Go to jury duty when called. Let me say it again: GO TO JURY DUTY WHEN CALLED.
If you're on a criminal trial, jury duty lets you see if the government has actually met its burden or if it has overreached. This is really powerful stuff, folks. Don't take it lightly.

I’m sure there’s a case study or two about (i) leverage, and (ii) why the air traffic controllers aren’t using their monopoly power to exercise more of it.
The secretary of transportation warned Monday that air traffic controllers should expect to stop getting a paycheck next week as the government shutdown continues. Here's what to know.
Government Shutdown Threatens Pay for Air Traffic Controllers
Controllers have already received one reduced check, because the shutdown began in the middle of a pay period. The next pay date, Oct. 28, will be the first fully missed paycheck.

Using the US military in the drug war is the most aggressive step so far in this regime’s escalating campaign against the cartels.
Trump is increasingly using military for things typically led by law enforcement.
This ratcheting up of our military in Latin American countries can’t be good. 😬

Serious question: how many countries boycott the 2028 Olympics?
The State Department is proposing requiring applicants for business and tourist visas to post a bond of up to $15,000 to enter the United States, a move that may make the process unaffordable for many.

One of NATO’s key purposes was to stop nuclear proliferation. America would have its nukes and would promise to protect Western Europe under its umbrella. In turn, the various countries in Western Europe wouldn’t need to have massive stockpiles of nuclear weapons.
Donald Trump’s disdain for NATO will reshape the domestic politics—and military posture—of some of America’s closest allies.

Is there anything Ohtani can't do? After he retires, he should get an award named after him, which goes to the best player in MLB and includes both leagues. MVP goes to best position player and one for each league. Cy Young goes to best pitcher and one for each league.

Hunter Biden has never held any position of power. Yet for years we had to hear certain politicians complain that they didn’t know what was on it. I hope that these same politicians raise an even bigger ruckus over the Gaetz report given that an AG has actual power in our system of government.
