Top from last 48 hrs The Supreme Court leaves the CDC's moratorium on evictions in place. NPR (Moderate Left) • Factual Grade 72% • 3 min read
A group of the nation's landlords challenged the eviction ban and on May 5, a federal judge ruled that the CDC has exceeded its authority. The judge, however, blocked her own decision from going into effect to give the government time to appeal. On June 2, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia upheld the stay, prompting the landlords to go to the Supreme Court. ... Justice Kavanaugh, who cast the fifth and deciding vote, wrote in a concurring opinion that he voted not to end the eviction program only because it is set to expire on July 31, "and because those few weeks will allow for additional and more orderly distribution" of the funds that Congress appropriated to provide rental assistance to those in need. ... Dissenting were Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch and Amy Coney Barrett. They would have blocked the moratorium from continuing for another month. The Biden administration has said it does not plan to extend the moratorium any further. - Top from different political viewpoint

HIGHLIGHTED COMMENTS " No - There is more nicotine in a Juul pod than a pack of cigarettes. It is being marketed as a healthy alternative to smoking, but it is giving rise to new, never before seen, serious lung disease. I teach high school, and most of my students vape.

" Yes - Having done both and different points in my life, it is decidedly better to vape than smoke. T..." " Unsure - It takes time to see whether substances are more or less dangerous.
