After paying for hotel rooms to shelter homeless people, Seattle deliberately left them vacant.

By the end of 2024, taxpayers were spending $4,200 a month per empty room at a time when thousands of residents were without a roof over their heads.

Seattle Spent Millions on Hotel Rooms to Shelter Unhoused People. Then It Stopped Filling Them.

Early last year, the city signed a $2.7 million lease extension to continue using a hotel’s rooms as shelter space. Yet despite committing to pay the rent, the city stopped sending people there.

#UK & #France vow to send troops to #Ukraine after fighting ends to secure Ukraine’s skies & seas and rebuild its army.

#Germany rules out deployment, citing strain from stationing forces in #Lithuania. The pledges come ahead of #Washington talks with #Trump on security guarantees.

You know it’s bad when you wake up and can immediately taste the ash in the air.

People are being advised to stay inside with the windows closed, but the remnants of last night’s attacks – and subsequent mass fires.

After all, #Russia 'greeted' the U.S. with fireworks for Independence Day.

Though not in #Washington, but in #Kyiv.
