Utah Rep. Blake Moore said on Thursday that he “absolutely agrees” with Sen. John Curtis’ call to investigate Donald Trump Jr.’s lavish, private-island wedding after-party that was bankrolled by a Russian oligarch with ties to President Vladimir Putin.  “Maybe one of the most tone-deaf things I’ve ever seen,” Moore said, “to take money from a […]

(The Center Square) - The chairman of the Seattle City Council Budget Committee said he wants to review cuts in next year’s proposed city budget that would affect the city's fire department, the 911 operations center and the Community Crisis Responders team. Chairman Dan Strauss made those comments Thursday as the city council began reviewing Mayor Katie Wilson’s $9.1 billion budget proposal. The mayor presented her proposed 2027-28 budget on Tuesday, which would reduce an estimated $175 million deficit by cutting more than 140 positions in the city's 13,500-person payroll. While most cut positions are vacant, the budget plan calls for laying off 15 employees. “My focus in this budget is safety, affordability, and stability,” Strauss said Tuesday at the first budget hearing. “Over the past few years, we have made major strides in addressing the city’s structural budget deficit while maintaining the public services that working Seattleites depend on. That work is paying off." "At the same time, I have concerns with parts of this proposal, including the significant cuts to CARE Community Crisis Responders and reductions to the Seattle Fire Department’s budget," he added. The budget review process will last about two months. The council must pass a balanced budget by Dec. 2. The Seattle Fire Department’s 2027 Proposed Budget includes $346 million to maintain core fire and emergency response services, with a $7.1 million reduction to its overtime budget from this year, amounting to around 17%. In a memo to firefighters, Seattle Fire Chief Harold Scoggins said he will manage the cut through planned unit outages, reducing daily minimum staffing from 222 to 209. “Depending on staffing levels, four to six units may be taken out of service daily to meet this reduction,” he said in the memo. Scoggins said that could mean closing a fire house for a shift, depending on equipment availability. The CARES cuts include leaving 14 open positions unfilled. CARES provides an alternative mental health response to persons in crisis in lieu of a police response. The CARES department also maintains the city’s 911 emergency response system, and eight vacant 911 operator positions are eliminated in the proposed budget. A CARE spokesperson explained the impact of the proposed cuts in an email to The Center Square. "The CARE Department would like to expand its Community Crisis Response division to be 24/7, but was not planning on doing so in the immediate future due to anticipated potential budget challenges," wrote Bobbie Nickel. "As such, holding 14 positions vacant would not impact the division's current operations," he added. "There are currently 37 responders, and the division is hiring for two more." Wilson, a self-described democratic socialist, also continued to support funding "for youth, immigrants, refugees, and the LGBTQ+ community." The new proposed city budget sustains $4 million in ongoing support for immigrant and refugee communities, including legal defense services and rapid response programs. It also continues a new program that Wilson announced last month with $500,000 for community organizations working with individuals who identify as transgender. The size of the LQBTQ+ community has been increasing in liberal Seattle as some conservative states have passed restrictive measures affecting individuals who identify as transgender. "Seattle welcomes people fleeing oppression, wherever they are from,” said Wilson in a statement in her budget “A city is not measured by how it treats the people already thriving. It is measured by whether the person struggling the most can still look up and see a future that includes them.” Despite budget constraints, Wilson’s budget plan calls for a 13% increase to the city's police department, up to about $1.135 billion. The general fund would direct 53% of its roughly $2 billion in spending toward public safety. The $68 million increase would fund up to 1,250 police officer positions. The department currently has around 927 police officers. The budget calls for no new city business taxes, with Wilson saying the city’s economy was too fragile. "Mayor Wilson remains intent on pursuing new progressive revenue options, including a local capital gains tax, but the state timeline for implementing such a tax means it cannot close today's gap," noted Wilson's statement.

