Thirty-two-year-old Adrian Boafo just crushed it in Maryland’s 5th District, winning the Democratic nomination with a staggering 90% of the vote — a landslide that proves he’s got broad, cross-demographic support. With longtime Rep. Steny Hoyer retiring, this is a big deal for Democrats, and now Boafo’s focus turns to the general election, where he’ll face whoever the GOP picks. The momentum’s already there — can he turn it into a November win?

Baltimore’s Fells Point is bracing for another summer of late-night chaos as city officials roll out their fourth annual safety plan to curb massive weekend gatherings—complete with youth curfews, barricades, and extra police patrols. This year, they’re doubling down on prevention by offering constructive summer programs for teens, hoping to redirect energy away from loud parties and illegal activities. Residents are split: some applaud the visible police presence but demand year-round enforcement, not just seasonal fixes. Last weekend alone, eight arrests—including assaults and open-container citations—underscore the urgency. With Labor Day still looming, officials are eyeing an extended crackdown. The tension? Balancing safety with the neighborhood’s vibrant, communal spirit—while protecting local businesses and keeping Fells Point welcoming for all.
