New York Court of Appeals has shot down an appeal from against a issued in his civil fraud trial.

"On the Court's own motion, appeal dismissed, without costs, upon the ground that no substantial constitutional question is directly involved," the court wrote in a Tuesday ruling. "Motion for a stay dismissed as academic."

CNN has decided to promote a presidential candidate who, when he was president, tried to prevent his elected successor from taking office. It was an attempted coup d'etat.

CNN to democracy: Up yours.

Big Journalism is deliberately repeating the worst of its past performance. Let's stop pretending otherwise.

The choice to hold a "town hall" for Trump on CNN means that the corporate Dems are making the same mistake they made in 2016: They believe their best bet for holding the White House with a crappy candidate nobody particularly likes is if Trump is the opponent. Awesome job there, Brain Trust.

Biden is intentionally giving in to rightwing necro politics.

Today is Day 1 without the health benefits of the Covid national emergency that Trump put into place and Biden ended.

(Biden has, however, continued to extend Bush's 9/11 national emergency and Clinton's Cuban blockade national emergency.)

"Twitter added a "state-affiliated media" tag to NPR's main account on Tuesday, applying the same label to the nonprofit media company that Twitter uses to designate official state mouthpieces and propaganda outlets in countries such as Russia and China."

I don't know how any legitimate news outlets can stay on Twitter. It's run by a propagandist to spread disinformation.

Since Marc Garneau is leaving politics, I can now share how, before his historic first orbital flight in 1984, his assignment to the mission faced hostility from NASA astronauts.
However, his military background and dutiful ways overcame this frosty reception.
In our country, he's known as the first Canadian astronaut. But on that 1st flight, he was a payload specialist, not considered a full-fledged astronaut but a passenger or guest scientist. And that created resentment from the crew.
