastrous Midwestern outbreak early this year, we tested that theory and found that where the wind blew, the virus followed. Vaccines could help, but the USDA hasn’t approved them.
