TV Networks to Resume Trump Coverage, Even as White House Excludes CNN (Gift Article)
The White House TV pool went dark this past week amid a standoff between CNN and the president. Network leaders, however, believe an indefinite suspension may be untenable.

The internet has been integral to my creative ambitions, so it's hard for me to say it was wholly a mistake... but I will say that needing to write a letter and send it into a magazine certainly made people REALLY think about how much they needed to share their shitty tabletop games opinions.

BREAKING: SCOTUS denies the Trump administration’s request to enforce the new U.S. Postal Service rule for the 2026 elections. Justices Alito and Thomas dissent.

![SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED STATES
No. 26A305
UNITED STATES POSTAL SERVICE, ET AL. U.
CALIFORNIA, ET AL.
ON APPLICATION FOR STAY
[September 14, 2026]
The application for stay presented to JUSTICE JACKSON and by her referred to the Court is denied. The Government is unlikely to succeed on the merits of its challenge to the District Court's preliminary injunction. And the equitable factors applicable for obtaining emergency relief from this Court do not favor a stay.
JUSTICE KAVANAUGH, concurring.
In my view, based on the briefing the Court has received at this interim stage, there is at least a fair prospect that the final rule falls within the Postal Service's statutory authority. See 39 U. S. C. §401(2). But applying the rule in the 2026 elections would be arbitrary and capricious in violation of the Administrative Procedure Act because state and local election officials do not have sufficient time to reasonably implement the rule before the elections. See 39
U. S. C. §3001(m); 5 U. S. C. §706(2)(A). For that reason, I concur in the denial of the application for stay.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:36eqtmzysqf7wsslczw4uxcd/bafkreicqn5lewxb2bkaazujt77bmsjfq4ultwu2alo3emhvgsnpkotnwoy)

chat is it good if your government says "we are using AI to think like fraudsters and we are shutting down hospices"
Dr Oz: "If you use AI to get a bank manager to think like a fraudster and do the things they would've done, it actually works. We're now taking a page from that playbook and using it in government ... we shut down half the hospices in Los Angeles. And by the way, they didn't complain!"

Mike Davis held influential roles in a previous Republican Senate and the current Republican administration, but again, he's clearly not as important as some unaffiliated Twitch streamer, so no one in the mainstream media is going to demand any Republican denounce his gutter racism.

Even by reactionary centrist standards, this is an insane issue to hang this argument on. Gaza *is* a case of an oppressor and victim. There's no "both sides" reason why hospitals need to be bombed and children starved.
