Incongruous or not, Democrat Sherrod Brown (Ohio) is running for a US Senate seat. What makes this so ironically interesting is that Democrats view Brown, a physician’s son who has been running for office for longer than most Americans have been alive, as the key to reconnecting with blue-collar workers.

James Freeman in the WSJ cites The Almanac of American Politics:

Brown has held elected office virtually his entire adult life… After graduating from Yale University in 1974, he went directly to the campaign trail, winning a seat in the Ohio House that year as he was turning 22.

After losing last October to Republican challenger Bernie Moreno, who, as an ex-executive of a utilities company, likely understands the electrical grid, Brown jumped on the political bandwagon to run for Ohio’s other seat in the U.S. Senate.

Jarring or not, Brown seems like the perfect politician: (1) Brown never had a real job, (2) Brown speaks fluent partisan nonsense, (3) Brown prefers to be, rather than do.

In a press release, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser just announced the Juvenile Curfew Emergency Amendment Act of 2025. The Act is emergency legislation to “strengthen and enhance enforcement and accountability tools for juveniles, with a specific focus on a stronger and more flexible curfew program.”

From DC Mayor Muriel Bowser:

“Most of our young people are doing the right thing, but unfortunately, we continue to see troubling trends in how groups of young people are gathering in the community – in ways that too often lead to violence and other unlawful behaviors.

And when we see patterns of unsafe or unlawful behavior that put young people and the community at risk, we have to act. This emergency legislation gives us stronger, more flexible tools to prevent violence and disorder before it starts and to keep our community safe.”
