This is how it's done - "To understand the scope of Ms. Mailman’s influence, The Times reviewed emails and other government records surfaced in court cases targeting the Trump administration, mined her interviews on conservative podcasts and other media appearances and interviewed more than a dozen current and former colleagues." #journalism

As someone who read newspapers as a kid (columns), then struggled with textbooks (full page text), then found many websites tolerable (columns) & for those that weren't, "reader view" with the window narrowed (1 column), I've always wondered what the hell the textbook formatting community had against those of us who . . .
Get to the end of a long sentence, forget what was at the beginning, start to read it over, rinse and repeat . . . providing they at least understood the purpose of leading.
A couple of things about this home for sale in Palm Springs. First, the Realtor did the photos the right way - showing us what the rooms really look like, in addition to how the photos were altered to make them more "sellable." Second, while I've seen 1,000s of listings with CGI furniture added, this is the first time I've seen them "paint" the walls.

Judge: They claim you ran from them and they had no choice but to tackle you and pin you to the ground.
Random Dude: So, if a bunch of masked guys jump out of a rental truck and come after you, judge, you're going to assume they're not terrorists or something and just go quietly?"
Judge: You have a point there.
Citizen to Masked ICEman: "You can't do that! Habeas Corpus is in the Constitution."
Masked ICEman whips out his copy of the King Trump edition, waves it at the Citizen and says, "sorry, we're not following the Old Constitution any more."
"The Republican president said companies that make computer chips in the U.S. would be spared the import tax." (which is going to blunt the pain of this one a fair amount) .

I suspect most Americans are so involved in just going about their daily lives, Trump's free to do just about anything he wants because those chickens aren't coming to roost in their living rooms - yet.
