Common phenomenon. There's this unique legal quirk in Tennessee that has totally transformed Nashville's physical, social, and economic landscapes over the past two decades—and nobody but a precocious blogger/alt-weekly contributor/Twitter twerp/keyboard warrior cared to study it!

NEWS: The USAID official put on leave for disseminating two memos about Rubio's failure to push through life-saving foreign aid was in the process of writing a THIRD memo when fired. We obtained it. It's far more alarming than the first two. www.thebulwark.com/p/what-a-wee...

This is the second time USAID/State is punishing people revealing the truth that Marco is killing children. They're quite desperate to hide this fact, as if the reporters in Africa or court declarations are making it up.

I get the frustration, but substantively these are the most encouraging and valuable stories around right now. I want to read about people realizing Trump is bad every day. This is an obviously good thing that is happening and we need to make it happen more.

The infrastructure bill will come due on Tennessee’s sprawling roadways because our woefully low gas tax doesn’t cover the cost of maintaining all that asphalt. (And this is just state-owned roads, to say nothing of city streets and county roads!) fox17.com/news/local/2...
