• President Obama’s former bodyguard is looking to unseat U.S. Sen. Ben Cardin.
• The Washington County Volunteer Fire and Rescue Association has been keeping for itself 20 percent of the gaming money the state requires the county to pass on to the association instead of giving it to the local volunteer fire and rescue companies. That’s according to a yearlong Herald-Mail investigation.
• A roundup of Supreme Court case roundups in the roundup.
• Wading into social media in the workplace and labor laws.
• The Baltimore Police Department is investigating arson cases involving Molotov cocktails.
• The Sopranos, baby daddies, strip clubs, mob bosses — it’s all here in this complaint.
