Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:21:29 GMT

Maryland Gov. Wes Moore said Virginia Gov. Glenn Youngkin’s recent criticism of the FBI amid its investigation into former-President Donald Trump’s handling of sensitive government documents should play a role in which state is picked for the new FBI headquarters building.“From my understanding, I’m the only chief executive of the two states that actually says, I believe in the mission of the FBI and I don’t believe it should be defunded — the only one,” Moore told WTOP’s DMV Download podcast.In the wake of the indictment against Trump, the FBI has come under heavy criticism of Republicans in Congress — some of whom are threatening to pull funding for a new FBI building.So far, Youngkin hasn’t joined the chorus of GOP members seeking to defund the agency. But the Virginia governor did criticize the FBI when it searched Mar-a-Lago last summer. In a tweet, he said, “selective, politically motivated actions have no place in our demo...

Why researchers are asking more Black patients to join DC lung cancer clinical trials

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:21:29 GMT

Cancer researchers are tracking a deadly trend: a boost in new lung cancer cases among Black people in D.C. Oftentimes when doctors discover those cases, patients are in the mid-to-late stages, according to the American Lung Association.The data has spurred the nonprofit to step up a new campaign to enroll more African American patients in clinical trials as a treatment option, said Deborah Brown, the group’s chief mission officer.“Black Americans deserve to benefit from the cutting-edge trials that are being offered,” Brown said. “It’s really important for us to start talking about the importance of screening with a doctor.”African Americans in D.C. have more than a 130% chance of being diagnosed with the illness compared to white people, and Black people are less likely to receive surgical treatment once diagnosed, according to the nonprofit’s 2022 report.While more white people are surviving the disease, fewer Black people are. Researchers report that the five-year su...

Tories take one more shot at Partygate watchdog Sue Gray before she joins Labour

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 21:21:29 GMT

LONDON — Sue Gray broke Whitehall’s strict impartiality rules as she discussed leaving the civil service to become opposition leader Keir Starmer’s chief of staff, according to the British government.In a parting shot at Gray, a long-serving official who led a damning probe into Boris Johnson’s administration before making the leap to Labour, Cabinet Office Minister Jeremy Quin said Gray had committed a “prima facie” breach of the Civil Service Code in her discussions about the job.“It is right that we maintain the principle of confidentiality with respect to individual personnel matters,” Quin said. “However, I am sure the House will agree with me that the facts in this case, when compared to the rules and guidance in place for civil servants, speak for themselves, and that there is a public interest in ensuring that the Civil Service Code is adhered to.”Gray’s appointment has raised eyebrows in Whitehall — which prizes th...
