Consent of the governed? Bah! Democratic Gov. Roy Cooper has seen it in North Carolina (2016). And Gov. Tony Evers in Wisconsin (2018). Voters’ choices pitted both Democrats against hostile Republican-dominated state legislatures. Before even taking office, Republicans in lame duck sessions, with support from outgoing Republican Govs. Pat McCrory and Scott Walker, stripped powers from the incoming Democratic governors. If Jan. 6 and GOP election-denying in its aftermath did not clue you in, political niceties such as respecting the will of voters is not part of the Republican playbook. Raw power is. Richard Nixon torpedoed the Paris Peace Talks in 1968 to win his. Operatives for Gov. Ronald Reagan in 1980 delayed for months the release of Americans held hostage in Iran ahead of his election and inauguration. Power mattered more. Neither paid a personal price for the resulting deaths and extended captivity of Americans. Sherrilyn Ifill, president of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund, reminds Slate readers that Republican power stripping of the sort deployed against Cooper and Evers has not stopped.

The industry summits at DrupalCon are a great way to get the most out of your conference experience if you’re a government or higher education professional. Summits are full day sessions scheduled when there are no general conference sessions happening, so you won’t miss anything from the main event.
What are the registration details?
Although the Summits are part of the DrupalCon program, they are separate events and require a separate registration. There is also an additional cost associated with Summit registration. It’s an additional $250, and you can add a summit package to regular registration all through one convenient platform.
Yes, Putin and his henchmen should be prosecuted for war crimes. So should those who led the invasion of Iraq. By George Monbiot, published in the Guardian 20th March 2023 It goes beyond hypocrisy. It’s an assault on memory. Gordon Brown, calling for a special tribunal to punish the Russian government, correctly states that an […]
Even if they go to the Fed to borrow reserves at par of their USTs they don’t have the capital to support the increase in reserve assets they borrow from the Fed…iow if they are sitting there in compliance with SLR of 0.10 …. A-L=C…. Use the SVB reported numbers…. 200-180=20… (A-L)/A = 0.10 ….. ok everything is fine.. somebody comes in and tries to withdraw 20… they don’t have any reserves as RRR is 0%… they pledge UST assets at par to borrow 20 reserves from Fed… now 220-200=20 … (A-L)/A = 20/220 = 0.09 …. ie SLR drops below threshold due to the Fed transaction and they have to be shut down and everybody there gets wiped out with all the chaos… 🤔
