Also worth context here that Stagwell is set up like another major holding company. They own Targeted Victory (R) and SKDKnickerbocker (D) as their two pillars in DC/public affairs/campaign comms. They also own other non-political

I’m always struck by US Grant in this regard. Suffering of debilitating cancer of throat, but convinced by Mark Twain and others his memoirs would bring financial benefit to his family after a failed business post presidency. He completed t

Leaving aside the merits/legality, I think the actual concern is students broadly traveling over the about to occur spring break, and then turning entire campuses into active outbreak clusters when everyone we returns within the incuba

It is also possible that 2% is an overestimate. Unlike SARS for example, it seems many infected, some estimates of 80%, may not even exhibit outward symptoms, like the high fever of SARS. This of course makes containment very difficult, ma

This seems to suggest they won't recommend a product if they can't make an affiliate deal off of it, which is not the case. Yes, they make money through these links, but I've not seen a case of them not referring to a good pr

I see you in multiple places on this thread with comments like these. So here's something to consider, Lyme Disease is actually not at all that prevalent in the South. https://www.cdc.gov/lyme/stats/maps.html

I would see it differently: The current logic and trajectory of McConnell's several Congresses as a leader would suggest the exact opposite. That if he believes his time as leader is short that he will push through more nominations and

One thing worth noting here, is that it's unclear if this means electronic surveillance is up 5x in the DC area (as the area of investigation). As the article notes, these courts routinely handle requests for nationwide investigations.

Yes but the interview seems to imply that this diminishes or somehow makes the case for the problem overblown. It says yes this is a problem, but doesn't really go into any specifics on why it's a bigger problem for those borrower

I am surprised this interview seems to ignore that the larger problem is coming from students who take loans out, but then drop out of the program before graduating, making it even harder to pay back their loans. This is an interesting arti

It's unlike it would be a Treason charge, though we are not required to be at war for that to apply. The reason would be the proof burden for Treason in court is very high, and set forth in Article III. In truth it'd be likely to

This is incredibly simplistic. Cardiovascular disease are a large umbrella problem. There are many causes, and many factors. And even atherosclerosis related heart disease is not always just a cause of exercise and diet. If you think exerci

I work in DC - and our clients have a lot of public affairs work in the portfolio. Many members of Congress, especially on the House side are more active on Twitter than you'd realize. We've found anecdotally that especially durin

I use Safari daily as my primary browser on desktop. I don't doubt it presents challenges for developers, and hope they update faster. But, not only is it fast on OS X, the battery life optimization is amazing. I run Safari without Fla

Seems to me what the article is suggesting is not so much that founders or SV suffer from something greater; but that a community that helps each other in many significant ways, could aid in improving each others mental health as well.

This works great when you have checked luggage, or if you use a non roll aboard bag, which I’ve moved to doing. Otherwise, it’s a race to get available overhead space - in part because of increased checked bag fees, and airlines not enforci

Isn't the point of a democracy to allow the people to have a voice? It is starting to seem like many progressive groups are trying to vilify an individual's freedom of speech/thought. Of course, but the norms in society do

It is definitely a free speech issue, however, I’d argue that the compelling state interests in preventing corruption and ensuring fairness and access in elections, is a great enough one to merit modest limitations. Indeed so did the Suprem

I mean there’s likely no convincing you - but there’s plenty of scholarship to disagree. The Constitution quite clearly gives Congress the power to “coin Money and regulate the value thereof.” It of course makes no additional statement as t
