A new report from FWD.us
<[link removed]"[I]t's reached the point where I think in some areas, businesses are
saying we can't expand, we would like to expand, we would expand, but
we cannot because we don't have enough workers," said Republican state
Sen. Michael Crider. 

North Dakota also has more jobs available than workers. The state is
examining immigration as a potential solution, Hardy notes. 

And Ohio is facing a "red code" in its worrisome demand for nurses,

Sneha Dey of The Texas Tribune

a U.S. District Court. It is not Congress. It is not the president,"
Ezra said. "I'm not here to engage in nor do I have any inclination to
engage in any type of political comment in this decision."

Los Angeles amid a tropical storm warning, reports Christian Martinez of

Mayor Karen Bass. A spokesman for Texas Gov. Greg Abbott's (R) office
said on Tuesday the bus driver kept up with weather conditions and
"rerouted out of an abundance of caution and took a cautious path to Los
Angeles to keep all on board safe," reports Robert T. Garrett of The
Dallas Morning News

the way, as we walked, we saw a dead body in the desert," said Rigoberto
