The Port of Baltimore said in a post on X that vessel traffic was suspended until further notice, but trucks were still being processed at its terminals. It said it would discharge cargo destined for Baltimore in other ports nearby, but Maesrk warned customers that could mean delays. Closer to the Midwest than any other port on the East Coast, Baltimore is a major hub for vehicles, containers and commodities. Baltimore ranks first among US ports for autos and light trucks, handling a record 850,000 vehicles last year. While many of the 30,000 to 35,000 cars and trucks that used the Key Bridge daily can be rerouted through the two nearby tunnels, that will cause traffic delays.

They're seeking ways to make money without running afoul of SAG-AFTRA, the actors' union. Some are already members of the actors' guild, SAG-AFTRA, which began welcoming influencers in 2021, while many others are hoping to join as they make more progress in their careers. "The implicit message from the actors' guild is: We're the gatekeepers of the career you want. "It was at that point I decided it might just be better to completely shift away from that kind of content," he told Insider in an interview . Aragon added that he's told studios that he's withdrawing his services indefinitely and might resume once the labor stoppages have ended.

☆ Democrats try to pre-empt the GOP's 'soft on crime' attacks. It may not work.

The rush to flash pro-cop credentials shows that Democrats anticipated a fresh wave of Republican attacks on crime and policing that are landing in House, Senate and state-level races. During the 2020 election, then-President Donald Trump warned voters that Democrats would be soft on crime and endanger communities. His aides said that the line of attack motivated base Republican voters and helped swing voters — particularly Latino voters in Florida and Texas — in the GOP’s direction. But some Democrats have decided the best answer this year is silence: Polls show crime just isn't a good issue for their party. Many Democratic candidates continue to focus on policy areas where more voters trust Democrats than Republicans to do a better job, including abortion, education and protecting democracy.
