Cobb wrote: First, the DOD Defendants have exceeded the bounds of their authority under Title 49 of the D.C. Code, and thus acted contrary to law, in deploying the DCNG for non-military, crime-deterrence missions in the absence of a request from the city's civil authorities, the opinion reads. Second, these Defendants lack statutory authority under 32 U.S.C. 502 to support their request for assistance from out-of-state National Guards and their actions in calling those Guards to the District.
Months after fighting to keep secret the emails exchanged between Texas Governor Greg Abbott's office and tech billionaire Elon Musk's companies, state officials released nearly 1,400 pages to The Texas Newsroom. The records, however, reveal little about the two men's relationship or Musk's influence over state government. In fact, all but about 200 of the pages are entirely blacked out.
You know, this is a poll that came out yesterday, a Marquette University Law School poll, and I don't think it picked up enough coverage that it should have, because these numbers should be truly frightening to Republicans. Why do I point it out? Why do I say that? Okay, Dems versus Republicans on the generic congressional ballot. If you look at all voters, this matches the average. You see Democrats up by five points.

LOCK THEM UP???," Trump posted. An hour later, Trump shared another post, stating, "SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!" Trump also reposted a series of comments from users on Truth Social, including posts that said the Democrats should be hanged, the actions were an insurrection and they should all be indicted because of the video.
The president has achieved much that so many of his reflexive, liberal critics refuse to acknowledge and so often conflate with his true failings. To name only a few, he's slashed onerous taxes and burdensome regulations, struck blows against progressive absurdity on gender issues and DEI, crippled the Iranian nuclear program, and put three superb justices on the Supreme Court.
Earlier this month, President Donald Trump quietly pardoned 77 people across the country who participated in the fake electors scheme of 2020, the wildly illegal attempt to subvert election results in battleground states that Joe Biden won and instead declare Trump the winner.
The new mandate restricts how quickly and broadly Correctional Health Services physicians can prescribe the medication. Priority will be given to people when they first enter the jail system - the largest in California - which houses roughly 13,000 people across nine main facilities. Everyone else who wants medication will be placed on a waitlist. "It's misleading because we just put people on this list and then they stay on the list," said a physician.
The current and former police officials say they commend the Legislature for what they describe as tremendous progress in fighting this epidemic, but argue that several other priorities need attention, including cracking down on deepfake and artificial intelligence voice scams and passing bill S7382/A8051.

Representative Dina Titus, of Nevada, sent a letter to Nevada Governor Joe Lombardo Wednesday night, urging him to hold Elon Musk's tunneling company, Boring Company, accountable after firefighters were burned by chemicals in its tunnels and after the company was caught dumping wastewater in Las Vegas manholes. "This project in Southern Nevada has been riddled with safety and environmental concerns since the start," wrote Congresswoman Titus, a Democrat, and one of four politicians representing the state of Nevada in the U.S. House of Representatives.
We are veterans and national security professionals who love this country and swore an oath to protect and defend the Constitution of the United States. That oath lasts a lifetime, and we intend to keep it. No threat, intimidation, or call for violence will deter us from that sacred obligation, began the Democrats' statement, adding: What's most telling is that the President considers it punishable by death for us to restate the law.
Along the way, they've collected civil-rights suits and irate federal judges, and the list of people they've arrested has been light on hardened criminals. They've also produced plenty of video footage. "Nobody tells us where to go, when to go, how to go in our fucking country," Border Patrol Commander-at-Large Gregory Bovino said in one of his many John Wick -style promotional videos, this one showing him giving a pep talk to agents in Chicago.
Two days earlier, Condé announced the near-shuttering of Teen Vogue, which entailed letting go of eight people. My termination and that of three of my coworkers were clearly retaliatory, and if Condé can get away with this-and with President Donald Trump sabotaging the National Labor Relations Board, the company appears to be betting that it can-it will send a message to unions and employers across our industry that the foundations of labor law are collapsing.
