Why is this surprising? NYC has the toughest gun control laws in the nation.

Shutting down the government was the wrong decision. But having decided to do this, the Democrats shouldn't have caved now.

The court would have issued it otherwise without the 48 hour expiration which is much shorter than usual.

His allowing foreign mercenaries may need some discussion......

No. Many excellent HHS Secretaries haven't been physicians and there are physicians who are as nuts as your retired nurse. This is about actual views, not credentials.

But also not the lefty DSA types trying to claim that Maduro is not an oppressive dictator.

No Kings As the president escalates his authoritarian power grab, the NO KINGS non-violent movement continues to rise stronger. We are united once again to remind the world: America has No Kings and the power ...

Worth a friendly reminder that the next set of nation-wide No Kings protests are set for October 18th.

There's probably one in your area.

I am not generally a crowds or protests sort of person, but there's one in my town and I'll be at it on the 18th.

Maybe. Or maybe I think the arc is longer than you do.

I'm not so sure he's committed any actual crimes (and he is high on the list of those Trump would pardon.)

Don't know if this is the best way, but it certainly seems like an excellent step to take

Safe seat members face strong incentives to endorse interest group laundry lists regardless of the politics, which then defines the national party brand in a way that is hard for frontline members to overcome in an era of nationalized politics.

The NFL does not seem to have cancelled Bad Bunny.

Effectively the same technology.

Trump is a fascist threat; I've said it many times. I merely refuse to join many of you in your fever-dream that the United States is now a fascist regime when it's not even a Hungarian or Turkish regime. I want people to be sober-minded and determined, not hysterical and ineffective.

If you are including Syria you probably have to include Iraq under Saddam Hussein. But I'm not sure either should be included.

I don't agree. But I'm probably still an enemy of the state because I call this illegal, unconstitutional and a violation of the rights of Americans.

Waffles. I like waffles. They are incredibly tasty.

Priztker: if federal agents fired upon journalists and protesters, when unprovoked, what would we call it? 

I don't think we'd have any trouble calling it what it is. Authoritarianism. 

So let's not pretend it's something else when it happens in our American cities.

It's a thoughtful outline of the strategic and tactical choices facing different levels of the judiciary in the face of executive noncompliance.

Read every word from @raskin.house.gov: "The core job of the president is plain: 'To Take care that the laws are faithfully executed.' That’s it. Not abused, not thwarted, not impounded, not redirected, but faithfully executed."

The officers are not helpless. There are also still plenty of JAG officers. This is a process of slow degradation not sudden change. For now.

Important thread on one of the two most significant separation of powers issues currently being litigated.

you can't condition purchasing one product on the purchase of another. In addition, Nextstar is the licensee of the stations and may as such be required to have control over the programming. In short, there are a number of legal issues which would or might render your statement incorrect. 2/2

I read what you wrote. Over the longer term Disney can choose who to deal with. Affiliate relationships are governed by contract however and during the term of the contract Disney doesn't have the unilateral right to terminate the relationship. Moreover under antitrust law 1/2

If they require Nextstar to take Kimmel in order to receive Monday night football, that may be (a) a contract violation and/or (b) an antitrust violation. When you say Disney has the right to do this, what are you basing it on?

I don't think it's extreme to say that NATO should knock Russian drones & planes out of the sky if they cross into NATO airspace. Defending NATO countries from a belligerent Russia is literally the point of NATO.

This seems insane from any strategic perspective.

Is there a primary?
