By Kayla BranchStaff writerkbranch@oklahoman.comOklahoma County commissioners are mulling over a request to paint a Black Lives Matter mural outside of the county jail. During a Wednesday meeting, an Oklahoma City official told commissioners the city had received a permit request from The Movement, a local activist group, to paint the mural on a small wall several feet away from the jail. Since the county owns the jail, commissioners must decide if they will allow the mural before a months-long permitting process through Oklahoma City’s government begins.

  • Sen. Tim Scott, a Rumored VP Pick, Backs Trump’s Election Denial
    Mother Jones, Sunday - 05/05/2024 - 01:14 PM

On Sunday morning, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC)—who NBC News reported in February was the leading candidate for the VP job—showed why he may be Trump’s favored candidate: he refused no less than six times to answer whether or not he would accept the results of November’s election no matter the outcome.

The Senate passed Saturday a significantly narrowed ban on minimum parking requirements, one of the proposed land use reforms that emerged from the failure of last year’s omnibus proposal.
