The other night I remarked to my wife that Ossoff reminds me of Ethan Peck (Gregory’s grandson, who plays Spock on Strange New Worlds).

John E. Sununu’s path back to the Senate runs through a very different New Hampshire - The Boston Globe
So much about the John E. Sununu is a throwback to his campaigns decades ago. What's changed is New Hampshire.

For years afterward, Ditka said not running was one of his great regrets because he thought he would have beaten Obama and averted his presidency.

Remember, Mike Ditka was one of the many, many people who turned down the chance to lose to Barack Obama after Jack Ryan dropped out of the Illinois US Sneate race in 2004.

Trump is basically claiming that he pardoned a crook who didn't deserve it for purely political resasons. This alone is worthy of impeachment and removal; overall, Trump's abuse of power pardons are easy calls for legitimate impeachment and removal. Whether he brags about it or not.

College campuses need to be liberated from their administrators
Higher ed is being strangled by absurd and costly rules. What message is that sending to students?

I do not. It’s possibly just the standard cleanup of the rolls - removing folks who have died, moved out of state, etc. - but 100k is a *lot* in a state this small.

It always has and will strike me that Hastert's crimes were so terrible that the blackmailer apparently never faced consequences, at least not public ones, and his name has never come out.

I was too young to watch, but I remember family members discussing it afterward and that was probably worse than seeing the actual movie would have been.
