We know you value local news and entertainment that is free, open, and independent. Producing high-quality, paywall-free content isn't free. It takes time, effort, and resources to keep you informed and entertained. Unlike corporate media, we don’t have deep-pocketed investors or big advertisers funding our work—we rely on you, our readers and listeners, to keep Radio Free Hub City running. We're literally running on a shoe-string budget, but keep working hard to provide as much news and entertainment as we can.
If just 5% of local area residents became paid supporters at only $5 per month, we could meet our fundraising goals and continue expanding our news coverage depth while continuing to provide free access for everyone. So, if you'd like to help us in our continuing quest to improve our coverage, please consider becoming a paying supporter.
Will you be one of the 5%?

James Kareen Day, 43, of Landover, Maryland, was sentenced by U.S. District Judge Theodore D. Chuang and will also serve five years of supervised release following his prison term. Day pleaded guilty to carrying out three armed robberies and four attempted armed robberies. In several of these incidents, he used a short-barrel shotgun to threaten employees and demand cash and property.
Authorities say Day stole money and valuables from businesses and individuals during the robberies. The case was investigated by the FBI and local police departments in the three affected counties. Officials emphasized that the crimes were part of a broader pattern of violence addressed through the federal Project Safe Neighborhoods (PSN) initiative.

In a time where local news media coverage seems to be disappearing, your contribution is more important than ever. While our in-depth articles are for supporting members only, we won’t put our core news content behind a paywall, because we believe access to news should be democratized, instead of access for only those who can afford it.
But keeping the lights on and taking the fight to local accountability takes resources. Your monthly subscription directly funds our public records requests, website hosting, and time spent analyzing local government and events so you don’t have to.
We are the only newsroom in Washington County with facts-first focus, locally owned, independent, while keeping our core news content free. Will you help us keep it that way?
The PSN program coordinates law enforcement and community partners to reduce violent crime and gun violence nationwide.

The case was prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Dawn Williams and Timothy Hagan.
