It is remarkable that of all the celebrities from the '80s who've gone full fash Axl Rose of all people zoomed in the other direction.

The AL's representative in the World Series will either be the Tigers (haven't been since 2012), Blue Jays (haven't been since 1993), or the Mariners (have never played in a World Series).

Trump (1) reveals he doesn't know what habeas corpus is and (2) punts to Noem, who famously revealed her own ignorance at a Senate hearing when she defined habeas corpus as "a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country."

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

My hot take is could see decent amount of ticket splitting with independents

“It could all come down to turnout” for Dems

Specially big ? is Black turnout in Hampton Roads

More likely to stick with Jones given he’s from Norfolk

But issue for Dems is often lower turnout

New internal from Jay Jones confirms close race

Jones 46%
Miyares 45%

Recalled 2024 vote Harris +6% in line with her margin in Virginia

Memo notes Jones took a hit with independents

Confirms Virginia AG race competitive

But hard to know if impact will be same on Election Day

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

In Nebraska it’s “Nor-fork”! There is a byzantine story behind this www.mccookgazette.com/story/130721...

Fork or folk?

Your recent editorial about Norfolk's Johnny Carson was interesting, although not fully informed. According to the writer, we Nebraskans who pronounce the name of Carson's home town exactly the way HE...

Sounds like the linguistic pattern here — old timers that still have the Tidewater accent saying it one way, younger people saying it another way — and then the whole NAW-fik/NOR-fik contingent LOL meaning is use, I guess
