Dying from this than in the vietnam war. That death toll number, 58,220. Well cross that line in the next 24 hours.

The Trump Campaign is lashing out against Republican Senate candidates. A memo issued by the nrsc last week told republicans not to defend the president s response to covid19 completely, simply defend his china ban stand and then to attack china in general.

Brittany King has lived in the Turtle Creek Terrace Condominiums in Oak Lawn for the last eight years. Having lost her vision as a teenager, she is legally blind. Her condo gives her the accessibility she needs to maintain independent living.
“The Upcreek and Oak Lawn areas are one of the few parts of Dallas that have the ability to accommodate the needs of people with disabilities like myself through the vital and direct access to public transportation, grocery stores and essential services,” King told the City Council last Wednesday.
For about the last five years, King has been fighting to maintain her way of life, threatened by a development that was up for a final City Council vote this week. Lincoln Property Co. has wanted to upzone the land so they could build taller structures, increase density and get more bang for their buck for a multi-family development. The development has been dubbed the Lincoln Katy Trail project.
