Liz is a reliable cold warrior, a chip off the old block. Looks like she might be on the right side of history and could stand a chance in November. People like guts, Zelenskiy's or Cheney's, this war will help her a lot, especially if Donald's lackey goes pro Putin.

Republican donors line up behind Liz Cheney as she takes on Trump
Republican donors are opening their wallets for Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney, but their interest is not limited to her House race. More than two full years before the 2024 election, Cheney is emerging as the anti-Trump champion, and plenty of Republicans are glad to see it.

One way of countering internal American tribalism, is to have a greater external enemy and invoke the latent feelings for the "bigger tribe" the national unit as a whole. We see it in it's most extreme form in Ukraine, all internal divisions were dropped the country was united and of one mind, out of many one, manifested in the form of Zelenskiy. Even many of the wealthy and corrupt are pitching, in as the call of the collective grows stronger. Divisions will reemerge as the danger fades, but something else will emerge too, if they can eject the Russian invader, they no longer need fear Russia, Russia needs to fear them, Vlad will.
Really Mitt, after you and the republicans did so much to destroy it? You are trying to get fascists elected in November, words are cheap, actions count.

I thought restricting interstate travel was a feature of martial law. I don’t expect the Qpreme Court will see it that way.Red State Lawmakers Seek to Prevent People From Going to Other States for Abortions
Lawmakers in red states are pushing abortion and gender-affirming medical care bills that would restrict residents from seeking abortions beyond state lines
A Missouri state representative introduced legislation that would allow people to sue anyone suspected of helping a resident get an abortion in another state.
Republican state Rep. Mary Elizabeth Coleman, who was behind the bill, told The Washington Post that she has been talking to "anyone who would listen" about legal strategies for thwarting Missourians from seeking abortions in other states.
"If your neighboring state doesn't have pro-life protections, it minimizes the ability to protect the unborn in your state," Coleman, who is currently running for the Missouri Senate, told the Post.
In Idaho, a bill seeking to ban gender-affirming care for youth would have made it a felony to help a child access care outside the state.
The state Senate said it will not be taking up the bill, though it was passed by the House.
Legal experts have said such bills are unconstitutional and have little chance of withstanding legal challenges.
"States are free to have their own rules, and those rules differ from state to state,” Stephen Vladeck, law professor at the University of Texas School of Law, told NPR.
"But the notion that a state can tell its citizens what they could do, not just within but without their borders, really is anathema to how we think of our constitutional system."
Texas' SB 8 likely has spurred similar bills. The Texas law, which took effect in September, allows private citizens to bring civil suits against anyone who helps a pregnant person in Texas get an abortion after about six weeks of pregnancy.

I must ask, why do you republish lots of stuff from Liesmax?

Because many of these articles are from news sources like Reuters, the Washington Post, which want you to get a subscription. I also find some stories on Newsmax that I do not see in other sites I go to. Again these are reprints of articles, say the James Webb telescope, I caught a timely article that was not covered on other news sites I frequent. I also get stupid stuff like interviews with Trump which are always good for a laugh. I see it as another source others do not mine here. If I just grabbed articles from the same place as another poster or two here we would have less of a rounded picture to view the world.

I agree you’re performing a selection. That effectively discharges my query.
Your opinion on nonemergency travel restrictions?

Reuters and AP don't charge a subscription and are not biased in their reporting as newsmax most certainly is.
I tend not to click on links using them. Use or not it's up to you but this is what media bias fact check says about them.
- We rate Newsmax Right Biased and Questionable based on the promotion of conspiracy theories and pseudoscience as well as numerous failed fact checks.

I have read the exact same article on Newsmax and the originating article. The Newsmax article at times would leave out a section of it which would give a more balanced perspective. Back before the election and the run away from Fox, I would comment on the articles and show to some of the regular posters (that were not trolls back then) how they were being manipulated by only sticking to right wing sites. It is not like I changed their political leanings but I showed that they were being lied to at times. They were surprised to find republican complaints on the democrats not bringing forth certain legislation (say drug prices) and I pulled up past bills from where the democrats did introduce the bills but got shot down.
But that was before things got really stupid there and all the Russian trolls appeared. Now the comment section is just a shit show. Yes, I know the leanings of the site, I did listen to their broadcast for about five minutes before my stomach could not handle any more. Their print news is not as bad, I generally do not read their opinion pieces, why wast my time. But I want to get a view of what is shaping our world and getting slanted news from places I do not agree with will give more of an idea why people are so stupid (OK right wing types). I can not view OAN type of news making, just too comical to take seriously. Newsmax is about as far as I will go other than if something really bubbles up (like the response to Rudy with his hand in his pants).
Just checked, it was the need to register on Reuters.
I would rather not.
And generally I do not hit up Newsmax if enough real news is being reported at the time. On boring days I hit up the sleazebag site.

you have my apologies.
I won't give my personal information away for a "free" subscription either. Reuters might have a different policy in the US, because I've never been blocked from their service and I haven't registered with them. You are an informed consumer of news and I trust your posts. But I won't click on a newsmax link.
I pay for subscriptions to WaPo, NYT and FT. I feel that their reporting is worth it. But that's me, I'm not saying what others should do.

I do pay for our local paper, the funny thing is I rarely read it any more. I just looked up an article from the BBC on the Russians taking over the hospital they bombed before and are now holding 400 people hostage. I also got a popup that would not let me read the article unless I register. I doubt registering would do anything bad to my life but I just do not like it on principal.
