A true leader
For those who watched the NBC on-field interview of Drake Maye, Hunter Henry and K’Lavon Chaisson, the reason that Mike Onwenu, Garrett Bradbury and Morgan Moses were there was due to Maye’s request.

Wanted entire OL there, but Will Campbell/Jared Wilson had departed quickly.

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."

BREAKING: Fed Chairman Powell says the Fed got a grand jury subpoena on Friday.

Of his testimony about Fed renovations, Powell says, “Those are pretexts,” saying this is about the Fed not doing what Trump wants.

Indeed, the MVP campaign is over.

Maye ends his regular season going 354-for-492 (72%) for 4,394 yards with 31 TDs and 8 INTs.
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 v v humbling!

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.

Year 1 data on congestion pricing in Manhattan…

* Vehicle traffic: -11%
* Foot traffic: +3.4%
* Storefront vacancy: -0.9%
* Pollution: -22%
* Revenue for mass transit: $548M

So YES this has been a huge success.

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)

All of these bootlegged copies of the 60 Minutes segment flooding my feed (saying, ‘Watch it quick! Before it disappears!’) makes me feel like I’m in the Soviet Union and just got some black market foreign newspaper I need to hide under a floorboard in my house.
