She would agree with Nyhan and her critics in more ordinary times, she says—which, she insists, these are not, with a president unabashedly profiting off his office. “To look at the available evidence and not see that there is a serious problem with this administration is nuts,” she says. “That doesn’t mean I am going to telegraph to you where a case will lead, but I am unapologetic about saying that there is enough to start an investigation here and here and here. A criminal investigation into his foundation. A criminal investigation into his family and his business and himself. I mean, let’s look.”

All of this has led to Teachout becoming something of a favorite punching bag on the right, too. Fox News has particularly targeted her, especially after Teachout cut a video promising to bring prosecutions against ICE agents who commit criminal acts, with both Tucker Carlson and “Fox & Friends” getting their licks in.

Brass Heart’s two menus interlock in fascinating ways. Take the bread course. On the regular menu, it’s a buttery, cinnamon-roll-like brioche ladled with honey, topped with fried chicken cracklings, and flanked by sweet pickle strips — a riff on the Southern tradition of serving fried chicken on white bread. The mirror-image vegan version Kerney and pastry chef Shawn Anderson-Calix have conjured up is virtuosic: This brioche, made with flax seed and vegetable-based butter — and boasting a texture miraculously indistinguishable from that of the nonvegan roll — is crowned with sweet-acidic pepper jam and a dusting of pepitas.

Women’s Flyweight Title Bout: #1 Valentina Shevchenko (15-3, 123.5 lbs.) vs. Joanna Jedrzejczyk (15-2, 123.75 lbs.)

They aren’t the catchiest names, it’s true. Pups get their proper ones at six weeks, when they’re taken to the National Breeding Centre. In the meantime, some volunteers call them all after characters in Coronation Street or Harry Potter. But in the Seales family and dozens of others, it’s become almost normal to coo, "hiiiii, little right fore girrrrlllllll!" at a tiny, wriggling ball of dog.

Perfect Harmony Elsewhere, the Horus-M3 CC’s construction is excellent. Fretwork and the factory setup are both superb. The only minor issue I noted, a cosmetic one, was slight unevenness in the paintwork in the tremolo’s top recessed cavity. (Although it’s possible it may have been done intentionally as a design element.)

The manual and hydraulic excavator thumbs from Solesbees, A Kinshofer Co., Winston, Ga., allow operators to move from one application to another, such as moving dirt or material, without changing attachments. The thumb’s strength enables operators to grip materials of all sizes that a bucket cannot handle alone, the company says. Contractors can grab and place materials, including trees, pipes, rocks and scrap materials, then fold the thumb down to use the bucket.

ROUND TWO: They touch gloves for the second round. Jab from Santos lands and they trade body kicks then clinch again. Manuwa lands an elbow but Santos clips him with a knee and a series of elbows before they break. Uppercut and a straight left from Santos cause Manuwa to face plant and this one is over.

OK. Instead of a “shoot-out,” let’s say that there was an “exchange of gunfire.” Strike the word “massacre” entirely, and also cut some of the wonky stuff about fluctuating water subsidies. In the graf where he’d written about the clashing ideologies of the two militias, Roy injects some antiseptic: The Big-Wheelers are no longer “militantly antigovernment” but “concerned about regulatory overreach”; the evidence that the group tried to poison a city’s water supply is replaced with the line “They had a cache of potentially toxic additives.”

ROUND TWO: Ansaroff lands an uppercut and a kick into a right hand. Gadelha tries a takedown but Ansaroff shucks her off. It’s clear that Gadelha is already slowing down a bit and Ansaroff is pressing forward. Leg kicks from Ansaroff, she’s managing the distance where Gadelha isn’t. Jabs from Ansaroff, Gadelha lands a right to the body but gets countered again. Gadelha is coming forward now but she’s following and can’t close distance, she’s not even feinting at this point. Calf kick from Ansaroff lands. That lead hand from Ansaroff is troubling Gadelha, who shoots a takedown and gets it into side control, she needed that badly. Ansaroff is trying to shrimp, and gets half guard back. They both fire punches to the head. Gadelha throws hammer fists to the body but she’s not doing much with this position yet. Gadelha stands but wont do anything else before the round ends.

ROUND THREE: Another touch of gloves at the start of the round. There’s some swelling around the left side of Holloway’s face, not bad but worth noting. Body kick from Ortega then a left hook. Right from Holloway as they separated from a clinch. Holloway lands to the body but eats a hard right and Holloway is backing up. Ortega is coming forward, he hits a double leg along the fence and nearly gets the back before Holloway slide shim off and gets free. Ortega lands another right, he’s finding that punch now. Hard spinning elbow from Ortega and a leg kick. Holloway lands a right but eats another counter. Holloway lands a calf kick, Ortega lands a leg kick. Right from Holloway, he’s slipping the counter hooks. Ortega lands an uppercut but eats a right. I can’t believe the chins on these two. Lefts and rights from Holloway and they clinch up on the fence. Holloway is on the fence, Ortega is looking for a trip but Holloway slips free and lands a right. Combination from Holloway lands and he’s coming forward now. Ortega lands another right as Holloway is along the fence. Right from Holloway lands, Ortega misses an uppercut and takes another right. This fight is nuts. Another takedown attempt from Ortega hits the fence but the action stalls as the round ends.
