Also, what? I've spent a fair bit of time at Union Station and never seen any evidence of what he's talking about (much of which is not illegal anyway). Hell, I was there last year with my kids and we ate lunch at the station and never once felt even remotely threatened or concerned. RE:

This won't be a surprise to most people, but for that small group of folks (Matt Stoller) who insisted that Trump was a legitimate antitrust hero and would continue to follow Lina Khan's path, well, that view is clearly dead and buried. RE:

The law prohibits you from collecting information on those under 13, which you violated by not collecting information on those under 13 to make sure that you were not collecting info on those under 13. I swear state AGs are the absolute worst. (The explanation of COPPA is wrong in multiple ways) RE:
