Perhaps Marx was right after all: “History repeats itself, first as a tragedy, second as a farce.” jonathanturley.org/2026/09/2…

...While the President has denounced judges for such rulings, he has complied with prior orders. He should do so here even if he elects to pursue an appeal. However, such an appeal could cost the White House by expanding countervailing precedent.

Judge Timothy Kelly, a Trump appointee, issued a TRO yesterday in CNN, Inc. v. Trump to restore the access of CNN, MS NOW, and Politico to the White House. As I previously explained, it was the only decision that he could make in light of controlling precedent. The White House will have to get either the D.C. Circuit to overturn the long-standing precedent or get the Supreme Court to do so. Neither is likely. jonathanturley.org/2026/09/2…

... She-Hulk reportedly had a good viewership, but it was a bottomless pit on costs. With such a high-cost production, one would expect an actress to be working to maximize the appeal of the franchise. She is only the latest actor to alienate viewers and undermine her studio.
