Democratic governors may offer a path forward for a party out of power in Washington
SUMMARY: Democrats are out of power in Washington but hold 23 governors' seats, including in five of the seven presidential battlegrounds Donald Trump swept last year. Some Democratic activists see that slate as the party's best counter to the Republican president and evidence the party is not in as much disarray at it might sometimes seem. U.S. Rep. Mikie Sherrill is leaving the House minority to run for New Jersey governor. Sherill says the statewide job matters because governors have to get things done to improve people's lives. Sitting Democratic governors have won minimum wage increases, expanded Medicaid insurance coverage and shored up abortion rights. The question is whether Democrats can scale those victories to federal elections.

Mother of 2 missing children reindicted with murder after 11 years of psychiatric treatment
SUMMARY: A Maryland woman with a long history of severe mental illness has been rearrested and charged with killing two of her children. They went missing in 2014 as toddlers and have never been found. Prosecutors say Catherine Hoggle was released from a state-run psychiatric hospital last month. After her release, a grand jury reindicted her on two counts of first-degree murder, according to the Montgomery County State’s Attorney’s Office. She was arrested Friday. Hoggle had been charged with murder previously in 2017 but the charges were dropped after the state failed to restore her mental competency within five years.
