Democrats took over the state of Texas on promises of lowering costs.

The first bills they introduced this week in the state legislature?

Legalizing abortions up to birth.

[Stephen L. Miller @redsteeze]

Jake Tapper never addresses this. Not in the first hardback edition of his book or in the new paperback version.

There is a reason why.

@WilliamsonNFL I mean. They also play 85% zone. Haha.

[Jonathan Turley @JonathanTurley]

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez just promised "many, many investigations" to round up the huge number of "criminals" that Democrats see in their political opponents. None of this bodes well for the Republic as we restart the type of J6 show trials that marked the prior Democratic House.

#Steelers recent 4th rd picks. LOL at commentary about how *this year's* 4th rd pick sucks. Can probably match this group up w any in the NFL:
'20 Kevin Dotson-multiple yr starter
'21 Dan Moore-multiple yr starter
'22 Calvin Austin-3/4th WR, return guy
'23 Nick Herbig-key defensive player
'24 Mason McCormick-starting OL
'25 Jack Sawyer-backup & ST player
'26 Kaden Wetjen-returner

The MLBPA is walking into a trap they set for themselves 32 years ago. A salary cap is almost certainly guaranteed at this point

------------------------------------------

In 1994, the owners claimed a good-faith impasse and in turn implemented their own CBA. In August of that year, the players union went on strike and challenged this ruling in court. The judge (Sonia Sotomayor) ruled in March '95 in favor of the union, stating that it was in fact the owners who were bargaining in bad-faith and reinstated the old CBA for 1 year. A new deal was eventually reached in 1996 which included the newly introduced luxury tax

------------------------------------------

The crux of the case was this...The players refused any hard salary cap but offered an alternate economic framework centered around a luxury tax and an overhaul of the industry's financial layout. In their counterproposals to the team owners, the MLBPA offered the following specific concessions:

- A Luxury Tax
- Expanded revenue sharing
- Maintaining the Status Quo Over Aggressive Gains

Because the players had consistently stayed at the negotiating table and offered counterproposals (like the luxury tax, rev sharing, etc), they were legally recognized as bargaining in good faith. The owners, however, were not. They proposed a salary cap and a reduction in the players' share of revenues to curb rising player salaries, while eliminating salary arbitration and altering free agency. And then unilaterally implemented it after the claimed impasse

------------------------------------------

Fast forward 32 years...which side is consistently coming to the table with proposals that include multiple concessions such as increased minimums, reduced club control time, and increasingly higher floors?

In the legal realm have judges stayed pro labor as they were in the 90s or swung more pro business?

An impasse will be called, the players will strike and then they will lose in court. The owners are just following the same playbook the players used 32 years ago

I will not be silenced and I can not be taken down.

I will not stand for what has happened to my brethren

I will continue fight the salary cap war that has taken out so many of my fellow Pirates Burners.

You might be able to slow us down but you will not stop us.

God Speed.

If all of these accounts were suspended because of reports of impersonation, then it sets a somewhat dangerous precedent.

If that's the case, then there's really nothing stopping someone from reporting a parody account of someone even slightly famous for impersonation just because they said something you didn't like.
