"Valenzuela explained to me that she lives with her family at one of the two properties purchased by the soup kitchen. It’s an act of solidarity with other residents, she said, and also to help keep tabs on a place that used to be a trouble spot."
South Tucson Mayor Roxy Valenzuela rejects calls to increase policing as a response to rising homelessness.

“Sometimes the best people to offer those resources are not the cops — it can be a community member or a clinician,” she says.

But step back and look at the machinery and you see how sturdy this media/WH infrastructure is. If they want to make a humiliating Democratic scandal the biggest story in the country, they can do it. Dems who think it'll go away if they "win" with local media are going to lose.

I realize there is no plan and there is no one who will hold these people to account for saying stuff like this, but what is even the pretend case for a bustling middle class by April? It ain’t happening.

What is the actual plan for this? AI magically starts producing new industries that don’t exist in the next three months? The unemployed who have never done construction work start doing construction work? Nothing is pointing in this direction, except for elite spending on tennis seats and gambling.

This is the world Justice Kavanaugh sanctioned in his foolish & unnecessary concurring opinion to the Court’s order in Noem v Vasquez Perdomo. His hopes of cleaning up that blunder with a plaintive footnote in last week’s concurring opinion in Trump v. Illinois, demonstrates his staggering naïveté.
