Is the Netflix-Warner Bros. deal a sure thing?
Before the deal closes, the two companies will have to face Paramount and antitrust regulators.

Administration is moving to formally nominate Lindsay Halligan--yes you heard right -- to the EDVA US Attorney position. That's a capitulation to the law and adverse decisions -- it's a totally kosher way to install her. Only problem is will Senate go along? Look for serious arm-twisting by Admin.

I'm pretty sure all of us who've lived in Houston know what's causing the exodus. It is a great city, and it's rapidly becoming unlivable. We were flooded out of our house all the way back in 2001 -- a hundred year flood. One of what -- four in 20 years? What will wet bulb temperatures be by 2030?
Harris County saw more than 31,000 residents leave in a single year, with high flood-risk neighborhoods leading the outflow amid soaring insurance rates and housing costs.

This system was also more flexible and durable: write broad laws that delegate, then let an agency monitor and shift the specifics of regulation to meet the times. Having to do everything by statute isn't just time consuming, it's dumb. And Congress has now long been unable to do the bare minimum.
🧵 Also: Much legal theory seems to be based on a fantasy Congress.
The administrative state grew because Congress, which has a limited number of people with extraordinary time demands, delegated to specialists.
It now has the same number of people, demands are worse and tasks are more complex.
