Lots of delays for flights from NYC to Miami this morning…(beyond normal Dec 26 issues). Pilot (who has flown for 40yrs) said there is a huge spike in private planes flying from northeast to Florida and that is causing a big backup for commercial travel. Said this is highly unusual.

The Supreme Court declined to take up a pair of gun-rights cases Monday, leaving in place Maryland’s ban on semiautomatic military-style rifles and Rhode Island’s restrictions on large-capacity magazines.

It's Men's Mental Health Month. During a SmackDown, LA Knight took a second and delivered this message. "If something arises in your life that hits you in your feels and you have to cry, let it out, it’s good for your mental health, it’s good for you, it doesn’t make you any less of a man."

Not only that, the residents were originally forced there from their old village in 1949 by the BIA saying they needed a school. School wasn’t built until 1958. It’s gross what has been done to these poor people.

10/ Instead of serving as a model, the Mertarvik relocation highlights a lack of preparation on the part of the U.S. government to respond to climate change. And its residents are paying the price.

According to a Nixon-era law & SCOTUS case, presidents can’t hold back congressionally allocated funds because they disagree with a project. But that’s what Donald Trump is trying to do & the real question is whether this SCOTUS will let him get away with it. joycevance.substack.com/p/impoundment

1) The memo was garbage and setting them up for legal defeat 2) Jumping the gun on this was creating enormous political blowback 3) It was imperiling Vought's confirmation. BUT the guy who wants to be head of OMB has said repeatedly and explicitly he belives Trump has exactly this power.
