Can also report Raskin (D-MD) + Kiley (R-CA) are reintroducing Raskin's SLAPP Protection Act early Dec. Rare bipartisanship here after Kiley took Raskin's class at Yale Law; they led on the PRESS Act to protect reporters from government intervention, which passed the House in '22

Amid the frenzy of the lame duck, a bipartisan group is quietly making a longshot, eleventh-hour attempt to pass federal protections for journalists and other critics before Trump and his famously thin-skinned coterie take over. Here's my scoop: talkingpointsmemo.com/news/raskin-wy…

This place increasingly on fumes, find me elsewhere

Will be on SiriusXM with [email protected] shortly to discuss my new story on the bipartisan group trying to pass journalist protections before Trump takes over. Catch up: talkingpointsmemo.com/news/raskin-wy…

Scoop by Talking Points Memo. Folks, It's a whole new world for journalists in the Trump era. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/raskin-wy…

“Frankly, we don’t know how FDA is going to approach it on remand,” said the attorney for the vape companies. “We have a new administration coming in; the President-elect is on record saying, ‘I’m going to save flavored vapes.’” talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump-age…

Troubling sign in big trans care case at the Court - Roberts opens with a mealy-mouthed 'shouldn't we just leave this to the states' argument due to the "medical nuances." This is the easiest way for him to weasel out of the sexuality/gender identity rights he affirmed in Bostock

Alito basically subbing in as extra lawyer for Tennessee - demands SG 'withdraw' her statement about benefits of gender-affirming care due to cherry-picked (& some very flawed) info from Europe, then moves into a 'this case is totally different from Bostock' line of questioning

Kagan: Muses that "what's really going on here is discrimination against and a disregard for young people who are trans"

Real abortion echoes here - Kavanaugh is taking Roberts' route, saying that "the Constitution doesn't take sides" and that there are "forceful arguments on both sides" so why not leave it to the "democratic process"

Wyden (D-OR), Raskin (D-MD) and Kiley (R-CA) just officially introduced the legislation to protect journalists/Trump critics from frivolous lawsuits that I scooped last week. ICYMI: talkingpointsmemo.com/news/raskin-wy…

Trump appointee Judge Lawrence VanDyke questioned whether a mother who "wants to kill the baby" even though it's not necessary to prevent her death accounts for the emergency airlifts hospitals have carried out after Idaho criminalized virtually all abortions.

TPM's own Kate Riga appeared on Ari Melber this evening to discuss Trump's rhetoric vs. reality.

Scoop from me and Josh Kovensky - Dems are dropping their demand for vote on clean, 4-week CR as amendment to GOP CR. Murray requested to take vote down - didn't want theatrical vote that wouldn't affect the ultimate outcome for the GOP CR

Senate Democrats dropped their push for a vote on an amendment to the GOP's continuing resolution that would keep the government open for another four weeks without major changes, two sources confirmed to TPM. talkingpointsmemo.com/news/exclusive…
