The internet is a single-cast architecture that has been pushed to do broadcasts. It’s amazing that more issues hadn’t shown up sooner.

Rampell: I agree that probably people were voting based on the price of eggs, but the argument that I think you're also making is that now Trump has a mandate to do all of this other stuff that voters were not motivated by including putting a alleged trafficker in charge of the DOJ

too many people are trying to watch it so netflix is apparently at capacity. you'd think they'd have bought more servers for this but...
Is the Netflix stream (for the Tyson fight) freezing for everyone or do I just have bad internet service? It seems like this happens often with Netflix live events/high demand shows.

We can’t address the challenges that our hemisphere faces without tackling gun trafficking. The United States saw a huge increase in gun exports due to Trump-era policies. If Republicans are serious at all about real solutions to immigration, they need to start with reversing that tide.
Last year, I introduced the ARMAS Act – a comprehensive bill to disrupt the trafficking from the United States that contributes to violence and forced migration abroad.
In most of these countries, American gun trafficking is the main enabler of gun violence. When cartels and criminal gangs want weapons, they turn to the United States.
Over the years, I’ve met dozens of leaders from Latin America and the Caribbean who plead with the United States to stop the flow of guns into their countries. Caribbean countries accounted for 6 of the world’s 10 highest murder rates – and in Haiti especially, conditions are rapidly deteriorating.
73% – nearly three-quarters – of guns recovered from Caribbean countries can be traced back to the United States, mostly from gun stores in states like Texas, Georgia, and Florida.
