Here's an inside look at what happened leading up to Rep. Andy Harris' debate crashout.
Harris' temperature started rising during the debate and boiled over in a press conference. He invited reporters to ask questions.

Congressman Harris * invited * reporters to interview him. They all had their cameras and phones rolling and visible to the congressman. There was no expectation of privacy here. As soon as he spoke, he consented to being recorded.

Not long ago, it looked like Sparrows Point would be a cradle for US offshore wind. Political winds have turned since then, and this week Trump visited the shipyard to herald replacement of wind turbine manufacturing with nuclear subs. w @HayesGardner:

The move highlights a stark reversal of fortune for Maryland’s offshore wind industry, a favorite of the state’s Democratic leadership but a longtime punching bag for Republican President Donald Trump.

Wind turbines are out. Submarines are in.
Five years after a historic Sparrows Point shipyard was identified as a cradle of wind energy, that land will instead be used for an even bigger weapons manufacturing facility, creating 3,100 jobs.

A beloved Maryland creek brimmed with dead fish this week — thousands of them.
The fish kill comes in the middle of a state lawsuit against Kilby Farms, a dairy operation in Cecil County, over repeated discharges of manure and other harmful liquids into the waterway.
Barely a week after our story on a northeast Maryland fight between neighbors and a dairy farmer over pollution of a beloved trout stream, the water again brimmed with dead fish — almost 11,000 of them.

The dairy operation is due for a hearing later this month in a Cecil County courtroom, part of the state’s case over repeated manure discharges at the property. Read the original story on the farmer, a fisherman and the fight over Basin Run here:

In 2024, Gov. Wes Moore pushed a bill to cut regulatory reviews for data centers, policy he said would "supercharge" the industry in Maryland. Since then, data centers have become a political mine field, and Moore is changing course. w/@WintrodeBrenda: thebanner.com/politics-power…

Governors are in a tough spot on data centers. Here's how Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is navigating one of the country's biggest political issues.
