Disguise-wearing technician charged in nursing home murder of millionaire philanthropist

A 22-year-old Maryland man, Maurquise Emillo James (aka Malquazy), is charged with first-degree murder for allegedly disguising himself with wigs and a mask to enter a Potomac nursing home and fatally shoot 87-year-old philanthropist Robert Fuller Jr.; he also fired at a Maryland state trooper during a traffic stop. Investigators say he had access to the building as a night-shift medical technician, and surveillance video, a tip, and other evidence linked him to the crime, with shell casings matching the weapon used in the trooper shooting; motive remains unclear.

Trump Blames Local Officials for Potomac Sewage Spill, Says Federal Aid Possible If They Ask Politely

President Trump blamed Maryland, D.C., and Virginia leaders for a massive Potomac River sewage spill and said the federal government would help only if local leaders ask politely, as Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and others push back against the idea that federal responsibility lies with them. The incident involved more than 200 million gallons of wastewater after a 60-year-old sewer line collapsed in Montgomery County, with DC Water and the EPA involved in the response. The dispute centers on accountability for the Piedmont sewer project and federal funding and authority, with Trump criticizing Moore and Moore insisting the federal government has long had responsibility for the project.

Red-light scratch-off nets Maryland man $100,000 prize

A Maryland man, while stopped at a traffic light outside a 7-Eleven, bought a $10 scratch-off (50X the Cash) and scratched it in his car. A 10X multiplier turned a $10,000 prize into $100,000, verified by the Maryland Lottery. He plans to use the money for household expenses and a family vacation, and kept the win private from others. The piece also notes a separate large New Jersey lottery win by Michael Weirsky, illustrating how fortunes can change quickly.

Trump pledges FEMA-led federal response to Potomac spill

President Donald Trump announced FEMA will play a key role coordinating the response to a Potomac River sewage spill that dumped more than 200 million gallons of wastewater, criticizing Maryland Gov. Wes Moore and arguing the federal government must step in. Maryland officials say DC Water is routing the flow and that the EPA’s participation is a point of contention, with repairs potentially taking up to 10 months. The situation comes as FEMA faces funding constraints amid a partial DHS shutdown, though most disaster aid can continue for now with about $7 billion in its relief fund.

Moore's Maryland redistricting push tests his national ambitions

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore is pushing a redistricting plan to redraw the state’s congressional map to bolster his national profile, but he faces stiff resistance from Maryland Senate President Bill Ferguson and other Democrats. The battle highlights intra-party tensions, with critics arguing Moore’s tactics are weak and could jeopardize his broader ambitions, while supporters say the map effort is essential for his political future. A looming February filing deadline and leverage attempts by the Black Caucus add to a high-stakes showdown that could shape Moore’s image ahead of a potential 2028 run.

Jeffries bets big on redistricting as House control hangs in the balance

Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries is leading a high-stakes, multi-state push against the GOP’s mid-decade redistricting, pledging tens of millions of dollars and legal firepower to redraw districts in California, Virginia, and Maryland to blunt Republican gains and protect or expand Democrats’ House chances. The effort, framed as a central 2026 strategy that could shape 2028, includes pressuring Maryland lawmakers over a map and resisting courtroom challenges; Republicans have their own redistricting moves in play. The push underscores how redistricting has become a core battleground in national politics.
