The political left's intolerant behavior toward the current president is worse than anything Donald Trump has done.

As we gear up toward midterms in November, Americans have resumed a perennial conversation about political division and parties. A casual scroll through Facebook or Instagram will highlight the level of animosity and cruelty between some who are politically inclined.

Sun editorial board: We join other newspapers around the country to stand up for the credibility of America's free press, which is critical to our democracy.

The Republican Governors Group with their negative advertisements is no friend of Gov. Hogan. With Gov. Hogan's high popularity, Republicans should be running

The general consensus for months has been that Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican in a blue state, is a shoo-in to win a second term. But there are variables that aren’t being calculated.

The major significance in the midterm elections three months from now lies in the question of whether Democrats can seize control of the House of Representatives, where any presidential impeachment procedure must begin.

Cal Thomas: If President Trump lowers the rhetorical temperature, he might just add numbers to his support.

Winning Maryland’s governorship might come down to winning Baltimore County — and Republican Gov. Larry Hogan and Democratic nominee Ben Jealous are both focusing on the sprawling suburban county.

By no conventional definition can Ben Jealous be fairly described as a socialist.

Trump has known about the meddling since his election but it wasn’t until this past July 27 that he used a meeting of his most senior national security advisers to discuss any effort to protect the electoral process.

Republicans seem to have held on, barely, to a U.S. House seat near Columbus, Ohio, that they have occupied continuously since 1983.

Democrat Ben Jealous' campaign says he will win the election for Maryland governor because Donald Trump will motivate Democrats to go to the polls in a wave that incumbent Republican Gov. Larry Hogan can’t stop.

The Republican Governors Association is pounding Ben Jealous with attack ads — and has no plans to stop. if Jealous is hoping the Democratic Governors Association will return fire, he might be waiting a while.

Women are shut out of Maryland's congressional delegation. None are running for governor or attorney general, and the Republican woman running for comptroller is a major underdog. But on down ballot races, women are poised to make some major gains.

Maryland's U.S. senators Ben Cardin and Chris Van Hollen on Tuesday asked Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin to investigate a Russian investor's ties to a company that manages the state's election technology.

First-term Republican Gov. Larry Hogan opened a Baltimore campaign office Saturday on North Avenue and called the city “the heart and soul of our state.”

Where do today's extreme politics leave those of us that consider ourselves to be common sense middle? The answer seems to be emerging in a national movement called “Unite America.” This group has come a long way in a short time.

The Russians may indeed back the Democrats, as President Trump has said, in the 2018 midterms, says Jonah Goldberg.

A group of Maryland Democratic women call on Gov. Larry Hogan to support an effort by House Speaker Michael E. Busch to enshrine abortion rights in the state constitution.

Abortion rights opponents say it would be a waste of time and effort to pass a constitutional amendment affirming the right to an abortion in Maryland. In a practical sense, they have a point. But the symbolic value of such a step would be high.

The Trump administration's effort to expand short-term insurance attacks what's most important — and most popular — about the Affordable Care Act.

Kavanaugh's service in the Bush White House, a time he's described as formative to his judicial outlook, deserves close scrutiny.

President Trump says he is consulting with the NRA over whether it makes sense for a Texas company to publish downloadable blueprints for a 3D-printed gun.

Gov. Larry Hogan is popular, but so was former Gov. Bob Ehrlich when he lost his bid for reelection. So goes the favorite anecdote of voters certain to have previously lived our current gubernatorial contest. But are Marylanders really experiencing a case of electoral déjà vu?

It is an assumption about the nature of political parties that they must have a direction, and that direction must speak for most candidates and politicians within the party family. But why? Why can’t there be factions, as there most assuredly are in the Democratic Party?

Warren, of Massachusetts, joins former Vice President Joe Biden, Sen. Kamala Harris (California), Sen. Bernie Sanders (Vermont) and Sen. Cory Booker (New Jersey) as national political figures endorsing Jealous.

Instead of pining for what was, Democrats must figure out how to thrive in what is, says Leonard Pitts Jr.

For whatever reason, the MVA voter glitch didn't affect voters randomly. Some groups were hit more than others. Could that have made the difference in the razor-close Baltimore County executive race?

The ruling will allow the plaintiffs in the case — the attorneys general of Maryland and the District of Columbia — to proceed with their case, which says Trump has violated the Constitution's little-used emoluments clause.

Today, a cacophony of Republicans, Democrats and foreign allies are skewering your kowtowing to evil strongmen worldwide. It’s hard not to believe that Putin doesn’t have you compromised.

U.S. intelligence findings are not always accurate, or worth taking at immediate face value, says Cal Thomas.

If Hogan and Jealous only meet on stage twice, Maryland voters will have fewer opportunities to see the gubernatorial candidates go head-to-head than they had four years ago.

Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan was among those critical of President Trump's comments in Helsinki, and this has reignited a debate between some Republicans as to whether or not the governor should be supported (“Never Hogan”). But the debate misses many important points.

In Helsinki, we witnessed the self-immolation of Donald Trump, says Jules Witcover.

Maryland lawmakers have introduced two U.S. House bills seeking to better safeguard election systems following the disclosure that a state election software vendor had ties to a Russian investor.

Wednesday night, the Maryland Democratic Party sent out an email blast with the subject line: “FYI: Hidin' Hogan Afraid To Debate and Defend His Record.” C’mon now – this is the big Democratic strategy? To try to paint Mr. Hogan as being Trump-like by acting like Donald Trump? 

Ben Jealous could bankrupt Maryland with his costly single payer health care plan.

Trump tweets praise for pro-ICE resolution that Maryland Democrats call ‘sham’ and ‘political stunt’

Gov. Larry Hogan's business interests could theoretically pose conflicts of interest, but the situation isn't remotely comparable to President Donald Trump's.

Former Del. John A. Olszewski Jr. won by a slim margin, but the political impact is huge.
