☆ What to Watch in the New Hampshire Primary
  + stars: | 2024-01-23 | by ( Jonathan Weisman | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
New Hampshire voters head to the polls on Tuesday for the first presidential primary of the 2024 nomination cycle, in a state that has been known to throw curveballs at overwhelming favorites. The withdrawal of Gov. Ron DeSantis from the Republican race on Sunday effectively left what had recently been a crowded field of candidates down to two: former President Donald J. Trump, and former Gov. The national Democratic Party, pushed by President Biden, had wanted New Hampshire Democrats to break tradition and move their primary to the end of February. New Hampshire refused, leaving the president’s supporters to mount a write-in campaign for the absent Mr. Biden against Representative Dean Phillips of Minnesota, the self-help author Marianne Williams and 19 other Democrats whose names are on the ballot.

☆ As Winter Approaches, Fears Grow for Homeless Migrants

The cold-weather scenes have crystallized the alarming strain that the arrival of more than 140,000 asylum seekers since spring last year has placed on the city. In Chicago, migrants have been sleeping in buses and on the floor of police stations, while Massachusetts has warned that its shelter system had reached full capacity. City Hall has said budget constraints mean it will have to cut spending on migrant care soon. Anne Williams-Isom, the deputy mayor leading the city’s response to the crisis, said during a news conference last Tuesday that New York was at capacity. “We’re running out of staff, we’re running of money, we’re running out of space,” she said.

☆ For Migrants in New York Shelters, 60-Day Limit Creates More Confusion
  + stars: | 2023-09-23 | by ( Hurubie Meko | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
New York City is implementing new rules in its homeless shelters in what officials said was an effort to reduce crowding as thousands of migrants continue to arrive from the southern border. New York is required by law to provide shelter to anyone who asks for it, but Mayor Eric Adams announced in July that adult migrants without children would be allowed to stay in city shelters for only 60 days before having to reapply for beds. The city has since issued about 13,000 notices of the 60-day limit, and for about 50 people that end date was Saturday. On Friday, the mayor announced another change: The time limit for migrants who reapply for shelter would be just 30 days, a shift first reported by The City. “We have now reached a point where we are full and must take action to move people seeking asylum more quickly through our shelter system,” Anne Williams-Isom, the deputy mayor for health and human services, said on Friday.

☆ A Record 100,000 People in New York Homeless Shelters
  + stars: | 2023-06-28 | by ( Andy Newman | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Of the 50,000 now in shelters, more than two-thirds are families with children. At the same time, the city’s nonmigrant homeless population may also be growing. When Mr. Adams took office, there were 45,000 people in the city’s main shelter system. (At least 17,000 migrants are in facilities outside the main shelter system, the city says, which include large hotels and other venues set up especially to house them.) In all, about 1 in 80 people in the nation’s largest city do not have a permanent place to live.

☆ As Crisis Grows, All of New York’s Migrant Plans Are Met With Outrage
  + stars: | 2023-05-18 | by ( Liam Stack | Jeffery C. Mays | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
Now, the daily stream of migrants feeding the crisis has doubled in size in recent weeks, city officials say. With no clear solutions at hand, the city turned to shelter some migrants in public school gyms starting last week. That plan, like many others before it, was almost immediately met with outrage — not only from activists and human right groups, but also from public school parents and the ranks of everyday New Yorkers. On Wednesday, the city began to distance itself from that proposal, too. More than 67,000 migrants have arrived in New York City since the crisis began.
☆ Opinion: What happens when you knock on a door

We’re looking back at the strongest, smartest opinion takes of the week from CNN and other outlets. In Kansas City, Andrew Lester, an 84-year-old White homeowner shot Ralph Yarl, a Black teenager who rang his doorbell. And, “with Trump as the front-runner for the 2024 Republican nomination, Fox has resumed coverage of him which often veers into the free-advertisement category. Neither Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who announced his candidacy last week, nor Marianne Williamson represents a serious threat, Axelrod noted. “The calendar reads 2023,” wrote the Republican former lieutenant governor of Georgia, Geoff Duncan, “but it feels like 2016 all over again.
☆ Democrats make South Carolina first presidential primary voting state
  + stars: | 2023-02-04 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com   time to read: +4 min
South Carolina will now kick things off for Democrats, with Michigan — and potentially Georgia — joining the early states in the biggest shakeup of the presidential primary in years, while Nevada will go second. "The Democratic Party looks like America," Harrison added, "And so does this proposal." Iowa Democratic Party Chair Rita Hart said the removal of Iowa will expose the party to charges that they have "turned their back on Iowa and rural America." New Hampshire Democrats have asked for more time to try to come up with a solution, but most Democrats say the writing on the wall and expect there will be no solution to the impasse. "Y'all, for far too long, our party's nominating calendar has not reflected this country looks like," said Georgia Rep. Nikema Williams, who is also the chairwoman of the state Democratic Party.
☆ Stroke survivors speak out about John Fetterman's debate struggles
  + stars: | 2022-10-28 | by ( Benjamin Ryan | ) www.nbcnews.com   time to read: +8 min
For stroke survivors interviewed by NBC News, the test Fetterman faced was not just political, but deeply personal. Sheth differentiated between the intellectual and cognitive capacities of stroke survivors and their ability to process language and communicate. Some stroke survivors said that just as people with learning disabilities are given extra time on standardized tests, the debate rules should have allotted Fetterman longer periods to speak. Accordingly, some stroke survivors said that at the end of the hourlong debate, Fetterman seemed worn out. Others said they hoped that the attention focused on Fetterman’s recovery might inspire greater empathy and understanding of what stroke survivors go through.
