Two strip clubs in California can remain open and set their own coronavirus mitigation rules amid Gov. Gavin Newsom’s shutdown order, a judge ruled Wednesday.

Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, in comments on the Senate floor Thursday lambasted Democrats for allegedly deploying two sets of rules for Cabinet nominees based on party and said it s pretty darn rich that they are asking Republicans to defer to President-elect Joe Biden and swiftly confirm his nominations in the new Congress.
Grassley s comments come after Democrats for four years have put up unprecedented resistance to President Trump s judicial nominees and often aimed to stand in the way of Trump s Cabinet appointments too. They also follow a contentious debate over the responsible use of the levers of government and deference to tradition and precedent during the confirmation battle for Supreme Court Justice Amy Coney Barrett.

Lawmakers decided to eliminate provisions from an end-of-year proposal that would have prohibited anticompetitive healthcare contracting practices.
Congress end-of-year spending legislation is still in flux, but eight lawmakers that lead key committees didn t ask to curb gag clauses or various types of clauses that would make it difficult for plans to steer consumers to lower-cost or higher-quality providers.
The practices targeted in a prior bipartisan healthcare reform package titled the Lower Health Care Costs Act are widespread, but have gained renewed attention since California Attorney General Xavier Becerra was chosen as President-elect Joe Biden s nominee for HHS secretary. Becerra sued Sutter Health for anticompetitive practices similar to those the legislation was designed to stop.
