about UK politics but also of relevance to the other side of the pond: "Good politics also requires something else - a healthy public sphere, in which at least the most egregiously bad ideas and bad actors are subject to sufficient scrutiny that they are weeded out. Which is what we don’t have."

We know all you can think about today is that it's #WorldPeacockDay.
So here's our "Shell Mosaic", which some people claim actually shows a peacock's fan tail. Those people are clearly insane, but it's not World Shell Day, and this is the best we can do.

The money was funneled using a “no bid” contract to an unknown LLC created days earlier and is tied to the husband of her deputy at DHS.

67% of 12th graders say they’ll likely choose to get married someday, down from 80% in 1993. The decline reflects shifting views among girls.
