This Day in Labor History: November 19, 1915. Utah executed IWW organizer Joe Hill for a murder he almost certainly did not commit. But he was an Wobbly and dispensable to society, especially in Utah, a starkly conservative western state outraged by the sheer existence of these radicals!!!

I was in suspense on who to root for in this afternoon's Chiefs-Broncos game because I *really* don't like either team. But then I saw that safety blitz on Nix and I couldn't help but cheer. I guess I have my decision. Go Chiefs.

The War Department was the predecessor to the Department of the Army, which, along with the departments of the Navy and Air Force, was folded in 1947 into the National Military Establishment, which became the Department of Defense in 1949. GAH!
Trump: "We have officially renamed the Dept of Defense back to the original name, Dept of War. And remember we won World War 1, we won World War 2, we won everything in between. We won everything that came before. And then we brilliantly decided to change the name. We became politically correct"

This is your semi-regular reminder that, when it comes to American Indian law or US territorial policy, Gorsuch is woke as f--k.
Justices Gorsuch and Thomas, who never agree on anything concerning federal Indian law, agree that the federal government doesn't have plenary power over Native nations. This is a remarkable joint statement that should lead Justice Thomas to revisit a hell of a lot of things he has previously said

I love the smell of onions and mustard in the morning. It smells like victory.
Border Patrol agent Lairmore testifies that he was not injured by the sandwich, but he felt the impact through his ballistic vest.
The sandwich came apart and "kind of exploded" on his chest upon impact, he says.
"I could smell the onions and mustard."

All I'll say is that I'm picturing her showing Vance swatches of upholstery and asking, "Which do you prefer: the cotton with sunflowers or the navy blue linen or, maybe, the Corinthian leather?"

I have 2 theories: the first, and the most likely, is they have no plans to finish rebuilding the East Wing. This is nothing more than $300 million con.
The second is that Trump heard about the Winchester Mystery House and thinks he can do one better than Sarah Winchester.

I have always agreed with Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. that :taxes are the price we pay for civilized society." But Jesus Tap-dancing Christ...
President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him.
Whether he gets paid will ultimately be up to DOJ's second-in-command, who was recently his personal lawyer.
