(CNSNews.com) - House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D.-Calif.) sent a letter to her Democratic colleagues in the House of Representatives on Friday saying that “Republicans are engaged in an election subversion that imperils our democracy.”
“At a time when the pandemic is ravaging our country, we must all come together to crush this virus,” Pelosi said.
“Up until now, the president has refused to lead our country in that way and now more than 15 million Americans have been infected and nearly 300,000 killed more Americans than died in combat in World War II,” she said.
Pennsylvania provides an out for Dean farmers
In late November, hundreds of dairy farmers received letters from a Minnesota law firm representing the Dean Foods Estate. Those attorneys for the estate laid the claim that milk payments during the 90-day period immediately after Dean’s bankruptcy filing on November 12, 2019, fell under “the Preference Period from the Debtor.”
In short, the unscrupulous attorneys wanted dairy farmers to return a portion of their milk checks. Pay up by December 24, 2020 (Christmas Eve), and they’d only charge 10 cents on the dollar.
Hoard’s Dairyman Notebook blogger Jessica Peters was one farmer who received a letter. She detailed her thoughts in her blog entry, “I’m tired of being treated like this.”

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s absurd attempt to overthrow the 2020 elections was flatly rejected on Friday night by the Supreme Court. Coming hard after that court’s equally unequivocal dismissal of a Pennsylvania case seeking similar ends, you’d think this legal sideshow is over now, right? Nah.

The Federal Trade Commission’s (“FTC”) recent winning streak in its ongoing challenges of hospital and physician mergers has, at least for now, ended in a Philadelphia U.S. district court. After six days of evidentiary hearings, in a 62-page opinion, Judge Gerald Pappert denied[1] the FTC’s and Pennsylvania Attorney General’s request to preliminarily enjoin a proposed merger between Thomas Jefferson University (“TJU”) and the Albert Einstein Healthcare Network (“Einstein”).
The FTC and Pennsylvania AG (together, the “Government”) brought suit to stop the merger in February. The Complaint alleged that the two hospital systems were close competitors for general acute care (“GAC”) hospital services, with TJU operating 11 GAC hospitals and Einstein operating three in the Northern Philadelphia area. The Government asserted that a combined TJU/Einstein would control at least 60% of the inpatient GAC hospital services marke
