* In a blow to landlords' rights, Oakland's requirement that they give a damn about kicking people out on the street is upheld in court. [SF Chronicles] * NY just banned the purchase of body armor. You'd think the right to self defense in the home would cover that sort of thing. [NY Daily News] * You know that thing when investigators say a person allegedly did a thing, despite them clearly being caught in 4k? Trump allegedly broke the law, again. [Forbes] * While red flag laws aren't a blanket solution, they can be useful in specific contexts. Here's some context. [CBS News] * Still want Biden to clarify this whole debt forgiveness thing? Looks like you'll be waiting for a while. Might as well read a couple Bar Tabs in the meantime.  [Insider]
