Tourism is marred by economic uncertainty in the US & a decline in Canadian travelers.
The drop in Canadian tourists cost Vegas more than $4 billion, a local ABC news affiliate reported in April, after Trump doubled down on his tariff announcement.

It’s a really good article. I agree with all of it; the only tiny thing I would add is, along with Hegseth's overwrought concerns about overweight people and women in the military, he’s also intolerant of Black men with beards.

Reminder that "firing on the shipwrecked" is literally THE example used in the DoD War Manual of "a clearly illegal order"
“Leavitt told reporters at the White House press briefing that Hegseth authorized Adm. Frank Bradley to carry out the second strike, which reportedly killed two people who were hanging onto the burning vessel after an initial strike.” Wow. 12/1/25 thehill.com/homenews/562...

You know who would have disobeyed?
Disobeyed illegal orders: Hugh Thompson Jr. was a United States Army officer who intervened during the My Lai massacre in Vietnam on March 16, 1968, saving Vietnamese civilians by blocking U.S. soldiers from killing them and facilitating their evacuation. He later testified about the atrocities.

First, grading is part of academic freedom b/c it involves instructors applying their disciplinary expertise - both when they set assignments, and when they grade student work
