Baltimore, MD - Jan. 21, 2026 - Maryland's top lawmakers announced legislation Monday to ban dynamic pricing at grocery stores, a practice that could allow retailers to charge different prices to customers based on algorithmic calculations and demand.
Governor Wes Moore, along with leaders from both chambers of the Maryland General Assembly, unveiled the bill at BD Provisions, a bulk grocery store in Anne Arundel County.
"This is not a fair market, this is a stacked deck. This is about profit, profit squeezing," said Moore. "Profit that's extracted from people who are seeing their bills increase and who are struggling to afford basic goods..

Baltimore, MD - Jan. 20, 2026 - While the Chanukah menorahs may have been put away, the warmth of the candles was more vibrant than ever at the L’Chaim Adult Day Center during a lively post-Chanukah candle-making workshop hosted by the JCS Memory Café.
This wasn't just a therapeutic session; it was a joyful, high-energy afternoon filled with laughter and shared stories. Participants dove into the tactile fun of hand-rolling beeswax sheets in traditional blue and white, enjoying a "crunch and roll" sensory experience that was as playful as it was grounding. The room buzzed with energy as participants engaged in this heat-free craft, making the art of candle-making a centerpiece for natural conversation and the building of new, supportive friendships.&nbs...
Baltimore, MD - Jn. 20, 2026 - Former Republican Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan said he will not seek a return to the Government House this year, ending speculation about a potential challenge to Democratic Gov. Wes Moore.
Hogan made the announcement in a guest commentary published by The Baltimore Sun, writing that he would not enter the race despite continued interest from supporters and political observers.
Although Hogan never formally declared his candidacy, recent polling suggested Moore would have entered the contest with an advantage. A hypothetical matchup conducted by Gonzales Research and Media Services showed Moore leading Hogan 52% to 38%, with 10% of respondents undecided.
At the same time, Hogan continues to draw strong marks from many Marylanders for his time in office. A May...

Baltimore, MD - Jan. 20, 2026 - As quickly as it arrived, state health data shows that Maryland may now be on a downward trend of a “severe” influenza surge occurring over the winter holidays and early January.
But public health officials say now is not the time for Marylanders to let up on protective measures and public health practices, as the season is not over yet. There have already been 14 flu-related deaths in Maryland so far this year, already doubling last year’s death toll, with weeks left in the current flu season. Last year’s season did not peak until February.
“We’re seeing a bad flu season,” said Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association.
“It’s not too late to get your flu shot&h...
