Chris has it exactly right:
a. Cannon has no jurisdiction because of the appeal of the dismissal. She has no power to do jack shit in this case now.
b. She’s got no business addressing the 1/6 report not only because of (a) but because that’s totally separate from the case she dismissed.

Why the top House Democrat is not accusing the House Republicans of covering up an investigation of the sexual misconduct of an AG nominee is beyond me. Fight, harder.

You see, I know a bit of what it’s like to be politically scapegoated. When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor in 1941, suddenly anyone in America who had any amount of Japanese ancestry became suspect. Politicians preyed upon ignorance and fear. /1

Some things listed as "pre-existing conditions" have no relation to potential mortality. Multiple studies were done showing that weight is a pre-existing condition for Covid only in that heavier people received worse care and thus had worse outcomes.

Last month, the so-called American Academy of Sciences and Letters gave a medal to Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, who advocated for mass COVID infection. NY Post framed it as a “top award.”
We looked into it. AASL is 2 years old—part of a right-wing dark money network trying to transform elite universities.

IMO, the hope for US garment manufacturing isn't in raising tariffs. This would only raise the cost of inputs, making US exports less competitive on the global market. The hope is to move US garment manufacturing upstream: higher end garments, custom garments, quick turnarounds
