It is not often that you see senator-on-senator crime of this magnitude. Senator Brian Schatz, Democrat of Hawaii, who in the past has commented favorably on this shebeen proprietor's chosen summer attire, apparently awoke on Thursday to discover that Senator Josh Hawley, Republican of Missouri, was standing atop his last nerve with hobnailed boots and doing a buck-and-wing. Schatz proceeded to treat Hawley to a rhetorical beatdown. Under discussion was Hawley's bizarre tactic of holding up critical Department of Defense nominations until Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin resigns because reasons.
Excellent examples are being made everywhere these days, from the US to Mexico to Southeast Asia. The not-so-humble hooded sweatshirt is still the reigning champ. I was born in Texas, but I'm a Northern boy at heart. I don't even recall my first few months of life down in the Lone Star State. My memory kicks in where I grew up: Pennsylvania, nestled in the Brandywine Valley between Philadelphia and Wilmington, Delaware. And now? I live in Brooklyn. What I'm saying here is that I have no grand cultural claim to cowboy boots. And yet, I'm about to tell you why I've started wearing them, and why you should, too. The pair in question is by Tecovas, a brand also born in Texas. The make is called the Johnny. And it convinced me that embracing a little yeehaw this spring isn't just possible—it's a damn good idea.
For the first time, the collaboration features clothing for the warmer season. Nova Basan, a town sixty miles east of Kyiv, was not the first town the all-volunteer Bratstvo battalion liberated from Russian forces, or the second, or the third. It was the fourth. What's more, Sunday's counter-offensive pushed the Russian forces—already in retreat, but still fighting—decisively out of the region. With support from the Ukrainian army, special forces and police, the hastily assembled volunteer unit has had a dramatic effect on the course of battle for Kyiv. The volunteers of Bratstvo, Ukrainian for "brotherhood," are a mix of men who first served during Russia's 2014 invasion of Crimea, and younger men eager to fight alongside on the frontlines this time.
