Gov. Moore: Trump's executive actions are either ineffective, performative, or illegal. And many of the actions when it comes to the employment of our federal workers are illegal. And it's the people who are doing these jobs that are now being used as pawns in this really devious political game

Why do the ads for seasonal releases at Jeni’s Ice Cream all look like posters for an upcoming A24 film?

The scarecrow is clutching a pair of ice cream cones and the word “FALL” in Futura font is partially superimposed over its face.