Zerk axola du inork kasu egiten ez dizunean? The debut (Debuta) Jesse Eisenbergek zuzendu eta idatzitako lana da. Bertan, Mona Friedman (Julianne Moore) da protagonista, familia aberatseko ama. Senarrak eta seme-alabek ez diote kasurik egiten: askotan, aurpegira ere ez diote begiratzen eta entzungor egiten diote, eta haientzat etxekoandrea soilik izango balitz bezala da. Guztiz baztertuta sentitzen denez eta galtzeko ezer gabe, antzerki amateur bateko audizio batera aurkeztu da, eta, sinesgaitza bada ere, rola bereganatu du. Pelikulan, Mona antzezten ikasten eta pertsonaian sartzen ikusi dugu: pixkanaka, bere lehengo bizitza ahaztu eta alde batera uzten hasi da, eta bere pertsonaiaren itxura hartzen. Komedia aparta da; bestela, egin galde nire alboan eserita zegoenari, barrez lehertzen egon da pelikula osoan. Txiste originalak eta barregarriak ditu, protagonistaren antzezpen bikainak lagunduta; ez nintzateke harrituko sariren bat –agian, Oscarra– irabazten badu antzezpen honegatik. Aktore laguntzaileek ere lan bikaina egin dute, antzerkiko aktoreak balira bezala, protagonistaren delirioan laguntzaile direla. Izan ere, Monaren delirio luze bat dirudi guztiak; Birdman eta Mulholland Drive (Mulholland Bidea) lanen antza hartu diot pixka bat: ez dugu inoiz jakingo zer den benetakoa eta zer ez, zer den Monaren irudimenak eta nahiek eraikia, eta zer benetan gertatzen dena. Istorioak hainbat egoera sinesgaitz aurkezten dizkigu, eta, Monaren karismari esker, irribarre eta algara artean ikusi dut pelikula osoa. Monaren antagonista –baina, baita bidelaguna ere– Jerry Blankenbuehler (Paul Giamatti) antzerkiko zuzendaria da. Hasieratik figura mitiko bat izango balitz bezala aurkezten dute, ironikoki, antzerki amateur baten zuzendaria baita. Jerryren rola ere itzela da filmean, eta Giamattiren antzezlana, beti legez, paregabea. Bien arteko erlazio gris eta ziurgabetasunez beteak darama gidoia aurrera, ez dugu-eta jakingo zein den Jerryk Monarekin duen jarrera. Laburbilduz, Birdman-en elementu magikoez baliatuz eta Mulholland Drive-ren erokeria puntuari esker, asko merezi duen lana da .

Zinemaldian ikusten ditudan pelikula batzuetan, adi-adi jarrita ere, ez dut jakiten nondik nora doan artistaren intentzioa. Batzuetan, pelikula konplexua delako eta aztertzeko denbora eskatzen duelako, baina, beste batzuetan, iruditzen zait ez duela ezer interesgarririk eskaintzen. Bloques erráticos (Haitz alderraiak) ikustea tokatu zait, eta argi eta garbi esan behar dut iruditu zaidala ez zeukala nondik heldu pelikula honek. Berez, sinopsia interesgarria zen: duela ehun urte, 1926an, Lucien Castelnau zuzendariak pelikula dokumental bat grabatu zuen Patagonian. Bertan hil eta izoztuta geratu zen glaziar batean, eta berotze globalaren ondorioz bere mamua libre geratu da, eta, ehun urte geroago, Patagonia modernoago batera iritsi eta nola dagoen ikusi du. Bada, filma ordu eta erdiko lan esperimental jasangaitza iruditu zait niri, ez besterik. Lehenik eta behin, gidoia, aspergarria izateaz gain, oso gaizki aurkeztua, jarraitzeko zaila eta apur bat uste handikoa begitandu zait. Lucien entzun dugu, edo bere mamua, ordu eta laurden amaigabe batez off-eko ahotsa erabiliz monologo aspergarria kontatzen. Poesia errezitatzen ariko balitz bezala, baina ulertzeko zaila edo ezinezkoa, eta ezer kontatzen ez duena. Gainera, istorioak ez du inolako haririk, leku batetik bestera saltoka dabil denbora guztian, eta ez dago pertsonaia interesgarririk; publikoa segituan galdu du. Ahotsa bera bakarrik ez, planoak eta zinematografia ere esperimentala, arraroa eta jarraitu ezina da. Berez, istorioa benetakoa da gainera, Paul Castelnau zuzendariaren eta Lucien Le Saint zinematografoaren film batean oinarrituta dago. La terre de feu (Suzko lurraldea) benetan grabatu zuten filma izan zen, eta, berez, Patagoniako Kawéskar, Yaghan eta Ona indigenei buruz ezagutzen den filmaketa zaharrena edo zaharrenetakoa da. Kontua da, Bloques erráticos-ek ez diola ezer ere gehitzen hasierako film horri. Ez du ia deus azaltzen filmaren gainean, une labur batean izan ezik, eta ez du inolako interesik pizten ikusleengan. Azkenik, filmaren amaieran, La terre de feu orginalaren zati bat jartzen du filmak, 1926an ahotsik gabe grabatutakoa, alegia. Ordu eta laurden eroangaitzaren ostean, inori ez zitzaion jada inporta lan originala, berez ikusgarria eta balio historiko handikoa. Badakit oso gogor kritikatu dudala , baina, benetan, ez nioke inori gomendatuko.

