[2] In other words, even though [Harris] lost, her core problem was not her message, however imperfect it might have been.

Hayes just assumes ("in other words") that the message was not at least in part a problem, and the rest of the article is based on that assumption.

Here's the key move, I think:
[1] And the message of those ads was in line with a lot of what many critics have suggested β€” focused on core economic issues and framed in populist terms ...

That's an interesting way of putting it. If that's the question, I'm not sure whether the protests did provide an answer. It's hard to say. It's interesting because the question is generally put the other way around: Will government officials have the people's backs?

Okay. thanks. So some big law firms have decided that hiring very early outweighs that deficit in the applicants' submissions. Why do you think law firms are doing this? And does it make sense for law students to look elsewhere (or is that unrealistic)?

And don't forget Rick Wise: 2 HR, no-hitter, 12Ks, and he did it against the Big Red Machine: Rose, Bench, Morgan, Foster et al.

Are they realistically able to say "forget this, I will apply to places that don't do this nonsense"

Well, under those circumstances, what should they use as writing samples?

2) As I recall, there was no discussion of the substance of some of the conservative students’ beliefs. Not all conservative students are racists & anti-Semites. Not all liberal students are non-racists & non anti-semites. BUT, consider this story when we think of those previous articles.

So, this is about the difference between a "base" and a "facility" within a base?

Okay. Thanks. I don't see it, and I don't know what "views/trends" that you're referring to exactly.

Where do these percentages come from? I asked the original poster, who did not respond. Now, I'm asking you (because you reposted them). They may be correct, but what's the basis for them?

Pope Leo calls for news agencies to stand as bulwark against "post-truths," lies and manipulation Pope Leo XIV has encouraged international news agencies to stand firm as a bulwark against the "ancient art of lying" and manipulation.

Pope Leo quotes Hannah Arendt:

β€œThe ideal subject of totalitarian rule is not the convinced Nazi or the convinced Communist, but people for whom the distinction between fact and fiction and the distinction between true and false no longer exist."

Trump administration says immigration enforcement threatens higher food prices U.S. farmers face labor shortages and potential food price hikes due to Trump’s immigration policy, the administration acknowledged in a Federal Registry document.

First, question when does the author of the β€œobscure document” get fired? See www.washingtonpost.com/business/202....

Second question: What economic theory supports the notion that lowering the pay for H-2A workers & making them pay for their own housing will increase the supply of those workers?

Where do these percentage increases come from? I'd like to read more about it. Thanks!

Gene really is the expert. (And a great person to work with, which I had the pleasure to do years ago.) I look forward to listening.

I remain puzzled by the notion that Trump & his agenda are vulnerable because they garner more opposition than support in polling. The depressing thing is that, generally, the polls are close, often with large minorities supporting him & his agenda. Does an authoritarian need more than that?

Very high. I predict that in the bottom of the first Brandon Marsh will make a spectacular diving catch on a Mookie Betts' liner to center preventing a triple that would have been a one-out single if he hadn't dove.
