Before tonight's game we held a moment of silence in memoriam of Charlie Kirk.

Kirk founded the youth activist group “Turning Point USA” and had become a fixture on college campuses. Charlie Kirk, a husband and father of two children, was 31 years old.

[Joe @UFLORIDAJOE]

Two small children will now grow up without a father because politics have become people’s religion.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord.

"When you tear out a man's tongue, you are not proving him a liar, you're only telling the world that you fear what he might say".

My thoughts are with Charlie Kirk's family.

Eagles greats DeSean Jackson and Michael Vick will face each other as coaches at the Linc with DeSean‘s Delaware State University facing Michael’s Norfolk State University on Thursday, October 30.

Something about this Epstein release doesn’t feel authentic. Why do we need “phases” of the release and why not just release it to the entire public at large to comb through?

[Mary Katharine Ham @mkhammer]

Kid was out picking up donuts with Dad, shields his sister from shrapnel from a plane crash in the parking lot, ends up in emergency brain surgery, wakes to ask if he saved his sister and is pumped to know he didn’t miss the Eagles in the Super Bowl. I couldn’t be happier for him

Saquon Barkley’s touchdown run with just crowd noise.

Chills.

You really begin to appreciate Jalen Hurts when you watch Kenny Pickett play in the same offense.

Shorter = better. This bill is only 116 pages, instead of 1,500+ pages. Took a LOT less time to read. Glad to see the following garbage from yesterday’s bill removed in the current version:
- Congressional pay raise/health benefits
- 17 miscellaneous commerce bills
- Random new pandemic policies, like funding for “biocontainment research laboratories”
- Renewal of the "Global Engagement Center," a key player in the federal censorship state

[Rand Paul @RandPaul]

I had hoped to see @SpeakerJohnson grow a spine, but this bill full of pork shows he is a weak, weak man.  

The debt will continue to grow.  Ultimately the dollar will fail.  Democrats are clueless and Big Gov Republicans are complicit.

A sad day for America.

[JD Vance @JDVance]

Daniel’s a good guy, and New York’s mob district attorney tried to ruin his life for having a backbone.

I’m grateful he accepted my invitation and hope he’s able to have fun and appreciate how much his fellow citizens admire his courage.

Congress delegated its lawmaking authority to unelected bureaucrats in 3-letter agencies, who in turn outsourced their dirty work to “private companies” with a mix of threats & rewards. The trend is now ubiquitous, from tech censorship to debanking. This is a soft form of fascism

The Supreme Court overturned so-called “Chevron deference” earlier this year which is a seismic blow to the federal bureaucracy. Under the old doctrine, federal courts deferred to agency interpretation of ambiguous statutes. As of 2024, that’s no longer the case. Here are some facts:

Lower federal courts have relied upon Chevron somewhere between 17,000 - 19,000 judicial opinions.

A 2022 study found that federal appellate courts applied Chevron in ~85% of cases involving federal agency interpretations of law interpretation is at stake. In ~60% of these cases, the court concluded that the statute was ambiguous (“Chevron Step One”) and proceeded to determine whether the agency’s interpretation was reasonable (“Chevron Step Two”).

Once federal courts of appeals reached that point framework, they sided with the agency 77% of the time.

A separate study evaluated more than 1,300 courts of appeals cases from 2003 to 2013 & found a 94% rate of judicial deference to the agency position, at Chevron Step Two.

The overturning of Chevron deference, combined with the Major Questions Doctrine enshrined in West Virginia vs. EPA, paves the way for not slight but *drastic* downsizing in the scope of the federal regulatory state.
