Last week’s federal court decision forbidding the Trump administration from punishing the AP for refusing to rename the Gulf of Mexico was to take effect Monday. The administration is appealing the decision and arguing with the news outlet over whether it needs to change anything until those appeals are exhausted.

The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. circuit set a Thursday hearing on Trump’s request that any changes be delayed while case is reviewed. The AP is fighting for more access as soon as possible.

      i know they wouldn’t be getting a conviction, but the dems seriously have to be bringing up impeachment if they want any political future for themselves, and they need to be doing it frequently

        Please, just let the Dems die off and become the neoliberal republicans they’ve always aspired to be.

        We need a new party that is actually left of center to even begin repairing this level of damage to the republic.

        Dems. Ain’t. It. Too old, too corrupt, and F tier political messaging.

            That requires an understanding of institutions as human-constructed entities that, in turn, require human influence and molding because they are not self-regulating systems and cannot be merely competed out of the ecosystem as if you were voting with your dollar as if they were merely brands that you, the consumer, get to leisurely signal you reject or align/identify with.
