BREAKING

Former ICE agent:

On my first day training new cadets, I received secretive orders to teach them to violate the Constitution by entering homes without a judicial warrant.

Who cares what Silver thinks anymore. He can go play poker.

Perversion of Justice: The Jeffrey Epstein Story A decade before #MeToo, a multimillionaire sex offender from Florida got the ultimate break.

The results of her work are here. This is what eventually sent Epstein back to jail, where he died. This is what led to the story becoming a global, ongoing scandal. She had lots of help and support. But it started with one reporter, at the β€œlegacy media.”

I mean, Scandanavia as a group can probably give 6 a run for it's money, but really it's kind of the same people so...

As a fellow Historian, I got your back.

For the record, climatologist-epidemiologist-activist-historians don't get much attention either. I'll be surprised if my repost gets single-digit likes in this lonely social media desert.

This? no one in Indiana has literally been through this in college football. :-)

Also why Iowa is regularly a tough team, but almost never really good.

That and there was an adult, partially blind guy in that class who wrote a really awesome paper on blind sports.

Ha I don't remember that no. I do remember the guy who didn't like Fever Pitch because Hornby was too obsessed of a fan, but who had also worn some form of Cubs gear to literally EVERY class that semester.

I'd have happily loaned you some. If I never get another piece of red clothing in my life it will be too soon.

One of the tragedies of cinema in the past 25 years is that we didn't get multiple sequels to "Master and Commander".

ROFL. I had the opposite problem yesterday. Ordered by Dunkin breakfast sandwich and the app messed up so they gave me 2. Spent the whole morning trying to stay awake with an overfull stomach.

Just for the record, this is mostly just Bloomington being discussed also. The regional campuses are struggling to keep basic majors as well, just because our overall enrollments are smaller. We are collateral damage basically.

Elected Republicans are coalescing around the talking point that CBO's tax cut estimates are complete fiction and that tax cuts pay for themselves.

Well, CBO's 2018 and 2019 revenue estimates - which included the previous year's TCJA - were ... 99.5% accurate. 🧡

And that was with every advantage the refs could give the Knicks. Looked like your sport out there are times.

That was fucking awesome! That crazy as shot bouncing 20 feet in the air, falling in, but his toe was on the line? insane.

Does the data show that about another R? Hasn't Trump's ability to bring out low propensity voters been his key to success and almost been unique?

And in that same time, student writing has gotten demonstrably worse. At least the grades I give have gone down. So they are passing, but...

The same day that their excellent reporting also led to the release of a hall of fame kicker, a rightly so. This is sad, but they did their job well.

Yeah, I mean we HAVE the "miracle" treatment for it already so why would we need to create a new one? Let scientists work on other diseases...

For this reason, I always loved my once congressmen, then after I moved away senator from MD, Ben Cardin. He was utterly boring, a good guy, and an expert of fiscal issues who wrote detailed tax code and other legislation. He was who you should want writing legislation for it to actually work.
