Well, that (relatively) good feeling didn’t last long. Trump fired Jeff Sessions. According to this Trump Is Not above the Law page, this is “one step short of the break glass moment” that would trigger a rapid response protest.
I released Unread and Feed Hawk updates to support the 2018 iPad Pro. The Unread update required some design tweaks. The traditional layout would have put the title label right under the home indicator, and the iPhone X layout would have looked silly on such a wide device.

Boston 2002, after the Patriots win the Superbowl: announcement that there will be a parade 2 days later. Who knew champion cities got parades?? Boston 2018: So, the parade will be Tuesday?
World Series champions.

Early voting FTW.
