"While Texas moved quickly and aggressively, California could not provide the clear, expedited approval process needed to compete. This is an enormous loss for Solano County, California workers and our state's manufacturing economy." "Joshua Arce, executive director for the California Alliance of Jobs, which represents thousands of union construction workers across the state, confirmed that "10,000 permanent jobs and thousands of union construction jobs" that would have accompanied Saronic's Port Alpha shipyard in California are headed to Texas instead. He said "state leaders failed to act with the urgency this project demanded." read more
Black lawmakers and activists across the Deep South argue they have been abandoned by the Democratic Party to fight an existential crisis on their own. They say they've been let down by nearly all corners of the party: would be-presidential hopefuls who have flocked to early and swing states but don't bring their megaphones elsewhere; congressional leadership focused on majority-making battlegrounds while safe Black seats are drawn out; and years of chronic underfunding that has allowed local party apparatus to wither away. read more

As California tries to derail Paramount's $110 billion takeover of Warner Bros. Discovery, Paramount CEO David Ellison's friends and advisers have been pushing the media executive to consider shifting his business out of the state. Ellison's confidantes have pushed him to consider moving its corporate headquarters and reallocating much of its $30 billion in planned spending outside the state if California Attorney General Rob Bonta were to sue to stop the merger, according to people familiar with the discussions. No decisions have been made, these people said, and the considerations may just be a show of brinkmanship, given so much of the industry's production takes place outside of Hollywood already. Under the current deal, Paramount has committed to keeping both companies' lots operational if it remains in California. read more

While state law primarily determines how elections are conducted, federal law also sets standards that all states must follow.
At the federal level, the U.S. Constitution, federal laws, and agencies all impact state and local administration of federal elections. In each state and territory, state constitutions, laws, and regulations dictate how election administrators carry out federal election functions"from registering voters to certifying election results. State-based processes must comply with federal law. States may further delegate authority to local government to regulate election administration and make policy decisions impacting the conduct of federal elections.

Its been the IMF (West) vs China, ever since Clinton gave them favorable status.
IMF loans issued in the Americas and India to address foreign exchange crises ultimately weakened domestic economies and industries. China takes a different approach to lending by funding infrastructure abroad and securing resources to bolster its own economy. Countries that rely on IMF loans risk long-term economic setbacks, while China's model strengthens its position as a global economic leader.

Snoofy etal is actually arguing a poll tax, or IQ test, conducted by States is legal, and the federal government has no right to police what the States were doing.
