days have been difficult for the News

To be clear, we believe NBC News should
seek out conservative Republican voices
to provide balance in their election coverage,
but it should be conservative Republicans,
not a person who used her position of power
to be an anti-democracy election denier, Mika Brzezinski, MSNBC host, via CNN.

16 Republican AGs Sue Biden Administration , for Pausing Liquid Natural Gas Exports.
The lawsuit was filed on March 21.
The states claim that the Biden administration
does not have the authority to deny
"federal permits for new liquid natural
gas (LNG) exports," 'The Hill' reports. .
The 16 attorneys general also allege
that the pause goes against Congress.
This ban disregards statutory mandates,
flouts the normal regulatory process, upends
the industry, disrupts Plaintiffs’ economies,
and subverts our constitutional structure, Via lawsuit.
These unlawful actions leave Plaintiffs
with no choice but to once more turn
to the courts to enforce the law, Via lawsuit.
The suit goes on to allege that the ban is
motivated by politics and comes "in the midst of an election year, and after a sustained pressure campaign from billionaire conglomerates, celebrities, ‘influencers,’ and banks.".
The timing of the decision, in an election
year, raises the likelihood that political
motivations drove the action, House Oversight Committee Republicans,
in a letter to Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm.
LNG, which is often considered to be
"a bridge between coal and renewables," was first pushed by the Obama administration.

Former President Donald Trump has been barred from appearing on the Illinois Republican presidential primary ballot by a state judge. Cook County Circuit Judge Tracie Porter made the ruling on Wednesday, citing Trump's role in the January 6, 2021, insurrection at the US Capitol. The judge sided with Illinois voters who argued that the former president violated the anti-insurrection clause of the US Constitution's 14th Amendment, thus disqualifying him from the state's upcoming primary and general elections.
