I can’t read these and think about my adolescent and teen/college years from roughly 2005-2014. If this had happened back then it would be an international scandal.

Seems clear that Pulte 1) broke the law while going on fishing expeditions for baseless mortgage fraud claims 2) immediately removed everyone who tried to investigate that wrong-doing.

Two things:
1. This applies somewhat to me. I don’t expect any representative except state representatives with VERY small or intimate fiefdoms to really give much a true shit about individual constituents as much as a community as a whole.

This has been such a sad story to watch and with the assault on higher education by the fascists destroying America and the dual problems of both affordability and a declining birth rate (which is good and bad), we’re going to be seeing more stories like this.

there's nothing to be said. Dems did the wrong thing. Some people are going to die either way and it's important not to be complicit in the murder.

The background here of the judge waiting to impose this in the final minutes of the deadline day is so popcorn worthy.
Dems will almost certainly flip one seat on Utah's new congressional map if it stands.
It creates a safely blue Harris+24 seat in Salt Lake City, replacing a GOP gerrymander that split the SLC area four ways to ensure every seat was dark red.

There are 1,700 ballots that need signature confirmation. That is enough to change the election.

Cleveland the city is actually really great. I first visited at 16 in 2007 when my grandpa had a specialized surgery at the Cleveland Clinic and I thought it was cool as hell.

Cleveland's appeal is overshadowed by job scarcity, political issues, weather, and poor self-promotion, despite its affordability and quality of life.
