Greg Abbott and his billionaire mega-donors know private school vouchers are unpopular in Texas.
So they’ve paid for a poll-tested rebrand to sell their scam.
Here’s how to debunk their “school choice” slogan in 60 seconds…

The NCAA had to be shamed like four years ago to finally let women basketballers use the phrase “March Madness.” So, I’m saying: I agree with Ryan.

I appreciate Idaho Dept of Fish & Game sending out this flyer explaining how the Boise foothills fire affects deer, rehabilitation measures & why recreational closures are necessary.
I know so many love to hike the foothills but we all need to give wildlife space this winter.

as an abundance guy I really love the CFPB because Senator Warren took great care to set it up to be a high performing public agency, exempt from a lot of the standard rules that bog down other public entities
Right-wing figures like Elon detest the CFPB because it is an administrative success story, an agency that has returned billions of dollars to consumers from the scam economy. The hatred dates to the agency's founding. For the history, see harvardlawreview.org/print/vol-13...

The awesome thing about driving a car on the redesigned 11th and Grove Streets downtown is that you feel like a guest on it. The environment wasn’t built for your car. The lanes are narrow. Big sidewalk/bike lanes. Curb extensions. You naturally go slower. More attentive.
We should do more of it.

I hate to say it but I mourned the loss of what Merritts was in the 2000s a long time ago. Never should have remodelled that place. Will always have fond memories!
This iconic Boise restaurant could be torn down on State Street and rebuilt in the name of progress. The towering, weathered sign outside disappeared weeks ago. Now the entire building could be turned to rubble.

"If we don’t control housing costs, we are robbing the next generation...Homeowners can effectively hoard opportunity and drive up the value of their asset by suddenly being very concerned about traffic and parking when it comes time to welcome new people to our community."
"There is palpable and justified anger among young Americans about their diminished housing opportunities. Without a stable affordable home, young people find it difficult to thrive in society, to date, marry, start a family, and pursue their dreams."
Op-Ed: The Housing Crisis Helped Decide the 2024 Election - We-Ha | West Hartford News
West Hartford resident Jason Wang writes that while the town has been a leader in Connecticut on housing, he offers some suggestions on how we can do more.
