A true leader

The U.S. Supreme Court playing cute Unitary Executive Theory games owns this boondoggle. We Admin Nerds noted to everyone: Article I and the Necessary and Proper Clause make it 100% clear that Congress can design flexible, institutional agencies that preserve agency independence.
Tillis is spot on. The Senate can't confirm a Trump toady to succeed Powell at the Fed. The rest of the game is now out in the open, and it doesn't end well.

Hard to overstate what a remarkable statement this is from a Republican senator — even a retiring one — accusing thte Trump White House of weaponizing DOJ to control the Fed:
"It is now the independence and credibility of the Department of Justice that are in question."

This should be it for Drake Maye: the Patriots are up 38-10 after a TreVeyon Henderson touchdown run.

This is crazy man. Bluesky is the only place I “promote” my newsletter or post my stories.
I’ve also never done a public sale before because I hate promo. As a woman in sports I also have to fight the understandable survival instinct to make myself small every day.

This is called "freedom" and it's pissing off the new Commissars who believe that artists must perform at the State's command
Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Congestion pricing happens when policy designers are influenced by economics. Pigou FTW.

this is incredible stuff. most state DOTs would spend tens of billions on highway expansions to try and see numbers like this (that wouldn’t even pan out anyway thanks to induced demand lol)
