New Orleans has had the fewest murders this year since 1970. Carjackings are down 80% relative to 2022, vehicle burglaries are down 70%, shootings are down 63%. This is a wholly unnecessary stunt that will hurt local businesses.

I have a special distaste for Charlie Kirk. We were honored with Forbes 30 Under 30 the same year and that pissed me off.
Also I disagree with him on most everything and think he makes the country worse.
AND political violence has no place in American politics. No caveats.

Actually, Slavery Was Very Bad
The presidentβs latest criticism of museums is a thinly veiled attempt to erase Black history.
I debated writing this. It can feel tempting, upon encountering yet another instance of this administrationβs racism, to let it be. How many ways can you say the same thing over and over again? And yet we have to write it down, if for nothing else, so those who come after us know we were against it.

Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown Iran S04 E06

If youβre an American should watch the Anthony Bourdain Parts Unknown ep on Iran. A deeply humanizing look at a country full of people just like you and me. I watched it after Anthony died and it moved in ways that are hard to relay. I also immediately ran out to try kabob koobideh and tahdig.

So proud of our team that supported the filing of this brief, and the amici retired 4 stars and service secretaries. Some of them served America half a century, and are still serving nowβ using their voices to call out the dangers of using our military in a political mission, in our own country.

I think this was a *huge* factor. And in general, the precarity that people feel is significantly impacted by the way that financial perspective has been distorted. I would love to see the overlap of low-info swing voters and those gamble-investing on crypto, sports betting, and in-app loot boxes.
