SUMMARY: Local organizations in Austin responded to a Supreme Court decision allowing cities to enforce camping bans on homeless individuals, reversing a previous Ninth Circuit ruling. “Save Austin Now,” supporting the decision, criticized former Mayor Steve Adler and called for full enforcement of the ban passed by voters in 2021. Conversely, VOCAL-TX condemned the ruling, arguing it criminalizes poverty and worsens homelessness. The case, originating from Oregon's Grants Pass ordinances, focused on civil citations for public camping. Austin's Prop B reinstated a camping ban, penalizing public camping, and reflecting a similar statewide law effective in September 2021. 5,020 people in Austin are likely experiencing unsheltered homelessness.

SUMMARY: President Joe Biden affirmed his commitment to the presidential race during a meeting with campaign staff, despite discussions about his debate performance against former President Donald Trump, which was attributed to illness and travel fatigue. Some Democrats are considering urging Biden to withdraw, citing internal dissatisfaction. The Boston Globe and New York Times have called for Biden to step aside in favor of other candidates, while The Washington Post reported Trump's campaign hopes Biden remains, believing Trump can defeat him. Biden maintains support from key Democrats, though concerns persist as the November election approaches.
