It's often said there's nothing left down by the old RFK stadium. That's not true: there's a world-class pole vaulting facility and D.C.'s biggest skate park. But neither is expected to survive if the Commanders get a new stadium. Me for @51st.news: 51st.news/d-c-pole-vau...
D.C. pole vaulters and skateboarders hope they aren’t forgotten in push for new Commanders stadium
A world-class pole vaulting facility and skate park could be replaced by new bars and restaurants.

“What has the country gotten for all of this chaos? Nothing. Trump tarnished the United States’ long-standing trading relationships and boosted the cost of imports, and evidently won zero concessions in return,” @annielowrey.bsky.social writes:

Excellent explainer from @SteveVladeck.Bsky.social on why immigrants, including the men deported under Alien Enemy Act, are entitled to due process.
Bonus 133: Due Process and the Rule of Law
Too many Americans don't understand, at a basic level, *why* the Constitution requires due process when the government deprives anyone of their life, liberty, or property.

Drained, Chester sat down and waited for the police to arrive. Staring at Alan’s still-warm body laying among the empty shells, he felt no remorse. There were two sacred rules. You didn’t touch another man’s wife, or another man’s nuts. His ears perked up as the sound of sirens rose in the distance.
