Unpopular opinion: getting a vote on subsidies which will of course lose is not a nothing. It can be valuable against every R Senator next November. But prolonging this game of shutdown chicken could turn public opinion against both Dems and Rs whereas now Dems are not largely blamed

CBS is now state news. Thatโ€™s why.

A running team from Chicago posted that Trumpโ€™s federal agents dragged a runner (67 years old) from his car, broke his ribs, and caused internal bleeding.

what a stupid graphic. if you show 2020 where people were reasonably concerned the end of the world as they knew it was near compared to 2024 or any other time, of course the emotional health of people improved.

I clicked on the link in the article and reviewed the SCOTUS opinion cited. That case arose in a different context and involved a question other than corporate powers and in my view does not support what the authors of the article lead the reader to suppose.

No. Corporate laws give corporate powers. My state canโ€™t tell P&G how to run its board meetings even if they are held in Hawaii. They might be able to limit how soap is sold here but thatโ€™s operational and not corporate. (I practiced corporate law 32 years)

Not really much of a solution unless Delaware (corporate home for 99 percent of large cap companies) were to change its corporate law, unfortunately.

โ€œlooks seriousโ€? you means as compared to downright laughable as in the Comey and James cases?

This isnโ€™t governmental deception, right? this is apparently Goldman Sachs? If so they are of course guessing but hard to attribute bad motive

If you are Franklin, you will now look resigned and humbled, express appreciation to the Administration and fans for all the support and your eternal
love for Penn State, and when you get home you with will pop the champagne. $45 million?? Thatโ€™s insane! Good for him.

I love the headline use of โ€œabsurdโ€. Why canโ€™t other mainstream news outlets grow a pair and report like this?

this is a NYC-centric view. True, she was not effusive but she tried to steer the question to support of Dem candidates that were up for election in other states. She wasnโ€™t telegraphing displeasure with Mandani as much as with the incessant focus on NYC politics.

itโ€™s pointless, the facts of what he said are already clear (itโ€™s recorded on air), and it diverts from the core principle.

Donโ€™t go there with anybody. Kimmel had a right to say whatever he said. Period. If you go down the rabbit hole of proving that Kimmel was reasonable in what he said, then it would appear you agree that if what Kimmel said was wrong or outrageous or offensive to some, THEN he could be censored.

โ€œshut downโ€?? Even if these two hold fast, the vote could still be five to four.

this was actually old
news. CBS News agreed to the appointment of a Trump โ€œtruth monitorโ€ over a month ago as part of its government merger approval. This is the truth monitor by another more palatable name.

this is the Trump โ€œtruth monitorโ€ agreed to a month ago to get merger approval.

This โ€œOmbudsmanโ€ is likely the Trump-mandated โ€œtruth monitorโ€ stipulated as oart of the merger approval. CBS News is gone.
