Andrew Ferguson is a soulless political climber and a shame on the FTC and the entire profession
First up is Andrew Ferguson, FTC Chairman & Trump appointee, with opening remarks.
"We have republicans, democrats, conservatives, progressives, even feminists!"
He lambasts GAC providers for treating and "sterilizing" trans children, feeding into anti-trans disinfo about GAC.

"The DOGE team has neither requested nor been granted access to sensitive bank information." We'll see how long that remains true.

By not only ‘setting the rules’ but also ‘keeping score’ - both as final referee *and* official scoreboard operator - Congress can have its ‘Marbury’ moment and “emphatically” assert the exclusive “province of the legislative department to say what the fisc is”.

by far the worst offender is requiring URLs AND permalinks. URLs are at best redundant, at worst useless, and they take up a ton of space and look like shit
Footnotes in LR in general are a mess.
One of my on-going battles is to purge the id.
Readers aren’t idiots. Just need one cite at the end (or beginning) of a paragraph, w the range of pages cited.
No “id at X.” DEF no lone “id.”
It distracts the reader, who is constantly looking down then up.
