Pennsylvania Democratic senator John Fetterman is known for a few things, like his 6-foot-8 frame and his affinity for hoodies, but great driving is certainly not one of them. Maryland State Police body-camera footage released yesterday shows first responders discussing the lawmaker’s June 9 crash, and quoting a witness who said Fetterman was “flying” in his Chevy Traverse when he smashed into the back of a red Impala that was trying to merge.

A dangerous drug that is being mixed into fentanyl is causing those who inject it to develop a rash of sores that resembles a case of flesh-eating bacteria. People experiencing homelessness around Denver can sometimes be seen with these bloody, weeping wounds. I recently mentioned this phenomenon to a fentanyl user who told me about the xylazine connection.

Aurora’s pallet shelters for people experiencing homelessness, which only allow a maximum 30-day stay, have been cycling the same individuals in and out, city staff told council members Thursday. Many return to street encampments when their time in the pallet shelter runs out, Jessica Prosser, homeless services director for the city, said. Then, the city sweeps the encampment again, and they get to come back to the shelter for another 30 days, Prosser explained. This process can repeat multiple times.

Voters in seven states will decide on ballot measures to prohibit non-citizen voting in Nov. 2024. The ballot measures would amend the states’ constitutions to provide that only a citizen rather than every citizen may vote in a state’s elections. The seven states are North Carolina, Iowa, Kentucky, Missouri, Oklahoma, South Carolina, and Wisconsin. In each of these states, the Republican-controlled legislature added an amendment to the ballot.

The Denver City Council voted Monday to spend $5 million to shuffle 250 homeless people from the street directly into leased housing. The contract goes to Housing Connector, which has experience in such matters, according to a memo from city staff to the City Council. Extra money is included in the contract for things such as unexpected repairs, said Midori Higa of the Department of Housing Stability. She said if someone has a bad day and breaks a window, a replacement will be covered.
