New Skyscrapers? Ball Arena Redevelopment Could Hinge On Changes To Legally Protected Mountain Views

After former President Donald Trump’s very weird week, more than 400 doctors and health professionals are questioning his mental and physical fitness to serve, and calling for him to release his medical records. The development—which Mother Jones is the first to report—comes about a week after the group Doctors for Harris first released the letter, with a little more than half the 448 signatures it has now.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s plan to give out $1 million prize to registered voters in swing states as he stumps for former President Donald Trump has raised concerns and could be illegal, some election law experts suggest. Every day until the Nov. 5 election, Musk, the world’s richest man, plans on giving a million-dollar prize to people who sign a petition in support of the First and Second Amendments of the Constitution, which guarantee freedom of speech and the right to bear arms, among other rights.

Mayor Mike Johnston has responded to the big changes City Council members want him to make to his proposed 2025 budget by offering up $7.3 million in reshuffled spending, including a boost to the city’s rent assistance program. That’s roughly 25% of the value of budget changes council members asked for. In a letter sent to council members Friday, the mayor outlined areas where he was willing to compromise with them after council members requested $29.1 million in changes earlier this month. The mayor proposed $1.76 billion in general fund spending next year, just a 0.6% increase over the city’s 2024 spending in the wake of slowing sales tax growth. Johnston has earmarked an additional $3 million for the city’s Temporary Rent and Utility Assistance program, or TRUA.

During her time representing Wyoming in Congress, Liz Cheney held an “A” rating for her voting record from a leading anti-abortion group, Susan B. Anthony Pro-life America. Before leaving the Senate to become Vice President, Kamala Harris scored an “F.” But that wide gap on a pivotal election issue hasn’t stopped Cheney from campaigning for Harris to keep Donald Trump from returning to the Oval Office. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] And at a Harris campaign event Monday in Malvern, Penn.—a town in a key suburban voting district in a crucial battleground state—Cheney explicitly carved out a path for her fellow “pro-life” Republicans to reject Trump. “There are many of us around the country who have been pro-life but who have watched what’s going on in our states since the Dobbs decision and have watched state legislatures put in place laws that are resulting in women not getting the care they need,” Cheney said.

Same socialist who wrecked the island in the first place, still on the job creating blackouts and demonstrating incompetence at age 92. Life is good for Castro oligarchs.

I’m old enough to remember when the Times, although leftist, had a certain gravitas and some self-respect.
