Soon the city will descend into anarchy.
Now I know that the blizzard is an emergency. Door dash has suspended services.
maybe these two stories could have been one story. NYT with a not so subtle choice of article placement.

Thanks for posting. Looks interesting and will read with interest. Glad to see academic posts like this on Bluesky.
This pretty damning. Hard to see how faculty will take his leadership seriously.
Did I miss something or did today's WSJ not even mention the 5th anniversary of the January 6h insurrection?

Maybe those Mercator Maps were not such a good idea after all.
Five years since the January 6th insurrection and a reminder that in the moment many Republicans and Trump voters were appalled, but many also were not.

Today, those structures are virtually absent. America has had no ambassador in Moscow since June. There is no assistant secretary of state for European and Eurasian affairs. Witkoff has declined multiple offers from the CIA for a briefing on Russia. The State Department assigned a small group of staffers to support Witkoff, but members of that team, and others across the administration, have struggled to get summaries of Witkoff's foreign meetings. Longtime allies in
