Over the last year, more than double the amount of Austin-based Redfin.com users looked for homes outside the metro area, according to the report."Those high home prices have resulted in people needing to leave the Austin metro area for more affordable places, because now locals or even people who moved in during the pandemic, are realizing that it's too expensive to live there," Redfin Chief Economist Daryl Fairweather said.Why is this happening?Fairweather said fewer homebuyers are intere...

Erwin Chemerinsky: Nothing has prepared me for the antisemitism I see on college campuses now

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:46:25 GMT

I am a 70-year-old Jewish man, but never in my life have I seen or felt the antisemitism of the last few weeks.I have heard antisemitic things from time to time through my life. I remember as a child being called a “dirty Jew,” and my friends and I being called “Christ killers” as we walked to Hebrew school. I recall a college girlfriend’s parents telling her that she should not go out with me because “Jews are different.” I had an incident in a class I was teaching about the ethics of negotiations, where a student matter-of-factly said, “the other side will try to Jew you down,” without the slightest sense of how that was a slur.But none of this prepared me for the last few weeks. On Friday, someone in my school posted on Instagram a picture of me with the caption, “Erwin Chemerinsky has taken an indefinite sabbatical from Berkeley Law to join the I.D.F.” Two weeks ago, at a town hall, a student told me that what wou...

Margaret Tarkington: Crooked lawyers were crucial to Trump’s Jan. 6 plot. We clearly need to reform the profession

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:46:25 GMT

Over the last two weeks, Jenna Ellis, Kenneth Chesebro and Sidney Powell, three lawyers central to Donald Trump’s attempt to overturn the 2020 election, pleaded guilty in the Georgia racketeering case against the former president and 18 co-defendants. All admitted significantly lesser crimes than charged and escaped prison time.Prosecutors may be more interested in Trump himself, but the lenient plea deals fail to comport with the culpability of these and other lawyers in Trump’s plot against the election. Eight attorneys were indicted in the Georgia case, and the federal indictment of Trump in the Jan. 6 plot includes five attorneys as unindicted co-conspirators, unnamed but identifiable as Powell, Chesebro, Rudolph W. Giuliani, John Eastman and Jeffrey Clark.Lawyers weren’t just involved in Trump’s plot; they devised and enabled it. Lawyers developed the strategies, manufactured a faux constitutional crisis and manipulated legal requirements in the effort t...

Published Mon, 10 Mar 2025 01:46:25 GMT

The Broncos answered the phone, like they said they would.The NFL’s trade deadline came and went Tuesday, however, with no actual action.Denver fielded interest on several players, including wide receiver Jerry Jeudy, sources told The Denver Post, but ultimately general manager George Paton, head coach Sean Payton and company decided to move forward with a group that’s won two straight games to get to 3-5.That follows with what Payton told reporters when he said the Broncos were not “openly or even remotely shopping anybody.”“Have people called? Sure the have,” he added. “… It’s just a matter of what those other teams deem is important and it’s hard to predict that.”The rest of the league didn’t view prying any of the Broncos’ potential trade candidates like Jeudy, fellow receiver Courtland Sutton, linebacker Josey Jewell or anybody else important enough to meet Denver’s asking price.Related ArticlesDenver Broncos | Broncos Mailbag: Can Sean Payton and Denver turn their ...
