2) For this $6.2 billion acquisition to happen, Nexstar needs the approval of the FCC and it needs the FCC to lift the 39% cap on the number of households one company is permitted to reach through TV station ownership.

3) Trump-appointed FCC chair Brendan Carr in May suggested his mind was open to repealing "arcane, artificial limits on how many TV stations any one company can own."

BREAKING....

Sources: Democratic governors held a call yesterday afternoon...

Just governors – no staffs – no one from campaign or WH...

Organized by Gov Tim Walz of Minnesota for the DGA...

1/4
On the call Dem. governors expressed concern about what's going on with the president

They know if they come forward publicly with concern that likely will cause Biden to dig in more

They were also surprised none of them had heard from him (!)

2/4
There was discussion on the call about wanting to have a call with the campaign or White House...

Some discussion about having VP Harris address them...

There was strong sentiment that they needed to hear directly from President Biden

2/ The rabbi for the Orthodox Union's Jewish Learning Initiative on campus sent the WhatsApp message this morning at 7:29 a.m. to his WhatsApp group of 293 mostly Orthodox Jewish students. It was his own personal statement, not that of the college or Hillel.
3/ Sent in response, he says, to "just horrific" videos of "protesters on campus calling for Jews to be killed, just off campus Jews being yelled at to 'go back to Poland', text messages I'm getting constantly from Jewish students about how unsafe they feel.”

‘Twas the night before Christmas
At Nakatomi Tower
When our story of homecoming
Begins with brute power
At Los Angeles airport, meet our savior, McClane;
With toys for his kids he disembarks from his plane.
To not see that this tale’s about Christmas is folly;
Did I mention that Mrs. McClane’s name is Holly?
“How 'bout some Christmas music?” McClane asks of Argyle.
“That *is* Christmas music,” the driver says with a smile.
Reuniting with Holly, John’s goal is shared with shy laughter;
A holiday miracle to last ever after. Image
