I prepared several closely-related lists of U.S. cities.
Following is one of the lists:

Baltimore, MD
Boston, MA
Brooklyn, NY
Chicago, IL
Los Angeles, CA
New Orleans, LA
Philadelphia, PA

What is this list?
(I may post another of the related lists as a hint if nobody gets this.)

Cheers,
James

Here is another of the lists. If the puzzle seems too obscure or too hard, please make some wild guesses so I don't feel lonely!

Baltimore, MD
Boston, MA
Charleston, SC
Chicago, IL
Cleveland, OH
Detroit, MI
Houston, TX
Los Angeles, CA
New Orleans, LA
Philadelphia, PA
Phoenix, AZ
St. Louis, MO

This reminds me of GCHQ's "read my mind" puzzles. No hook. Sorry,
James. But to oblige you, here is my wild guess:

Seattle, WA

They're all cities that Trump has threatened to send National Guard
troops to. Well, in the case of LA, already has. But it's missing
several cities: Washington (already has), Seattle, and Portland. And it
only works if you count Brooklyn as all of New York.

I'm glad to see some answers. The puzzle is too hard, but I was afraid
more info would make it too easy.
Anyway, here is another one of the related lists:

New York, NY
