Here's a bit of what Ezra had to say about the Ottawa mayor's reaction to the Freedom Convoy this weekend: By the way, the city is not in fact shut down by the truckers.

And the 800,000 a day in policing — exactly. Why so much? Why...

How far can you go on a single tank of gas........... From an email: Poor Brad: Brad lives in California. He was sick of the world, of Covid-19, of Trump, Russian belligerence, China, global warming, racial tensions, and the rest of the disturbing stories that occupy media headlines.

HARRISBURG, Pa. – The five-member commission redrawing the boundaries of Pennsylvania's state legislative districts voted Friday to approve new maps for the next decade, with a focus on the state's fast-growing Latino population that could change the face of the predominantly white House and Senate. The Legislative Reapportionment Commission voted 4-1 during a meeting in the Capitol, with chair Mark Nordenberg, the Senate Republican leader and the House and Senate Democratic leaders voting for it.

It would hit Alina Black at Trader Joe’s, a wave of guilt and shame that made her skin crawl. Something as simple as nuts. They came wrapped in plastic, often in layers of it, that she imagined leaving her house and traveling to a landfill, where it would remain through her lifetime and the lifetime of her children. She longed, really longed, to make less of a mark on the earth. At the age of 37, these conflicting forces were slowly closing on her, like a set of jaws. In the early-morning hours, after nursing the baby, she would slip...
