Of course they would. The legislators had a big say in getting the justices on the NC Supreme Court in the first place.

Wifey has NewsNation on cos she likes Chris Cuomo. But a lot of nights Leland's show feels like Fox News Lite. And she falls asleep with the TV on so we have Cuomo, Vittert and Banfield on a loop. All night :(
"Ok Google play BBC World Service on BBC Sounds" needs to be uttered more often...

There is a way out. But MAGAs don't want to do it. Majority leader Thune can simply get his caucus to change the Senate rules to make it a simple majority rather than a 60 vote one. Then they can pass whatever spending bill they want.

Yet those same MAGA Senators won't do the same to pass a resolution to keep the government open. It's in their power to do so.
We know where their priorities lie and it's not in service to the American people.

Would it be true that "emergency Medicaid" reimburses hospitals for anyone, not just undocumented? I'm not 100% clear how it works. And wouldn't it be a state by state thing?

Sirius XM have two main stations for classic rock. Classic Vinyl for the 60s and 70s. Classic Rewind for 70s and 80s and a bit of 90s.
Plus a good classic is timeless IMO.

Then please feel some pity for those in the EDM scene. Dance music from the 1990s is "classic". But thankfully house, hip-hop and such from the 1970s and 1980s is just called Old School... And Disco is erm... Disco.

Hmm. Maybe Canada should threaten to open talks with the EU about joining the single market and customs union.

And then coverage of the US Army's 250th Birthday Parade, which Leland anchored. If the No Kings protests were mentioned at that time, it was basically the situation in LA, never the hundreds of other peaceful marches and demonstrations.
So yeah, I feel they have lurched rightwards. 4/4

...those opinions need to be left at the door and all sides need to be represented.
My biggest bug bear is Leland Vittert. Yes he's ex Fox News but the guy doesn't seem to have checked out of Fox News. His show seems so Fox Lite to me. 3/4

Chris Cuomo - when Israel had their air raids into Iran - I did not hear anything from the Iranian side on his show. Very pro Israel. When it's Israel and Palestinian issues the Palestinian voice is absent. It's OK to be a supporter of Israel. As a news anchor of a balanced network... 2/4

The film "It Happened Here" spooked me so much, it reminds me that one simple turn of events can change things. That's why freedom isn't free - the price is "attention".
