"Itβs an abuse of power by an intemperate cable news host using nat'l security law to destroy a company that dared to defy him. Itβs also a signal to every govt contractor that negotiating too hard may lead to being exiled from the federal marketplace."

By the way, Democrats have now flipped 27 legislative seats in Trump 2.0.
Republicans are still stuck at zero.
Even in 2017-18, the GOP managed to flip a few. This time, just a goose egg, despite several good chances.

Republicans have caused total chaos in Dallas County. It's instructive.
Whether or not Trump attempts some sort of executive order to nationalize election administration, Republicans have an endless number of paths to create absolute mayhem in November.
