This should be it for Drake Maye: the Patriots are up 38-10 after a TreVeyon Henderson touchdown run.

I’ve also never done a public sale before because I hate promo. As a woman in sports I also have to fight the understandable survival instinct to make myself small every day.

This is called "freedom" and it's pissing off the new Commissars who believe that artists must perform at the State's command
Issa Rae has canceled her sold out performance at the Kennedy Center. Pulitzer Prize winner Rhiannon Giddens, Peter Wolf, Low Cut Connie, and the Gay Men’s Chorus of Washington, D.C., have also canceled. Lin-Manuel Miranda has canceled the entire Kennedy Center run of Hamilton.

Congestion pricing happens when policy designers are influenced by economics. Pigou FTW.

this is incredible stuff. most state DOTs would spend tens of billions on highway expansions to try and see numbers like this (that wouldn’t even pan out anyway thanks to induced demand lol)

What makes Law Dork different?
Here's an example. In my discussion at the end of today's newsletter about the Indiana redistricting vote, I gave you a link to the bill and the actual vote. It's a little thing, but important, and so few media sources do it.

the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

“There is no principled basis to exempt the Fed from at-will removal while stripping other expert agencies of insulation. The only justification is the very one the court is otherwise rejecting everywhere else — the need for political independence grounded in technical expertise.”
