Are you counting the absolute failure of the media covering the campaign to explain what tariffs are and how they work as part of political education?
Kind of a lawyer, very questionable bjj brown belt, worldview pretty largely formed by equal parts Bugs Bunny and Hunter S. Thompson. I strongly believe the Go-Gos were/are under appreciated. He/him.

I tried watching the pilot of How to Get Away with Murder, and nearly exploded when the first day of Criminal Law class started with discussion of a murder in the news that hadn't gone to trial yet. For those that haven't been to law school, the vast majority of it is reading court opinions.

Full resignation letter from Demetre C. Daskalakis, a CDC leader, does not hold back. "The recent shooting at CDC is not why I am resigning. My grandfather, who I am named after, stood up to fascist forces in Greece and lost his life doing so. I am resigning to make him and his legacy proud."

I walked into the Eastern Market stop and couldn't stop myself from laughing at how many NG were there (plus a couple from some agency i didn't identify). The one guardsman i made eye contact with was grinning, i *think* at the ridiculousness of it. Didn't seem like a malicious grin.
