I would love to know from local media — if rare legislation favoring Airbnb isn’t a time to examine campaign donations and lobbying activity — what is?

And when is it relevant when a powerful congressman’s son is working on behalf of corporations lobbying our local governments?

Shockingly bad journalism not to mention Morelle’s kid is the lobbyist for Airbnb @13wham.bsky.social.

Not to mention there are a lot of people in favor of a registry - it’s like me v Airbnb, county and one owner in this story.

Yikes.

Also, this headline. Monroe is considering doing the OPPOSITE.

The legislation is opt-out legislation.

I’ve emailed the news director — they have caused a lot of harm.

Trans people suffer the most violence in prison. PREA was never enough but it’s just disgusting to roll it back.

The boat was split in half. 9 men were dead. 2 more clung to a floating piece of wreckage and tried desperately to flip it over for 41 minutes straight. There was no possible way they were going anywhere.

Then they were killed in cold blood by the U.S. military.

By law, the Department of Justice CAN go to another grand jury and try again. But even if they succeed (a big IF in this case), the DOJ will have handed Letitia James even more evidence for her vindictive prosecution motion to dismiss the charges. And that motion was already quite strong.

More grift. Trump's AI "Czar" — the guy in charge of this Administration's AI policy — is reported to have hundreds of investments in AI-related ventures.

This is just the latest example of the Trump Administration using its power to benefit themselves and their inner-sanctum of billionaires.
