And to think we could have had a sane, serious government run by an intelligent person who would have acted in the best interests of Americans, and not Vladimir Putin.

Not a legal scholar, but my urban geography brain noticed the Dear Colleague letter cited Village of Arlington Heights v. Metro Housing Devt Corp (1977), saying zoning with discriminatory impacts was OK if there was no proof of "intent". Isn't that the reverse of what this buffoon *thinks* it says?

Is anyone else wondering if Tr*mp thinks the Gaza Strip is like the Vegas Strip? Like, maybe a "strip" without casinos is too hard for him to comprehend? www.nytimes.com/live/2025/02...

Only a few of these #climatechange links on the US #DoT site still work tonight. Most go to the default "results not found". 😩
