This is South Philly in synecdoche: the oldest pizzeria in Philadelphia, one which still had a pasta dish on the menu named for late Villanova coach Rollie Massimino, has closed after 98 years and sold its building to a successful local Sichuan restaurateur who wants to open another branch.
Marra’s, Philadelphia’s oldest pizzeria, has closed after 98 years on East Passyunk Avenue
The family says it's exploring a new location for Marra's — one with better parking. The building, which the Marras bought in 1927, has been sold after being on the market for several years.

They’re simultaneously arguing that soldiers have to follow all orders from the president, legal or not, but they get to ignore orders from a federal judge if they feel they’re not legal.
KARL: Did you know about the judge's order when you issued your order for the planes to continue?
KRISTI NOEM: This is an activist judge. We comply with all federal orders that are lawful and binding.

If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

NEWS: During a hearing in federal court in VA, prosecutors confirmed that the operative indictment in the case against James Comey was never shown to or voted on by the entire grand jury before it was presented in open court.
Defense counsel argued that’s a complete bar to further prosecution
