A Bronx family lived without utilities for over 6 weeks after they were shut off without explanation.

The landlord, despite receiving severe violation notices, didn't fix the problem.

HPD couldn’t turn the utilities back on, so it issued the family a vacate order.

Los Angeles has just declared a state of emergency.

Not because of wildfires. Not because of riots. But because of an invasion by federal government troops.

We can see where this is going.

New in PN: The 1,287,923 defects in the Comey case ... so far

"Dismissal is probably the best result for the government, since it would spare the DOJ having its dirty laundry aired in court before getting spanked for having brought such a garbage case. But even so, it'd be very, very funny."

It's been 22 days since Adelita Grijalva was elected by the people of Arizona's seventh congressional district to represent them in Congress.

Mike Johnson still refuses to swear her in. At what point will political reporters start calling this a constitutional crisis?

So the BBC covers ReformUK so much due to their popularity in the polls.
However if the BBC and other media actually challenged their lies and overt racism they probably WOULDN'T HAVE the poll numbers they have.
All we get is his face and slogans plus a slant towards stories of migrants.

I don't think Putin can afford to admit that the war hasn't been a mistake&stop the war he cannot win.This’ll mean the end of his power.He needs a war that lasts- lasts until the end of his life

Is Putin ready to stop the war?That is the wrong question
The right question is:Can Putin stop the war?⤵️
