At the Ward 8 for a New Mayor rally last Saturday, Commissioner Angela Conley said the county's been trying to work with the mayor on homelessness for seven years and he's shut them out.

I think being allowed to delete text messages that are "transitory" is getting causation a bit backwards.

I wonder if some deep investigative reporting could figure out how much she could have paid each of these 50 children.

People who bike commute are *not* differentially likely to be drawn from the economically privileged. Full fucking stop.

Horizontal bar-graph showing walking and bicycling to work by household income: 2008-2012, based on data from the US Census run American Community Survey. Green bars show percentages walking that are highest for the lowest household income groups, and lowest for those in the highest income brackets. Similarly, orange bars show the same pattern for biking to work.

Did I miss any updates on the investigation into the motive of Charlie Kirk’s killer? It feels like that just disappeared as a story, which is strange considering his exaltation within GOP and making his murder into a national event. I’d think we’d be getting hearing about it frequently
