Ethan Harper graduated from Harvard Law School and Andrew Ceonzo graduated George Mason University's Antonin Scalia Law School. Both were in their school's chapters of the Federalist Society. Their involvement (if any) in Sen. Schmitt's line of attack is unclear. I've reached out to both.

Jack Smith: Donald Trump preyed on party loyalty and fear. One of the reasons he [failed] is bc Republicans stood up. I personally find it hard to understand how our investigation could be viewed as partisan when our strongest witnesses were Republicans. [Names Rusty Bowers and Mike Pence.]

Depeche Mode’s “Music for the Masses” turns 39 today. Of the single “Strangelove”, Alan Wilder said: “I can't even say how many times we had to redo it. We had to change the bass line at least 100 times .. We wanted to do it well — and all that for a result which, in my opinion, is not excellent.”

DoorDash spent $1.4M trying to stop Zohran Mamdani from becoming mayor. This week's historic $131.5M enforcement action against DoorDash for underpaying NYC delivery workers shows why. Yet another reminder that the only thing that can beat organized money is organized people.

DoorDash has ripped off more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers. We’re making them pay $131.5 million — the largest worker settlement in City history. This is New York, where hard work pays and greed will cost you.
DoorDash messed up.
They repeatedly left more than 260,000 NYC delivery workers underpaid or paid late, causing them immense stress and financial difficulty.
That's unacceptable.
We've secured a $131.5M settlement from
DoorDash - the largest worker settlement in NYC history and largest delivery worker settlement in
American municipal history.
Every worker will be paid what they are owed, and every company will be forced to abide by the laws of this city.

Disney bought Fox in 2019 so they could compete with Netflix. Since then they have laid off at least 7000 people, jacked up prices, repeatedly introduced ads until they're on every tier, and only last year turned their first streaming profit. The mergers haven't been good for anyone.
