Many of those same Swift fans declared themselves fans of Clark in her ongoing women's basketball rivalry against Reese.

Kansas GOP leader makes a compelling case for why his party should lose supermajority • Kansas Reflector
What if a political party holding near total power in a state admits to stalling bills for nakedly political purposes? What if a political party holding near total power in a state admits to throwing away taxpayer money? What if a political party holding near total power in a state admits to planning a repeat of budgetary catastrophe? Fair-minded folks would wonder why that political party holds so much power, and they might ponder whether its opponents could do better. Because we all function in the gigantic professional wrestling arena of partisan politics, however, we’re asked to believe things that Kansas Republicans themselves clearly don’t believe.

Boeing Cuts 17,000 Jobs As Strike Halts Production
Boeing Cuts 17,000 Jobs As Strike Halts Production Aerospace giant struggles with deepening losses and delays amid labor unrest and safety concernsBoeing, the aerospace giant, recently announced plans to reduce its workforce by approximately 17,000 employees, translating to about 10% of its total staff. The timing of the layoff announcement is particularly notable, occurring at the same time as the IAMAW's labor strike, which began following the union's rejection of Boeing's proposed contract. The strike has instigated considerable disruption, halting production lines for several models including the 737 Max, 767, and 777X jets. Before the strike, Boeing was already facing significant economic burdens. Set against its uncertain future, Boeing is gearing up for what many hope will be its turning point.
