Krasner: So, if what you have is a group of ICE agents, or even the military, coming into Philadelphia and committing crimes—assaults that are illegal, kidnapping, unlawful restraint, obstruction of the administration of justice—they can be prosecuted.

While in no hurry, I am longing for a venture with purpose and some level of entrepreneurial companionship.
I feel like I'm buttoning up a 5-year and a 10-year cycle at the same time with nothing significant queued up for the next cycles.

If true, this is the economic ballgame
Elon Musk has barged into DOL, which also oversees the Bureau of Labor Statistics—that's a huge deal. He could manipulate quarterly job numbers and much more. We are talking about MARKET MOVING INFORMATION! Do employers want Musk to have access to any of their confidential data?

Neotropical armoured catfish – also frequently called “plecos” – are not often thought of as fish that can move around on land. But they can and they do so surprisingly well. The way they move is so unusual that researchers had to invent a new word to describe it: reffling.
