Constructor's Note
Always happy for criticism/feedback! I feel like I was a bit looser with my clues this week. Heads up for an Americanism on 21D! There's low-key a theme to some of this puzzle but not one you need to know (or notice) to be able to solve

    Thought for a sec you were making some commentary on 21D with T (tomorrow) and RUMP (the end). Gotta get away from election news 🙂
