No one will ever call you with a fair offer to buy your home. It's an investment firm hoping to bypass the market, buy cheap, then rent your home out forever to help create more poor people.

~1,660 Afghans cleared by the U.S. Govt to resettle in the U.S. are having their flights canceled because Trump suspended the refugee program. Let me repeat—these are people already cleared through all security clearances.
And by the way, these aren't just Afghans, they're also Americans.

NEW: Ohio Gov. Mike DeWine did a bad thing. Then, he tried to talk his way around it.
At Law Dork today, I take on Ohio's new law allowing local law enforcement to charge up to $750 for public records video requests — things like bodycam, dashcam, or jail footage.

Lawyers say they suspect Harvey Weinstein has been deliberately mistreated in prison
According to Weinstein’s legal team, the disgraced movie producer has faced egregious conditions while jailed
