#Baltimore Mayor #BrandonScott invested in 42 summer youth camps, 29 literacy programs, extended the rec center hours to 11 p.m, planned block parties, opened the pools for safe fun, & opened several schools up for summer classes. Crime is down 62%. 🔥🔥 www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
Baltimore is seeing the city’s fewest homicides in 50 years. Here’s why.
Multiple people have taken credit for the historic drop that mirrors a national decrease in violent crimes. Baltimore Mayor Brandon Scott says it’s due to a community-based approach to gun violence.

Everything that’s happened over the past six months has been a response to an imaginary crisis. There is no immigrant invasion. No trade crisis. No scientific or governance crisis. Just people completely high off their own supply trying to fundamentally reorder society. None of this had to happen.

The military isn’t being employed to carry out an immigration policy.
The immigration policy, and especially the way the administration is choosing to carry it out, is an excuse to call out the military.

Here, for anyone looking for the original story, and having problems with Google (maybe Google search bots just can't with bee loss?) www.cbsnews.com/news/bee-dea...
Millions of bees have died this year. It's "the worst bee loss in recorded history," one beekeeper says.
Bees play a key role in the U.S. food supply, and the mass deaths could jeopardize that.