During her first semester at Chicago’s Malcolm X College, Nikya Harrell had had enough. It was winter, and she was cold. She was bouncing to and from family members’ houses and sometimes could only afford one meal a week.Harrell came to school overwhelmed and crying. A concerned friend suggested she see the school’s therapist, who connected her with the Dax Program, which offers students at risk of or experiencing homelessness a place to live for up to two years.Harrell came to Denver for Depaul USA’s Dax Program’s Thursday opening of the city’s first student residence near the Capitol building. Harrell had a message for other students who face challenges finding a place to live that she’s often repeated to herself: “You’re never alone.”Nikya Harrell, 24, used Dax Program housing in Chicago before she moved into her own apartment. Harrell stands outside the newest Dax residence on Sept. 24, 2026 in Denver.Dax provides students with a safe living space that allows them to focus on getting a college degree without worrying about where they’ll sleep. The program has partnered with Metropolitan State University of Denver and Regis University, but wants to expand services to other local colleges and universities.The nonprofit provides resources to people experiencing homelessness and operates 11 Dax student housing programs in Chicago, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, and New York. The program started in 2015 and has housed 494 students in those cities.The Denver Dax residence, an 1890s brick building that was originally a duplex in North Capitol Hill, is one of the national program’s larger residences and will be able to house up to 15 students.The Denver building will expand the program’s reach to about 110 students annually, according to a news release. Depaul USA’s website says about 95% of residents find permanent housing after participating in the program, and the Depaul USA news release says about 84% remain in school or graduate.To live in the house, students must work a minimum of 10 hours per week, be in good academic standing, and pay a reduced-cost monthly rent.Students in the program also get movie nights, Sunday dinners, and resources such as onsite food pantries, financial literacy workshops, employment assistance, and physical and behavioral health referrals.“Our program is really designed to transition students towards independence,” said Serita Reels, Depaul USA’s national Dax Program director.Nationwide, a recent survey of 74,350 students at 91 colleges in 16 states shared that about half of them experience housing insecurity and about 14% are homeless, according to a 2023-24 report from The Hope Center for Student Basic Needs. MSU Denver’s Abbie Kell, the school’s associate director of basic needs and housing support, said her office helps about 80 to 90 students annually who are experiencing homelessness. Erica Ingalls, Regis’ dean of students, said her school provides aid to four to six students a year who don’t have a place to live.Both campuses connect students with a list of resources that includes help applying to federal food aid, access to food pantries, and housing assistance. Regis provides two weeks of residence hall housing for homeless students, and MSU Denver offers emergency housing assistance.But some students might not be eligible for those resources, or the help might not last long enough to help them get on their feet. Students also typically stay away from community shelters, Kell said.“A lot of students usually live out of their car,” Kell said.MSU Denver helped a student move into the Dax building before the Thursday ribbon-cutting ceremony, Kell said.She said the process was respectful of the student’s circumstances. The student interviewed with Dax Program staff, talked about where they would wash clothes, and decided which room they wanted, Kell said.Harrell said Dax Chicago’s Cecilia house gave her her own living space for the first time. She decorated the walls with “Coraline” and One Direction posters.She also put affirmations such as “Take a deep breath” and “You might be going through a storm, but the sun is approaching soon” on the walls and in her desk.Her own space helped her open up. She dove deep into poetry and journaling. She’s participated in her school’s student government. She now lives in an apartment and plans to graduate from DePaul University in 2029 with a bachelor’s degree in early childhood education.Jason Gonzales is a reporter covering higher education and the Colorado legislature.
