This past week, Yossi Sturman (name changed) was flying to Atlanta from Jackson, New Jersey. He had a return flight that same evening, but it was delayed before finally boarding.
Yossi had upgraded to Economy Plus, but once seated, a flight attendant asked if he’d switch so a mother and daughter could sit together. He wasn’t sure why they asked him, but he felt they saw a visibly Jewish passenger and assumed he’d agree — even though it meant giving up his upgrade.
He agreed and moved to a seat all the way in the back, right in front of an elderly couple.
Mid-flight, bad weather forced the plane, originally headed for Newark, to divert to Albany. After refueling, they were supposed to continue, but the flight was eventually canceled. At 11:30 p.m., passengers foun...
Baltimore, MD - July 10, 2025 - Emergency crews responded to a level one mass casualty incident involving as many as 15 people experiencing overdose symptoms in Penn-North.
Baltimore City fire and police officials said the city received an overdose call around 9:25 a.m. Thursday and that paramedics responded to the area of Pennsylvania and North avenues.
While treating a person experiencing an overdose, multiple others directed paramedics to additional patients. When the paramedics realized this was a larger emergency, the response was scaled up.
Baltimore Fire Chief James Wallace said as many as 15 people were hospitalized, five in critical condition — and that number is likely to change as crews find additional suspected overdose cases in the area. Multiple medic units are in th...
A federal judge in New Hampshire blocked President Donald Trump's executive order banning birthright citizenship and granted nationwide class certification status to all infants impacted by the order on Thursday.
U.S. District Judge Joseph LaPlante said that he will issue a written ruling by the end of the day further explaining his decision. The injunction also narrows down the scope of the class to infants, removing parents from the case.
In his order, LaPlante ruled that deprivation of citizenship, as held by the 14th Amendment, and changes in longstanding policy would create "irreparable harm."
Still, it is almost sure to be quickly appealed by the Trump administration. It comes after the Supreme Court reviewed the case earlier this year...

Annapolis, MD - July 10, 2025 - Dozens of advocates gathered in a webinar Wednesday to try to determine the impact of the possible loss of $125 million in federal aid to Maryland schools this year, part of $6.8 billion in education funding frozen just last week by the Trump administration.
They know this much: The news is not good.
“It’s really difficult times,” said Mary Gable, assistant state superintendent for student support and federal programs with the Maryland Department of Education, toward the end of Wednesday’s hourlong webinar. “We are concerned about finances. We are concerned … at the state level, at the local education level and at the community-based organization level.”
