A city is a large, permanent human settlement with a high population density and complex infrastructure. It functions as an independent, legally recognized municipality—often established by a charter—that provides its own local governance, public services, and utilities.

While the exact population threshold for a city varies globally (ranging from just a few thousand residents in some areas to millions in others), cities share a few universal characteristics:

Key Characteristics of a City
Legal Incorporation: Unlike rural areas or unincorporated towns, cities have official boundaries and a municipal government (e.g., a mayor, city council, and specific local laws).
Wikipedia +2
Complex Infrastructure: Cities feature advanced systems for transportation (roads, public transit), sanitation, utilities (water, power), and housing.

Economic Hubs: They are centers of commerce, trade, and specialized labor, where most workers perform non-agricultural jobs.

Social and Cultural Centers: Their high density fosters rich interaction, resulting in diverse populations, educational institutions, and civic amenities (e.g., parks, museums).

1 hour ago, SydneyCarton said: It was different courts. I don't know about the Alabama situation if it was the federal supreme court, or the Alabama supreme court, but in VA it was the Virginia Supreme Court who stopped it.
That being said, if this was a federal ruling by SCOTUS, VA should use this to tell their own supreme court to suck a dick. I mean, they should do that anyway just like Ohio did.
And IIRC the Virginia case hinged on state constitutional procedural issues with the timing of the election, not federal Voting Rights Act violations.

Paramedic on Trump's health.
tl;dr version - Trump has chronic heart failure (CHF) and they are monitoring him for an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). This is what he thinks is the immediate threat to Trump's health.

1 hour ago, Satchel said: Crockett's campaign focused mostly on energizing infrequent and non voting Democrats. She also sought to expand the franchise by engaging new voters which targeted young people.
. Suggesting that she will not campaign for Talarico because she hasn't "yet" is disingenuous. Campaigning starts in earnest in September.Let's see if Crockett will do what she has asked others to do:
“This is about the future of all 30 million Texans and getting America back on track,” she said in a statement. “With the primary behind us, Democrats must rally around our nominees and win. I’m committed to doing my part and will continue working to elect Democrats up and down the ballot.”
I don't think we are suggesting she will not campaign for him. We fear she may not, or if she does that she does not do so enthusiastically. I certainly hope she does.

From a recent CNN article:
After losing to Talarico, Crockett called on Democrats to unite behind all their nominees. But she has not campaigned with Talarico yet, and her team made clear in a new statement to CNN that she believes Texas Democrats have considerable progress to make if they want to end Republican rule.
The statement, from Crockett spokesperson Karrol Rimal, said it would be “foolish to underestimate” Paxton and that there is “still a long road ahead to November.”
“Tough decisions will need to be made about where Democrats are prioritizing their spending – do they invest in a Texas longshot or double down in states where they’ve won statewide such as Alaska and Georgia?” the statement said. “Texas Democrats have nominated a slate of candidates where the top three spots are filled with lawmakers from Austin. They’ll have to do a lot of work outside of Central Texas and to resonate with constituencies across our state which is one of the largest and most diverse in the world.”
The statement added that Crockett still believes turning Texas blue “lies in energizing the Democratic base,” including voters of color. Democrats “can chase disaffected Republicans all day but there simply is not enough of them to change the outcome,” the statement said.
