Being one of her first actions, one, and how that fits into the larger discussion about cultural sensitivity by terminology? so, what the column is about is the feedback loop between the far right and the far left and the way that the word police end up with these politically driven prohibitions. sarah huckabee sanders, one of the first things she does is ban the term latinx. first of all, that term itself, is used by, like, 3% of hispanic and latino americans. so, which raised the question, why is that the first thing you re doing. the answer is it s performative. it s designed to sort of own the libs and cultivate sort of conservative celebrity, not actually having necessarily to do with serving the people of her state. but on the same day, as i point out in my column, university of southern california school of social work announced it was banning the word field research,
The idea you can t even tell people the way in which they can get in the abortion or where they can go, you can, but you fear the fact that someone will prosecute you for that. absolutely. the line between protected freedom of speech and aiding and abetting in the first amendment law has always been a little bit murky, and that means a lot of people, including internet service providers, abortion regular people on social media providing information about how abortion medication works, could all be in the crosshairs of existing criminal laws, on aiding or abetting on conspiracy without state legislators having to introduce new restrictions are prohibitions. so, i think this is designed in part to have a pretty powerful chilling effect, even if people speech is protected, people are not going to want to take the risk of being prosecuted. that is one of the dangers. let s last week, the response to republicans passing a pair of anti-abortion bills in the house that have no chance
Democrats and their research arms did not find any of this before the election. right. there are a lot of oppo teams hitting their head against the wall tonight. here is the thing, which is, i was talking about santos and i said, misleading statement that he apologized for i m going to put this reinstatement in the biggest air quotes ever. because we are talking about really substantive lies here, some of which, this new york times article is showing an unregistered fund that raised money for santos, and the efforts to elect santos may have skirted campaign financials. you tweeted that there are about a dozen federal campaign finance violations described in that article. tell me more. when you run for congress and you do it successfully, you become aware of all of the prohibitions on coordination, for example, with super pacs. he cared about none of those rules. i mean, this is someone who, basically, whose campaign because became one and the same with this evacuees raising mon

System to the point that the irs cannot keep up because the are understaffed and glenn, worst-case scenario, if that comes to pass, after these full tax returns are released, is there anythin that can stop donald trump a he moves forward in hi political career in the coming two years? only the will of th american voters. of course, the will of the american voters was almost overwritten in january six i also think, richard, i highlights the need to try and legislate at least som transparency, some disclosures by people who are running fo the highest office in the land i know people will say the constitution does not allow fo any additional sort of prohibitions or checks o presidential candidates. i do not think the constitutio was really designed to let somebody lie, withhold and deceive information from the american people an successfully run for offic
They were pardoned. the question would be whether the house will or the senate would allow them to sit if they were elected or whether or not they could be withheld from being on ballots by various states. there is no clear mechanisms there for allowing this to go forward and we d have to see if they try to enforce it, how it would be enforced. we just don t know yet. yet, felons are, when they come out of prison, often cannot vote in many states. that is changing a bit. would it have to be something that the doj goes after donald trump for a felony and he is convicted of that? that would be sort of the only way we know that would keep him from voting? well, if or running. if you are a convicted felon in certain states, he couldn t vote. if he was a convicted felon, i think there is a possibility he can still run for office. i haven t seen prohibitions about running for office as a convicted felon.
alex marquardt, thank you very much for all of that new reporting. and i want to go now to the democratic congressman jim himes because he s on the house intelligence committee, and he recently traveled to ukraine to meet with president zelenskyy as well as other officials there. so, congressman, i do want to ask you about alex s reporting first. this russian smuggling, russian weapons smuggling ring here in the united states. what does this tell you about putin? i mean, why he would even be doing this, that he s going to such lengths to do something like this? erin, thanks for having me on. first, i would say that this is not unusual. for decades, for generations, we ve been facing chinese, russian, other efforts to get our equipment. your correspondent is exactly right that this is a sign of desperation, this is stuff that could ordinarily be bought on the open market by the russian government. but it cannot be bought by the russian government now that of course sanctions and pro

Financial boost in the bill. no more government prohibitions on banking and doing business with banks with cannabis related businesses. i m co-sponsor of the safety banging act which would allow financial institution to offer banking to legally operate cannabis businesses without fear of punishment from government agencies. laura: don t think they haven t planned this all along. staff at the hill and the white house have been working on all of this nonsense for probably most of the last year. take what happened last week when french president emmanuel macron visited the white house. who in his right mind actually thinks the biden team didn t know what he was going to say in protest about the maid in america provisions in that so-called inflation reduction act. there were certain subsidies that were supposed to be eligible for american companies or, if you had signed a free trade deal with the united states you would get subs disease in those cases. the e u does not qualify not an
