From DC Gridlock to Rising DUI-THC Deaths, Virginia’s Volatile AG Race, Campus Extremism, and the NFL’s Halftime Misfire
Manage episode 512594130 series 2947614
Government gridlock bleeds into daily life as paychecks stall, airports slow, and families shoulder the cost. We track THC-impaired driving data, a volatile Virginia AG race, Rutgers’ “Dr. Antifa,” and the NFL’s halftime calculus—then end with a rare glimmer of Middle East diplomacy.
• why a “clean” extension failed and who blocked it
• early shutdown impacts on aviation and federal workers
• THC impairment trends, enforcement gaps, and deterrence
• responsibility versus revenue in cannabis policy
• Virginia AG rhetoric normalising political violence
• cooperation breakdowns between ICE and sanctuary cities
• social media snapshots versus full-context reality
• academic freedom versus advocacy of extremism at Rutgers
• NFL halftime audience fit and advertiser pressure
• narrow diplomatic window in Israel–Hamas talks
Keep moving, keep shooting
