btw as a resident of some of the worst parts of town, I think a stronger police presence could calm things down, as well more financial and social attention.
Trump is not doing that with DC: he's making a dog-n-pony show of the best hoods, leaving the poor to suffer alone

I’m a crime writer who lived in the worst parts of the East Bay. Always thought the problems was poverty and those who were trapped by it.
I’ll point out the fanciest place, 4th Str in Berkeley, which depends on wealth exclusivity

The legal system is an attempt at justice in an imperfect world. A clearcut crime will result in a clear sentence; a crime with doubt can be haggled in the courts.
It doesn't matter how severe it is either, there could be a clear DUI or an unclear murder. That's why courts are so labyrinthine

Watch: Trump puts Washington, DC, police under federal control, deploys National Guard Trump in a social media post on Sunday declared that "the Homeless" in Washington, D.C., will "have to move out."

This won’t address what people who might approve of this: their perception of city life. It’s a message of fascism

Without knowing exactly what Cuomo is talking about, it sounds like he wants to get rid of rent-control under the guise of helping poor people

Bud Light certainly booted the post campaign (I almost used their 2-for-1 coupon).

What you take from beer politics is up to you, including ignoring the largest marketing disasters ever.
As for the reason you referenced, Dems were supposed to embrace Bud Light? How would I do that?
Also, I've listened to a corp sales guy describe how his CO managed a huge political fauxpas. 2/

conclusion is that the people behind the decline, including beer buyers who now drink something else, are horrible. That's unlikely to get the ex-Bud Light drinkers to come back.
The people involved with sales or organizing won't be as frank as I am: I'm sure I will regret it too. 2/

While I am wary of incurring a stranger's wrath, I'll mention a case which you might want to consider, Bud Light. With a single can and Insta post with a trans influencer, the brand went from 1st in sales to 3.
If you are not in the bev industry, sales/marketing, or pol organizing, then an easy 1/

So Much for the β€˜Best Health-Care System in the World’ Republicans used to trumpet the innovation of the American medical sector. Now they’re taking a meat axe to it.

The GOP has β€œmostly stopped singing the praises of American health-care innovation,” @jonathanchait argues. β€œIndeed, they are taking a meat axe to it, slashing medical-research funding while elevating quacks and charlatans to positions of real power”:

Btw it’s not that Owens is repeating a horrible fabrication: she is now vulnerable to a Sandy Hook settlement that the Macrons will take to the financial limit. Also unlike Jones, Owens has lost conservative supporters, so won’t be able to fundraise like before

Meanwhile in North Carolina, a mother and father have been charged with felonies for letting their kids walk 10 minutes away from their apartment. But Piedmonter here will probably get his license back instead of being forced to take the 33 bus for life for his crime.
