Let’s not sugarcoat it: It’s been a terrible few months for many federal workers and, by extension, many Marylanders and their families. The state faces an uncertain future where its most reliable industry — the federal government — no longer feels like it’s on solid footing. In response, local leaders and state officials are trying to help workers find stability and chart a new path forward. “We want you to stay,” Comptroller Brooke Lierman said in an interview.

The Washington Commanders football team announced plans Monday to leave its home in Prince George’s County to return to Washington, D.C. — where a new stadium would be built on the site of RFK Stadium. The impending move represents a victory for officials in the District of Columbia, who wrested back control of the RFK land from the federal government to woo the NFL team. And it’s a loss for Prince George’s County and the state of Maryland, though officials are painting it as not so bad.

As Moore sells Maryland to Asia, Trump’s tariffs cast shadow

1 month ago | thebaltimorebanner.com | Lee Sanderlin

TOKYO — Gov. Wes Moore spent his last four days promoting Maryland’s burgeoning quantum computing industry to Japanese investors only to have President Trump’s ever-changing tariff policies cast a shadow over an otherwise upbeat trip. “It’s really difficult that just in the days that we have been here in Japan, we’ve probably heard three different announcements,” the governor said, adding that a lack of consistent trade policy made international relations and deal making difficult.
