Ordering in is, and never will be the same as a dining out experience. Food doesn’t taste nearly as good and the service, well that’s now on you. If this has become a thing, I think it is REALLY dumb. you should mostly cook at home which is even better ( and less expensive) if you’re up to it.

“Trump is destroying democratic norms. Democrats have decided to follow him into the basement,” our columnist David Brooks writes. “When both parties cooperate to degrade public morality, then nobody even notices as it’s happening.”
We used to have a system of checks and balances. Congress and the Supreme Court are exhibiting a dereliction of duty.

“Can presidents unleash the armed forces on their own people based on facts that they contrive?” Stephen Vladeck asks in a guest essay. “The text of the relevant statutes doesn’t answer that question. But our constitutional ideals, to say nothing of common sense, should.”

I warned last October that if Donald Trump returned to the White House, the fate of the free press would depend on the willingness of corporate media executives to fight for it.
It's not going well. www.mediamatters.org/donald-trump...
Screenshot of article excerpt: The Education Department also was concerned about other words in the application, said Adrian Klenz, who works with deafblind adults in the state. He said he has talked with state officials about the discontinuation of the grant. “I was told that apparently the administration is going through past grants and two words were flagged: One was transition and one was privilege,” Klenz said. “Transition — transitioning from childhood to adulthood. Privilege came up because a parent wrote a glowing review of staff that said what a privilege it was to work with them.” ProPublica obtained a copy of the grant application and confirmed that those words were included.
The Dept. of Education has pulled funding for programs in 8 states that support students with both hearing and vision loss.
A staffer at one program says he was told the Trump admin. took issue with 2 words on the grant application: “transition" and “privilege": www.propublica.org/article/trum...

Cancer drug Revlimid is one of the bestselling pharmaceutical products of all time, with total sales of over $100 billion.
It’s also extraordinarily expensive, costing nearly $1,000 for each pill, even though that pill costs just 25 cents to make.

Arizona, the model for voucher programs across the country, spent so much money paying private schoolers’ tuition that it faced hundreds of millions in budget cuts to critical state programs and projects last year.

No. Not everything should be dictated by politics, especially our financial system. Whatever party you subscribe to, no American should ever be comfortable giving this much power to a president/administration.

It’s hard to overstate how big a deal this is - for the economy (ours and globally), for the rule of law, and for the proper and efficient function of government.
