☆ What to know about a judicial privacy bill Congress is passing with a major defense package

But the legislation is also rankling court watchdogs who contend the bill could complicate efforts to scrutinize the judicial branch for ethics issues. The bill does not displace the ethical disclosure requirements judges already face, the congressional aide noted to CNN. And it extends the threat-monitoring programs that are being offered to Article III judges to administrative judges as well. Now that the bill has been added to the National Defense Authorization Act, a massive defense package that Congress passes annually, Paul’s options for scuttling it are limited. “Because, if I am sued, someone is going to be bringing it to a federal judge.

☆ Democrats' risky midterm strategy to elevate election deniers appears to pay off
▼ + stars: | 2022-11-09 | by ( Andy Sullivan | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +5 min

The gamble appears to have worked: All eight Democratic candidates who benefited from the strategy were projected to win their races as of Wednesday morning. Democrats also defended two competitive House of Representatives seats in New Hampshire and picked up one in Michigan, as their candidates held wide leads over Republican election deniers. And Democratic gubernatorial candidates in four states -- Pennsylvania, Michigan, Maryland and Illinois -- easily dispatched Republican candidates after running ads in the Republican primaries earlier this year. Democratic groups spent at least $51.5 million in Republican primaries this year, according to a Reuters tally. The DGA also ran ads amplifying the conservative credentials of Republican election deniers in Maryland and Michigan who won their primaries but lost the general election.

☆ Biden says the election is a battle against 'MAGA Republicans.' He’s been silent about Democrats elevating them.

Democrats had been spending millions of dollars in Republican primaries elevating extreme candidates who falsely insist Donald Trump won the 2020 election, in hopes of facing weaker opponents in the general election. The raw political calculus that underpins the Democrats’ midterm election strategy is at odds with President Joe Biden’s core political message that democracy is in peril. Biden appears to have accepted the tradeoff involved: If boosting election-denying candidates saves even a few Democratic congressional seats, it’s worth the risk. NBC News asked the White House what Biden thinks of the practice and whether he’s ever voiced qualms about it. During the 2016 presidential campaign, many Democrats saw Trump as the weakest and, hence, most desirable opponent in the general election.

Prima încercare de măsurare a temperaturii a fost făcută de omul de ştiinţă şi medicul grec Galen, undeva prin anul 170 D.Hr. Dispozitivul a fost primul termometru clinic rudimentar; fusese proiectat pentru a lua temperatura umană prin introducerea în gură. Potrivit legii, începând cu 1 ianuarie 2021, se interzice producerea, plasarea pe piață și utilizarea mercurului și a compușilor acestuia pentru următoarele dispozitive. Filmul a fost lansat pentru prima oară la Festivalul Internațional de Film de la Berlin pe 20 februarie 2020. Centrul se ocupa de repartizarea tratamentelor pentru deșeurile cu conținut de mercur și a altor tipuri de deșeuri periculoase.
