Opinion: Newsom deserves credit for doing what few Democrats will

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:33:48 GMT

The Interruption Fest — otherwise known as the much-ballyhooed red vs. blue debate between Gov. Gavin Newsom and Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis — is mercifully over. It was admittedly my longest stretch watching Fox News for any reason, and the only time in my life that I tuned into Sean Hannity, one of the media’s top conspiracy theorists.The deck was stacked against Newsom from the outset, with Hannity acting more like a prosecuting attorney than a neutral moderator. Predictably, nearly every question he posed was intended to make Florida look good in relation to California, essentially tossing soft balls to DeSantis. Both DeSantis and Hannity were talking over Newsom on countless occasions, sometimes both at the same time.Many people asked why Newsom would place himself in the lion’s den, agreeing to a session that was for all practical purposes him debating both DeSantis and Hannity. Pundits are bleating that it is because he wants to position himself for a presidential r...

French: It’s time to fix America’s most dangerous law

Published Thu, 20 Feb 2025 19:33:48 GMT

There is a land mine embedded in the United States Code, one that Donald Trump, if reelected president, could use to destroy our republic. But it’s not too late for Congress to defuse the mine now and protect America.I’m talking about the Insurrection Act, a federal law that permits the president to deploy military troops in American communities to effectively act as a domestic police force under his direct command. In theory, there is a need for a well-drafted law that permits the use of federal troops in extreme circumstances to maintain order and protect the rule of law. The Insurrection Act, which dates back to 1792 but has since been amended, is not, however, well-drafted. And its flaws would give Trump enormous latitude to wield the staggering power of the state against his domestic political enemies.These flaws are especially relevant because Trump and his allies are keenly aware of the act’s provisions and have long expressed interest in its use. Trump has publicly regretted...
