That he shares his name with Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini - "two of the most well-known figures of 20th-Century European totalitarian regimes" - has made his candidacy a "striking event", local outlet Peru21 reported.

Despite the curiosity generated by his name, local media noted that Hitler Guesclin Alba Sánchez had been elected mayor of Yúngar in 2018.

He reportedly beat rival candidate Lenin Vladimir Rodríguez Valverde after campaigning on the slogan "I'm the good Hitler".

Justice Alito (with Kagan) writing an "I don't see what's wrong with someone getting high every day, as long as they can handle it" concurrence in today's Second Amendment case was not on my bingo card.
The mismatch between the Government’s historical analogues and the theory on which the Government defends the
constitutionality of §922(g)(3) as applied to respondent is
clear. All that we know about respondent’s marijuana use
is that he used the drug about every other day. We do not
know how much he used, the strength of the marijuana he
used, how many times he used it on the days in question,
the time of day when he used it, where he used it, or the
degree to which this use affected his ability to exercise judgment and perform daily tasks responsibly. As a result, the
Government has failed to show that a marijuana user like
respondent is incapacitated in a way analogous to the habitual drunkards that the Government’s analogues regulated.
Marijuana consumption is increasingly common in this
country. Many States have legalized its use and sale, and
although possession of the drug remains a federal crime,
very few persons are convicted of that offense each year.
The Government has largely tolerated the production and
sale of marijuana when done in accord with state law, and
it has allowed a multi-billion-dollar marijuana business to
develop.1 For its part, Congress has restricted the use of
appropriated funds to prevent States from implementing
laws that allow the use, distribution, possession, or cultivation of medical marijuana, or to prosecute certain parties
—————— 1See Congressional Research Service, L. Sacco & J. Lampe, The Federal Status of Marijuana and the Policy Gap With States 2 (2026).ALITO, J., concurring in judgment
that produce, distribute, or possess marijuana in compliance with state law.2
In these circumstances, marijuana use today is like alcohol use at the founding. It is widespread and increasingly
considered socially acceptable in many quarters. And from
a practical standpoint, law enforcement widely tolerates
the use of marijuana.
These similarities underscore the deficiency of the Government’s analogues. To succeed, the Government would
need to identify a regulatory principle that justified disarmament of persons who are relevantly similar to the occasional marijuana user. But whereas the Government’s
analogues allowed disarmament only of those whose extreme use of an intoxicant (alcohol) incapacitated them habitually, §922(g)(3) as applied to respondent allows disarmament of those who do no more than “regularly us[e]” a
similar intoxicant (marijuana) unlawfully.
In attempting to rebuff a Second Amendment challenge,
the Government need not identify a historical twin or precise precursor. Rahimi, 602 U. S., at 692. Still, the Government must cite analogues that are “relevantly similar”
and that therefore furnish a basis for inferring that a challenged law is consistent with the historical understanding
of the right that the Second Amendment codified. Here, the
Government’s analogues are too far afield to justify the application of §922(g) to a marijuana user like respondent.
We need not say more to decide this case, and I would for
that reason say no more. I accordingly would affirm on this
ground alone.

Just look at this gorgeous portrait of celestial creation. JWST trained its infrared vision on one tiny patch in the Orion Nebula. There, it saw a wild collage of collapsing clouds, protostars, jets, shockwaves, and dark disks where new planets are forming. 🔭🧪 esawebb.org/images/potm2...
This image shows just a small, northern portion of OMC-2, located 1280 light-years from Earth and a little north of the Orion Nebula. Every stage of star formation — from the youngest stellar embryos, to protoplanetary discs, to newly-minted pre-main sequence stars — is contained within just this scene, which stretches 150 light-years across. The intense star-forming activity has produced an impressive display of billowing outflows and sparkling stars atop swirling layers of gas and dark, obscuring clouds.

Molecular clouds such as OMC-2 are vast clumps of gas much more dense than the rest of interstellar space. This density allows complex molecules to form, protected from the radiation given off by other stars, and it means that gravity can cause the cloud to collapse and form stars. The earliest stage of this process is a protostar - a growing star that is being fed gas from the surrounding cloud through a spinning disc of gas. As gas falls onto the protostar, it heats up, powering the glow of the protostar. The immense amount of energy acquired during this process is unleashed in fierce jets of gas from the poles of the star, frequently seen as twin glowing outflows that mark the location of a protostar.

Trump did not reach a settlement with the government. There was no case to settle. He has not created a slush fund. He has colluded with Todd Blanche to steal money from the US Treasury. This is not a “deal.” This is a crime for which Trump & Blanche must be prosecuted. It ia a crime.

Really feels like PPP fraud hasn't received nearly enough attention, particularly given its increasingly dubious benefits. We blamed inflation on less $2k in stimulus checks for regular taxpayers, yet $800 billion was doled out to "small business owners" that was mostly pocketed by the already rich.
