www.washingtonpost.com/science/2019/11/14/cabinet-members-wife-lambasted-trump-administration-letting-man-import-lion-trophy/?tid=sm_fbLouise Linton did something I agree with and I feel weird about it. “”Americans should not be permitted to kill exotic animals for fun!!” Linton wrote next to the passage from the Center for Biological Diversity. She asked her followers to pressure Congress to pass the Conserving Ecosystems by Ceasing the Importation of Large Animal Trophies (CECIL) Act, which would prohibit the import or export of threatened or endangered species.“ Granted she doesn’t feel the same way about children at the border, so any positive feelings have been redacted.

👀😑😡 New nugget --> Sondland is also fending off attacks from within his Brussels office. Some of his subordinates recoiled at his support for plan to boost immigration from Europe they viewed as racially motivated. He denies that intention, but says he worked on it w/ Stephen Miller t.co/jzI2cmUPcO

It's like an 8th grader running for student council vowing to eliminate homework. I know it sounds out of left field but it is actually a thing. Louisiana has insane car insurance rates. The highest in the nation, I believe. (I only know this bc a friend from Louisiana was telling me about it recently).

I mean, I think it's great to check big insurance, but that's seems awfully big government to me and very off brand for repubs.

I don't know enough about the root causes of the high rates to really respond, but there are probably laws that can be enacted to at least help. It could be a question of the minimums required.

Rate increases have to be approved by the DOI here. So that could play a part. But depending on the actuarial tables, companies who do business and well how good or bad the drivers are, they could be justified or the could be fleecing the insureds

Insurance companies are regulated by state insurance departments, and rates are supported by actuarial calculations. Not always a case of 'jacking up' rates for no reason at all, or for some states to have higher rates than others without good reason. Of course, never hurts to have outside eyes for a perspective.
Your car (or home or other) insurance is not equivalent to mine due to a number of factors - some will play in 'your' favor, some in 'mine', often without any nefarious purpose. However, in Louisiana, I would be looking closely at their DOI - historically they don't have a great reputation.

Masha now with a warning: this sequence of events makes clear to governments worldwide that they can exploit a rift between ambassadors and POTUS that some falsely believe, and it sends a message to ambassadors that the government will not have their backs

Michigan has title of highest car insurance rates in the country because it covers unlimited personal injury protection. It was definitely an issue that candidates ran on during the 2018 election. They passed a law that is supposed to lower it but I can't remember what it was exactly.

I think it was a prank, but it still hurts, you know? Oh totally. I remember we had a copycat threat after Columbine. Nothing happened, but it was scary as shit for a few days. I don't think they ever proved who did it.
