Longtime Maryland aide Anthony McCarthy dies after battling kidney disease
Longtime Maryland political aide, strategist, journalist and radio host Anthony McCarthy has died following a battle with kidney disease, WJZ has learned. He was 57 years old. McCarthy spoke candidly about his k idney disease diagnosis with WJZ in 2023 while waiting for a kidney transplant. He was a fixture in Baltimore politics as the spokesperson for mayors Shelia Dixon, Stephanie Rawlings Blake and Catherine Pugh. McCarthy also served with Congressman Kweisi Mfume and the late Congressman Elijah Cummings. "I remember running around City Hall," McCarthy told WJZ in 2023. "I remember running all around Baltimore when I had so much energy and now I can't even walk." McCarthy began his career as a writer with the Afro-American newspaper and was host of "The Anthony McCarthy Show" on WEAA radio. The station (WEAA) is planning a tribute of remembrance to honor him at 5 p.m. on Monday. "Anthony was the epitome of loyalty, principles and hope," Congressman Mfume said in a statement. "He never allowed the coarse nature of others to deprive him of his faith in God or his belief in the inherent nature of good in all people. Optimism and determination coexisted in his being. I will miss his trust and wise counsel. He was a friend until the end." According to The Baltimore Banner, McCarthy had been on dialysis for four years and was hoping for a new kidney. McCarthy was raised in Virginia and attended Eastern Mennonite University and Howard University before moving to Maryland in the mid-1990s, according to the Banner. "I want to live" In 2023, politicians and friends put on a fundraiser called"Love Fest" in Ellicott City. McCarthy was waiting for a kidney at an assisted living facility in Virginia.

The War and Treaty reflect on their love story and journey in the music industry
Michael and Tanya Trotter, the powerhouse husband-and-wife duo known as The War and Treaty, are back with their fourth studio album, "Plus One," released on Valentine's Day. The couple's music blends country, R&B, and gospel influences. Last month, the Trotters took the stage in Nashville for their first-ever performances with an orchestra, playing three nights with the Nashville Symphony. "It's something supernatural," Tanya said about singing with Michael. "But before we start singing together, there's a prayer ... We grab hands and it's just Michael and I, and I say, 'God, please let people see you and not see us. Let them feel your love.'" The War and Treaty's road to success The duo's journey in music started at a music festival in Maryland, where Tanya was immediately captivated by Michael. "It was called the Love Fest. He performed, and I was smitten," Tanya said, although Michael remembers it differently. "Tanya ignored me," he joked. They married in 2011, but it wasn't until three years later that they started singing together. Their path to success wasn't easy as they faced challenges both in their personal lives and careers. Michael, a U.S. Army veteran who saw combat in Iraq, struggled with PTSD, while Tanya battled depression and suicide attempts. Despite these hardships, the couple found strength in their relationship and in their music. Tanya's own experience with the music industry wasn't without its challenges. Having had a promising career in music, she walked away from the industry due to its pressures. "Once you're 17, you're bright-eyed, and then you get into the business of music. And it becomes, 'Your little pantsuit isn't enough. Put on a mini skirt. Or, 'Let's do this kinda song because that's what's on the charts,"' she said. Even so, Tanya and Michael find strength in their music. Tanya admits that their challenges are part of what makes their sound so powerful. "It's the ups and downs. It's the suicide attempts. It's the depression. All that stuff that I know somebody in that audience is feeling or has felt," she said. Their unique blend of country, R&B, and gospel influences helped them find their place in the music world. Michael credits the blues as a guiding force, drawing inspiration from legends like James Brown and Ray Charles. "This is where the War and Treaty should exist," Michael said, reflecting on their musical journey. They struggled to find a home in R&B or gospel, but said the country music world embraced them. They toured with Chris Stapleton and sang with the Brothers Osborne on the CMA Awards. Now, The War and Treaty are focused on their legacy. "I want our story to end with being healing agents," Michael said. Tanya adds, "I want it to end with a legacy of love. I'm just foolish enough to believe that love is the answer."
