Side note to the side note: the thing about races like this is that while Dems obviously hope their candidate pulls off an upset, the bigger goal is to force the GOP to expend resources on what should be a safe race.
Dems may’ve already achieved that here.

Religion aside: Trump’s allegation that Van Epps’ opponent, Aftyn Behn, “hates” Christianity appears to be a reference to a past statement she made not about Christianity itself, but about secularism and specific religious leaders having “a lot of say” and “power” in the TN state legislature.

This AP news story is incredible from front to back but I wanted to flag something super serious and wildly illegal that may have flown under the radar. It’s called parallel construction and it’s when intel is washed from spy agencies and used by local cops. apnews.com/article/immi...

Thought I’d finish out a month of Alaska Native-created books with my favorite Indigenous book illustrator - my dad.
These are two self-published projects I collaborated with him on and I love that I’m still able to share his work like this, months after he passed.

Senator Kelly is correct.
Plus a Public Service Announcement:
KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1.
The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal:
"orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

Something important to remember re. Northwestern's capitulation. The feds never gave a formal explanation for freezing over $790M in funds. They just ... froze them. The assumption was the freezing was due to alleged Title VI violations & the shakedown agreement suggests as much. But . . . 1/x
