DOJ Sues to Block Alaska Senate Certification if Republican Loses

I think the argument is that Democrats helped a 3rd party candidate with a similar name to the Republican candidate get on the ballot in the hopes some voters would accidentally pick the 3rd party candidate, thereby “stealing” votes from the Republican. It’s entirely plausible that’s exactly what happened, so I’d be pissed, too, but I feel no sympathy for them with all the other bullshit they’re trying to pull.

All Rudy had to do was lay low, and occasionally show up at 9/11 events, and he could’ve been remembered more or less by everyone as America’s mayor who led New York through the worst terrorist attack America’s ever seen. Instead he’ll be remembered as the guy who did a press conference in the parking lot of a lawn care company with black goo dripping down his face.

You’ve been tasked with defining a new area of criminal law called “economic and financial violence,” and creating laws to prevent it. What actions would you try to criminalize?

This one really bugs me. I worked for a company that got bought out by private equity. They sold most of the real estate that the company owned to a company that the same private equity people owned, and then made the stores pay exorbitant rent for the property the used to own. Meanwhile, they sold pieces of the company until there was nothing left, and then closed all the stores. Thousands of people lost their livelihoods.
