Quote from: Zoupa on Today at 12:06:24 AMI dunno. Are you organizing any marches for them?
Yeah, from the deli.  But seriously, not caring about Palestinians dying is racism!

I'm fancying STMicroelectronics as a 'next Rolls Royce'- low downside, potentially great upside.
Thoughts?

At this point, I don't think Supreme Court decisions can be taken as precedential.  No one thinks that the holdings the Court has been announcing over the past 6 months expanding executive power will be honored if the Democrats ever retake the White House.

QuoteHegseth can revoke press access to reporters who ask anyone in the Defense Department for information — classified or otherwise — that he has not approved for release

I assume the objection is to this, a straightforward violation of the First Amendment. 

The good news is that we don't have to worry about $50 toilet paper at the Pentagon anymore; they use obsolete paper copies of the US Constitution for that now.

Quote from: HVC on Today at 07:58:35 AMI dont get it, were reporters just stumbling around the Pentagon aimlessly before?

No.  I saw a reporter maybe twice in the three years I worked there. They enter the building for interviews and meetings.  They don't hang out there waiting for something reportable to happen.

I am not sure what Hegseth is so terrified will come out, but he should know that it will inevitably come out eventually.
