Rep-elect Gisler’s victory is more proof of our momentum—including in districts that Trump won by double digits.
Fresh off this win and last month's victories in the GA Public Service Commissioner races, the DNC will continue to invest and organize in every corner of Georgia.

And even if you're right, the punishment for drug smuggling isn't death.
Rand Paul: "This is an insane policy. It's inconsistent. It's not war. It's not the way we've ever done this. If we can blow up a boat in the ocean, what about when they get to Miami & put it in a truck? Can you shoot a grenade launcher at the truck? No! We arrest people b/c sometimes we're wrong."

Zelensky says Ukraine has no choice, it needs funds, and the reparations loan from frozen Russian assets is the path forward. While some EU leaders remain skeptical of the format, he made it clear: Europe will either agree on this model or find another. “There is no alternative,” he said.

Bingo. A Ukrainian drone strike on December 5 shut down Russia’s Syzran oil refinery, according to Reuters. The attack hit the CDU-6 distillation unit, the same one damaged in August, and repairs could take up to a month. Syzran, owned by Rosneft, processes about 90,000 barrels per day.

Zena Cardman, currently at the space station, was a poetry double major at UNC. She was chosen as an astronaut partly due to her creative side which would help inspire others to enjoy space. Yes, her other degree was science, but the poetry is what got her "hired".
This is actually a good example of why the customer model is wrong.
I wouldn't have chosen poetry writing, but UNC made me take a class. And it absolutely made me become a much better writer, with an eye to concision and an ear now trained to the rhythm of words. I'm a better historian as a result.

If you are providing me with an education that is low utility in the world then it’s a disservice. My composition class spent four weeks on poetry. I’m sorry, but that only would’ve been useful if I wanted to be a poet. I don’t need to know iambic pentameter in order to be a victim advocate.
