<\/p>\nYesterday, Mitch McConnell froze again, Idalia made landfall in Florida’s “Big Bend” region (which is exactly where you think it would be), our Mitch emailed his list that he and his are in no danger, and, by evening, Idalia was down to a tropical storm.\u00a0 Late the night before, I read that Fani Willis has asked the judge to\u00a0 put all the speedy-trial-demanders into a single trial, and therefore on the same date, October 23, if legally possible.\u00a0 It hadn’t occurred to me that it might not be so I was assuming they would all be tried together (Eastman is number three.)\u00a0 It’s consederably more complex than I thought.\u00a0 Harry Litman explains the contingencies, in this vodeo, which has CC and therefore generates a transcript (click the 3 dots tp the right of the up-down-share line and “open trancript”.)\u00a0 I hope it works out with the minimum number of seperate trials (which i believe would be four – but what do I know.)\u00a0 \u00a0Georgia’s doing us all a big favor and should not be required to break the bank to do it.<\/p>\n

\nQuote – Several other relatives told the Associated Press that Gallion was a devoted father, and though his relationship with the child\u2019s mother didn’t work out, he still had the respect of her family. \u201cHe never missed a beat,\u201d Sabrina Rozier, the child\u2019s maternal grandmother, said Sunday at a vigil honoring the victims. \u201cHe got her every weekend. As a matter of fact, he was supposed to have her (Saturday).\u201d… \u201cMy heart melted for my granddaughter, because she was his world and he was her world. And now we\u2019re trying to figure out how to tell her, because we haven\u2019t told her yet and she\u2019s only 4.”

\nQuote – But \u201cglobalization\u201d is not a force of nature. How it works and whom it benefits or harms depend on specific, negotiated rules about which assets will be protected and which will not. In most trade deals, the assets of American corporations (including intellectual property) have been protected. If another nation adopts strict climate regulations that reduce the value of U.S. energy assets in that country, the country must compensate the American firms. Wall Street has been granted free rein to move financial assets into and out of our trading partners. But the jobs and wages of American workers have not been protected. Why shouldn\u2019t American corporations that profit from trade be required to compensate American workers for job losses due to trade?
\nClick through for full assessment<\/a>. It’s not news that unregulated anything helps only the wealthiest and hurts the reat of us. This does point up that regulation itself needs to be both accurately designed andproperly administered<\/p>\n
\nQuote – He was there not just as a supporter, he said, but as a dues-paying member of SAG-AFTRA\u2019s local chapter. That\u2019s because the senator\u2019s cousin, the late filmmaker George Hickenlooper, had a habit of casting him for bit parts. Among them was the film \u201cCasino Jack,\u201d released in 2010 when Hickenlooper was mayor of Denver. He played a U.S. Senator with one big line: \u201cRemove that man.\u201d \u201cMy cousin George made me do 28 takes,\u201d Hickenlooper told the crowd near the City Park boathouse.
\nClick through<\/a> – I’m not going to be able to keep up three a day, even in a week like this, but I thought this was cute, and I didn’t want to bump anything else for something this light. It was news to me.<\/p>\n
