Political cartoon styled as the Trojan Horse story. A large wooden horse labeled 'ABUNDANCE' sits outside the gates of a city labeled 'YIMBY'. Inside the horse, text reads 'DONALD TRUMP'S LARGEST DONORS AND A BUNCH OF INTERNET NAZIS'. A small figure labeled 'EZRA KLEIN' stands near the horse, gesturing toward the city gates where two guards are visible. The image appears to be commentary on YIMBY (Yes In My Backyard) housing policy movements.

Lol, I recently (before the occupation) visited DC and met up with a friend for lunch at Union Station. It was totally fine.

Anyone know where I could rent a road bike near Raleigh or Asheville in North Carolina? I'm looking into joining my brother in the Assault on the Carolinas 100k, but shipping my bike seems way too complicated and expensive.

Looks like Pam Bondi's Brother was defeated in his bid to lead the DC Bar. People got the word out and bar members turned out and voted overwhelmingly against him.
