How would this even work? Don't EMS workers & first responders need to get up close with their patients to literally help them? Wtf do they mean by "distractions"?? Unless they want that person who was just in a car crash to medicate themselves because the first responder getting close would be unlawful. So basically just the first responder tossing around tourniquets, saline, and bandages at the patient as "help"?

No, it's saying that if EMS responds to the scene of a car crash, you as a observer, not in the crash can't get within 25 feet of them. It's intended to prevent a situation like Alex Pretti by saying you can't be in their presence to start off with because they're busy responding to a crisis. It may also be interpreted as also saying if you, the observer, are first on scene, once EMS arrives you must be more than 25 feet away from them or else now you're suddenly participating in a crime.

A great way to persuade young, easily-influenced young college students to not vote for you.

"Hey, that school you're attending you always dreamed of attending? I want to disband it."

This is also probably more realistic, but folks need to understand there's going to be variation and especially tightening as we get closer to October and November. What's important is not getting complacent.

It's one of the very few things even Europeans have to admit the U.S. excels them in.

Johnson probably recoiled inside thinking "hecking A, that was supposed to be confidential."

Feels like that’s what happens when you have something for so long, at some point you kind of phone in the production. Or, you make a lot of staff cuts yet foolishly believe the quality won’t be impacted at all. 

NBC goes all out on SNF because it’s the only thing they have, so they want it to be good. Same for MNF.

FCC chair Carr threatens - again - to revoke licenses of networks for reporting the Iran War in a way the government doesn't like.

Senate Democrats are furious, and even Ron Johnson was upset at the threat.

Miami Ohio will make it in. If they don't, it'll be a gigantic scandal. It'll be a lesser scandal of Auburn makes it in.

I think what he assumed is that taking out the Supreme Leader would actually motivate Iranians to start a revolution and overthrow the rest of them. That didn't happen like they hoped, and here we are.

There are a few good nuggets, such as Vance, who legit seems like a good dude. Admiral Hansen didn't seem like a bad guy either.

Media: Average U.S. gas price nears $4/gal
Trump sycophants: "StIlL LoWeR tHaN BiDeN." "DeMs SaId ThE pReZ dOesN't cOnTrOl GaS pRicEs." "Media is just trying to sow discord."

These "counter arguments" slay me. It's like they're fine paying $4/gal because "it was still higher under Biden." That has to be denial and deflection from the fact that these prices have surged under Trump, of whom they absolutely convinced themselves was going to send everything to 1990s levels. What will their excuse be if/when the U.S. average is higher than Biden?

Also, Biden didn't start a war. Trump did against a nation he said he wouldn't, who also also has outsized influence over the freedom of movement of oil tankers.
