Pope Leo's words are too soft to effect Trump's cruel treatment of immigrants or even reflect the level of outrage already felt by a majority of Americans

The run of my next play, "No Mean City: Baltimore 1966," will include a free student matinee on Wednesday, March 11 at noon. Seating in the Meyerhoff Theater of the Baltimore Museum of Art is limited to 350, so Baltimore-area high schools are urged to make reservations now. "No Mean City" is a historical drama about the civil rights movement and the backlash to it, the words and deeds of Baltimore's last Republican mayor and the union of two great Robinsons -- Brooks and Frank -- who helped the Baltimore Orioles win the 1966 American League pennant and World Series.

A bright-red reminder that 77 million Americans chose for president one of the nation’s most despicable men.

On Nov. 17, 1965, five Maryland men died on the deadliest day in the fierce battles of the Ia Drang Valley during the Vietnam War.

Antoni Gaudi won’t be around to see the completion of his masterwork; the basilica Sagrada Familia in Barcelona is not scheduled for completion until 2026 — 144 years after Gaudi designed it and 100 after his death. Gustav Mahler took six years to compose his magnificent Symphony No. 2, and Freddie Mercury needed most of a decade to finish “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

On Veterans Day, during a drive through Maryland's Washington County, I took a side trip to see Dam No. 5, also known as the Honeywood Dam, on the Potomac River. It was a sunny but cold and blustery day, with some big winds bending trees and the dried sorghum I passed on the way through farm country. Access to Honeywood has been limited for more than a year as the…

This Veterans Day, thank a veteran in your life. And if you don't know one (which is growing more likely), find one, Dan Rodricks writes.

And so I obliged her, digging into one of my favorite recipe books, The Foods of Italy by the late great Giuliano Bugialli, who was a guest on my television show in the 1990s. Bugialli was a champion of simple, authentic vegetable dishes from all over Italy. I found a variety of his insalata recipes for a dinner for my daughter, friends and family.

Trump and Hegseth continue to kill people in boats under the pretense of stopping the flow of illegal drugs. Why stop there?

Among those who fish — and I’m sure it’s true of those who hunt and hike — you get into the habit of naming familiar places in the great outdoors, branding them in some personal way. Gunpowder River Along the Gunpowder River in northern Baltimore County, most anglers know where to find Whale Rock. Given the large boulder that inspired the name, it’s likely to stick for several generations.

Residents love living in “The A to K,” but why is the neighborhood also sometimes called “Joseph Lee?” Who was this guy? When I tracked down the answer, it became clear why they rebranded it as Bayvie...

Weekend essay: His name was McKeldin, the last Republican mayor of Baltimore, and a central figure in my third play about the city.

The 2025 World Series was epic. Too bad one team had to lose, and too bad it was the Toronto Blue Jays. We were rooting for them, and I’m sure that was the case throughout most of Birdland, home of the soon-to-be-great-again (and Blue Jays AL East rival) Baltimore Orioles. Next year will bring the 60th anniversary of the…

La Coalición urge que la Corte restaure de inmediato los fondos de SNAP, de los que dependen 42 millones de estadounidenses Comunicado de prensa del Fiscal General de Maryland BALTIMORE, MD (28 de octubre de 2025)– El Fiscal General Anthony G. Brown se unió hoy a una coalición de otros 22 fiscales generales y tres gobernadores para presentar una demanda contra el Departamento de Agricultura de los Estados Unidos (USDA) y su Secretaria Brooke Rollins por suspender ilegalmente el Programa de Asistencia Nutricional Suplementaria (SNAP), que ayuda a más de 40 millones de estadounidenses a comprar alimentos, debido al cierre del gobierno federal.

The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Roberts, has made Trump even more lawless in his second term.

He and Hegseth contrive uses of the U.S. military, as if they are playing a video game. It's all performative.
