Just... not anywhere close to Trump-owned real estate.

Weren’t you paying attention? He’s not going to use price controls, he’s going to use container size controls.

It can’t be communist if it’s big!

I’m assuming the phrasing restricts it to cases that were in U.S. jurisdiction and that would be legally considered murder.

According to the Wikipedia article on West African Vodun:

Many vodúnsɛntó practice their traditional religion alongside Christianity, for instance by interpreting Jesus Christ as a vodún. [...] The possessed person is often referred to as the vodún itself.

I thought that was the head of Latinos for Trump, not Trump himself.

The case is the first in U.S. history in which an elected official is accused of murdering an American journalist.

So there are known cases in the U.S. of elected officials murdering non-American journalists?

Apart from the assassination attempt, the rest might be more simply explained by the existence of an opposing campaign attempting to defeat him.

Definitely—so sources that are close together when projected onto a left-right axis may be far apart in a more multidimensional political space. But the relative ordering along that axis can still be accurate, even if the implied proximity isn’t.

Developmentally, our hands and feet are modifications of the same underlying genetic template, so they’re going to have similar morphology.

Where anyone puts the “center” of the political spectrum is arbitrary and ultimately irrelevant. What we should still be able to expect is that it gets the ordering of sources correct—i.e., it doesn’t label Source A as being to the left of Source B if it’s actually to the right. And that relative ordering is still useful, as long as we bear in mind that the actual labels are otherwise arbitrary.

The Elitzur–Vaidman bomb-tester is a quantum mechanics thought experiment that uses interaction-free measurements to verify that a bomb is functional without having to detonate it. It was conceived in 1993 by Avshalom Elitzur and Lev Vaidman. Since their publication, real-world experiments have confirmed that their theoretical method works as predicted.
