Congratulations on the new paper!
Here is a photo of our “dire wolf” on the lakefront. He is as much of a “dire wolf” as the Collosal scam. And he is a very good boy!

Not the most important issue with everything else going on, but why are government contracting databases sporting the full aqua look, pinstripes and all? This only lasted to 10.2

The answer is yes www.brookings.edu/articles/wha...
• brookings.edu BROOKINGS A more complicated, but more likely, way to ban the filibuster would be to create a new Senate precedent. The chamber's precedents exist alongside its formal rules to provide additional insight into how and when its rules have been applied in particular ways. Importantly, this approach to curtailing the filibuster-colloquially known as the "nuclear option" and more formally as "reform by ruling"-can, in certain circumstances, be employed with support from only a simple majority of senators. The nuclear option leverages the fact that a new precedent can be created by a senator raising a point of order, or claiming that a Senate rule is being violated. If the presiding officer (typically a member of the Senate) agrees, that ruling establishes a new precedent. If the presiding officer disagrees, another senator can appeal the ruling of the chair. If a majority of the Senate votes to reverse the decision of the chair, then the opposite of the che becomes the new precedent

I’m not sorry to leave, but I will resubscribe in an instant once Bezo’s sells off the Post to @karaswisher.bsky.social . The US needs actual journalism now more than ever.
