Hey, Drake Law Alums, someone go stick a $10 bill in your old Opperman Law Library study carrel with a slightly more inspiring note than this one. It will make you feel better about the world.
We are heartbroken to learn that Declan Coady—a well-loved and highly dedicated Drake University student studying information systems, cybersecurity, and computer science—was confirmed to be among the six U.S. service members killed in Kuwait on Sunday. He has bravely served in the U.S. Army Reserves since 2023 as an Information Technologies Specialist and had an incredibly bright future ahead of him. In moments like these, we must all come together to show much-needed love and compassion for the Coady family through this incredibly difficult time.
With great sadness we mourn the loss of TGC co-founder Timothy Keller, 72, who died today, more than three years after he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

Daddy,
You’re not here to celebrate your 93rd birthday today, but you left us with so much wisdom, love and purpose to carry forward.
Thank you.

Every day is #MLKDay to me.

The greatest gift my elementary school ever gave me was Mr. Sutton teaching me the "Fifty Nifty United States" song. As someone who now handles compliance in ethics issues nationwide, I sing that song, in my head, every single week just to compose emails. #thankyouteachers
New: Senate Dem voting rights bill — the Freedom to Vote Act — is presently not expected to move this week as Manchin continues to seek Republicans to join the bill, per source familiar.
An infant girl and her older sister were in the Pentagon day care center on 9/11. Today they're in the U.S. military https://t.co/hdLl9viW9G via @CBSPolitics
To the outstanding Airmen who have worked tirelessly and selflessly over the last several days evacuating Afghans, Americans and the vulnerable, I want to personally thank you for your sacrifices and applaud your bravery.
@SeanTrende@BruneElections@henryolsenEPPC@HotlineJosh@baseballcrank Certainly something to weigh when thinking about the costs to house all of those election materials in one place, there's also real world risks (floods, fires, etc.) that could destroy everything the longer ballots just sit. 2/2
@SeanTrende@BruneElections@henryolsenEPPC@HotlineJosh@baseballcrank It's more logical than that. Under federal law ballots have to be ready 45 days before an election for military and overseas voters. So presumably local jurisdictions are just sitting on prepared materials for weeks if they wait to start in-person or absentee voting. 1/2
