During the Soviet era, at times of govt instability, the state broadcaster would typically preempt scheduled broadcasts by airing performances of Swan Lake
And, tonight, the network's flagship news program -- 60 Minutes -- ran a clip show of old celeb interviews to "celebrate the movies" rather than put together an episode focused on what's going on in Minnesota.
The person who publishes the Free Press — where the words “Minneapolis” and “Minnesota” never appear tonight — also runs CBS News.

Amazing that neither Trump, nor any member of his cabinet, is facing impeachment proceedings right now. 🤷♀️
And to preempt: I don't care if it will fail — do it anyway.

folks, "the President aims to preempt" isn't a thing.
The White House released an AI policy that aims to pre-empt state rules, ensure protections for children and shield communities from prohibitive energy costs.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

The WH is considering an executive order preempting state legislation on AI if the moratorium does not pass in the NDAA, according to a person familiar with the matter. However, a WH official said until such an order is announced, "discussion about potential executive orders is speculation."

Its worth keeping in mind that the reason FDR implemented so many social welfare policies was to preempt and defuse leftist parties
The US then spent close to a century brutally beating and assassinating anyone who threatened to create a strong united Left.

I am no fan of Springer, but to preempt objections that this is hyperbolic language, the Nazis literally banned the same journals and justified the decision using very similar rhetoric.
