Late on Monday, an explosion occurred in Hasselby, a suburb of the capital, Stockholm. In the early hours of Tuesday, a blast in Linkoping, some 175 kilometers (110 miles) to the southwest, ripped the facade off a three-story building, leaving debris strewn across a parking area.

Fix your cracked windshield or the accident might be your fault

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:55:22 GMT

DENVER (KDVR) — If you don't have insurance that covers your windshield, you may want to get it. While you may not get cited for a cracked windshield, it does put you at risk for liability in a car accident. Whether it's rock debris, salt, or even sand in the winter, particles flying at a car windshield above 30 miles an hour is a recipe for a cracked windshield, which isn't uncommon in Colorado. This Colorado city has one of the longest commutes in the nation Colorado roads are notoriously rougher. Last year, Colorado ranked in the top 20 for the roughest roads in the U.S. While the roughness of the roads can lead to cracks, Coloradans don't necessarily need to repair their windshield. According to sections 54-75 of the Denver Municipal Code, the law doesn't specifically state that cracked windshields need to be repaired, it only states that the windshield can't obstruct the view of the driver.While a cracked windshield isn't technically illegal, it's up to the individual police ...

Supreme Court rejects Alabama’s attempt to avoid creating a second Black majority congressional district

Published Wed, 19 Feb 2025 20:55:22 GMT

(CNN) — The Supreme Court on Tuesday rejected an emergency bid from Alabama, setting the stage for a new congressional map likely to include a second Black majority district to account for the state’s 27% Black population.The one-line order reflects that the feelings on the court haven’t changed since June when a 5-4 Supreme Court affirmed a lower court that had ordered the state to redraw its seven-seat congressional map to include a second majority-Black district or “something quite close to it.”There were no noted dissents.The justices’ action will have immediate consequences in Alabama and perhaps nationwide in the 2024 elections. There are currently six Republicans and one Democratic member of Congress from Alabama, but the changing makeup of the districts is likely to mean the state will pick up a new Democratic member of Congress.Black voters lean Democratic in other states with redistricting battles underway as well.Attempt to go around June rulingThe case has...
