Evict...
A federal judge vacated a nationwide freeze on evictions that was put in place by federal health officials to help cash-strapped renters remain in their homes during the pandemic.
The ruling was a win for a coalition of property owners and realtors, who brought one of several challenges against the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's (CDC) eviction moratorium, which was first enacted under former President Trump and later extended through June.
In a 20-page ruling, U.S. District Court Judge Dabney Friedrich ruled that the agency exceeded its authority with the temporary ban.
"The question for the Court is a narrow one: Does the Public Health Service Act grant the CDC the legal authority to impose a nationwide eviction?
Just a thought.
Bottoms...
Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms announced the creation of a new working group to provide recommendations for reducing crime amid a spike in homicides and gun violence in the city.
The members of the group, who have not been announced, will provide feedback in the next 30 to 45 days.
The announcement followed a string of weekend shootings that left a 15-year-old girl and 22-year-old man dead and several others injured. Six months out from an election, Bottoms is facing criticism over her handling of public safety issues as the number of killings in the city continues to rise.
Atlanta police have investigated 44 homicides this year, a 60% increase from this time in 2020.
“You can say what you want to say about what you believe to be my deficits. People are entitled to their opinion. But don’t ever question whether or not I care,” Bottoms said.
The Media forgot to identifies the color of the victims and forgot to dance about racial problems. Just a thought.

Wright...
The special election in Texas’ Sixth Congressional District on Saturday was seen as the first competitive race since Joe Biden was elected president and a bellwether on how a district that was seen to be purpling reacted to the new administration’s first 100 days.
The results were seen as a blow to Democrats because two Republicans earned enough votes to advance to a runoff. Susan Wright, the wife of the late Republican Rep. Ron Wright, was followed in votes by Jake Ellzey who eked out a win over Democrat Jana Lynne Sanchez.
