fair, unless the pain is so keenly felt that the elites start to crack. that didn't happen with Putin and his cronies, but I don't know enough about Iranian elites to know whether it's any more likely there.

Yes, but isn't this is an own goal by Iran? They're the ones left without a market for their oil.

Same here, there’s a Chevron in Menlo Park that charges $2-3 more than every other local station. Somehow it still attracts customers.

At all three places where I taught, veterans and military students are admired for their service, their ability to get their academic work done quickly and extremely well, and for often balancing family and school.

Not *once* have I ever heard a faculty member disparage a military student.

The SAVE America Act would centralize dangerous voter-screening power in presidential appointees, undermining the Constitution’s design, warns Cato’s Walter Olson.

He notes the urgency: after trying to overturn a lost election once, Trump could gain new tools to challenge voter eligibility again.

Except as the article points out, the broadcaster stands by the film.

There is an active debate in Polish society about Polish complicity and crimes, much of it sparked by Jan Gross's Neighbors, and the "they" here is not representative of modern Poland, at all.

Does he realize that a) the President can't ban mail-in ballots, and b) even if he could, it would hurt the Republican vote?

Yes, but time/ manner/ place restrictions mean that shouting down a speaker is not protected by 1A. It's also self-defeating.

It was a debacle because everyone behaved badly: the students, the dean, and the judge. The difference is that he's the one making decisions that affect millions.

Kyle Duncan, as in the judge who came to Stanford, got heckled and shouted down,* and responded by calling the students "juvenile idiots" and berating them for asking questions? That Kyle Duncan?

*I am not condoning their appalling behavior, at all.
