Trump Threatens Nation With Good Time
Trump: "They're gonna make DC a state and they're gonna make Puerto Rico a state. So now they pick up two states, four senators. They're gonna pick up electoral votes. It's gonna be a very, very bad situation. Now, if we do what I'm saying, they'll most likely never obtain power."

In addition to their national defense duties, Americans rely on our National Guard to fight wildfires and respond to other natural disasters.
Donald Trump's weaponization of the Guard and deployments to American cities erodes that trust, and makes us less prepared when they are most needed.

The administration’s fight with Home Depot has escalated from the initial raids by the crack ICE agents in Sealant Team 6 to a full blown economic war.

So Sinclair is your affiliate deal with ABC like the standard deals when I was in local TV?
If you choose NOT to air any ABC show, ABC gets to offer it to another station in your market(s)? In other words you just gave a network show to one of your rivals in 86 markets?
