Saturday marked the second day of increased security measures in Fells Point after violence last weekend that included a triple shooting. Baltimore police officers were making their presence felt by walking through the area. This comes after some business owners threatened to withhold property taxes from the city following a violent weekend. Those business owners said the increased police presence is not what they wanted.
Tensions over the recent violence in Fells Point boiled over Thursday night when Mayor Brandon Scott was a no-show for a community meeting on the problems. On Friday, Scott explained his absence to 11 News. Meanwhile, business owners are complaining about the police response planned for this weekend. Business owners said they aren't happy about the meeting, Scott not showing up nor the plan of action that begins on Friday night. One person even suggested they change the name to "Fort Fells Point."

Separate bombs hit two minivans in a mostly Shiite neighborhood in the Afghan capital Saturday, killing at least seven people and wounding six others, the Interior Ministry said.

Belgium, second favourites to win the tournament behind France, begin their campaign against Russia back in the stadium where they won the third-fourth-place plate match at the 2018 World Cup.

Two House Democrats disclosed this week that their smartphone data was secretly obtained by the Trump Justice Department as part of an effort to uncover the source of leaks related to the investigation of Russian-related election interference. It was a stunning revelation that one branch of government was using its power to gather private information on another, a move that carried echoes of President Richard Nixon during Watergate.

President Joe Biden’s nominee to oversee federal lands in the U.S. West is facing Republican pressure to withdraw over her ties to environmental activists convicted of spiking trees to sabotage a national forest timber sale more than 30 years ago. U.S. Sen. John Barrasso, the ranking Republican on the Senate energy committee, said Friday that U.S. Bureau of Land Management nominee Tracy Stone-Manning should be disqualified for her collaboration with “extreme environmental activists.” As a 23-year-old graduate student at the University of Montana, Stone-Manning sent a letter to federal officials in 1989 saying spikes had been inserted into trees in Idaho’s Clearwater National Forest.

There’s something unusual going on in the labor market: US workers are gaining leverage over employers. Recovery from the pandemic has been weird, the result of a collision between public health measures, economic relief provided by governments and central banks, and social changes inspired by the experience of enduring coronavirus. This has resulted in a labor market that seems at once too hot and too cold: The high number of long-term unemployed, for example, suggests a very loose labor market, while the number of firms who say they can’t fill jobs suggests a tight one.
