Donald Trump Finds Silver Lining at Dallas Fundraiser. He told the crowd that the “shackles have been taken off” now that the establishment is jumping ship. I can’t even imagine what an unleashed Trump sounds like.

West Dallas Residents Saved From Eviction (For Now). HMK, Ltd. owns rows of shacks in West Dallas. When residents opened their doors for code inspectors after new regulations passed two weeks ago, the city told the rental company that conditions—we’re talking vermin and holes in roofs—needed improvement.

Yesterday, a judge put a stop to that until a yet-to-be-scheduled hearing will determine whether residents have a legal case against the property company.
