I understood approximately 4% of what was said, but 100% of the vibe. Bad Bunny is a legend; my Spanish, however, remains a hate crime and I sincerely apologize to my high school Spanish teacher. I promise, I’m still working on it.

In Rob Reiner’s world, the truth is a bombshell. In Jack Smith’s world, it’s a burden. This week, as Smith stood before the House Judiciary Committee, he reminded us that while Hollywood makes justice look like a climax, in reality, it’s just the radical act of refusing to fold. bit.ly/4qKeDaU

Democracies don’t usually end with a bang. They end with a slow redefinition of the word "enemy"—and spoiler alert: that definition is starting to include people with local zip codes. Commander Adama had a rule about this. We’re currently breaking it. bit.ly/4b3lebt
