If Democrats do very well in the midterms, I look forward to the mainstream media talking about a "vibe shift" and traveling to local coffee shops to interview pansexual artists about their political views

DOJ also argues that the plaintiffs lack standing, and if one plaintiff has standing, venue is improper in SDNY because he's in Alabama. (Again, not merits.)

Plaintiffs’ motion also should be denied for the additional, independent reason that they Case 1:26-cv-08882-JLR Document 37 Filed 10/10/26 Page 5 of 20 2 lack standing.1 Plaintiffs assert standing under the “competitor advocate” theory, but they cannot make the requisite showing that they compete “in the same arena with the party to whom the government has bestowed the assertedly illegal benefit” so as to be “personally disadvantaged.” In re U.S. Catholic Conference, 885 F.2d 1020, 1029 (2d Cir. 1989). Stated bluntly, the media depictions of the President of which Plaintiffs complain do not “personally disadvantage” them because they are not “personally compet[ing] in the same arena” with the party the media buys purportedly benefit—President Trump. In addition, Plaintiffs acknowledge that their purported injury is not redressable by this Court, demonstrating another reason why they lack standing. Moreover, even if Plaintiffs could establish that Robert Hunter has standing, that would not assist them because he resides in Alabama, the events relating to his alleged injury did not occur in the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”), and Defendants do not reside in SDNY. Accordingly, venue does not properly lie in SDNY for his claims. See 28 U.S.C. § 1391(e)(1); Caremark Therapeutic Services v. Levitt, 405 F. Supp. 2d 454, 463-64 (S.D.N.Y. 2005)

RUSSIA TARGETED A BUS FULL OF CIVILIANS AND MULTIPLE APARTMENT COMPLEXES THIS WEEK ALONE. Maybe the ingrate is the guy who made the decision to fund that terrorism by purchasing oil in a last ditch attempt to boost his poll numbers?

White House Press Secretary Katie Zacharia nods along on Fox & Friends as Rachel Campos-Duffy blasts that "ingrate Zelenskyy who keeps blowing up refineries and making things more complicated for the president ahead of the midterms"

Jody: That's a tough birthday request, Darryl. Shawn: Agreed. Asking Trump not to do anything stupid is like asking him not to breathe. 🤔 Although… Jody: [🚨 BZZZZZZZ!!!] Shawn Louise! Shawn: I'm just suggesting a good gift for Darryl's birthday, Jody. Enjoy your birthday weekend, Darryl!

Awesome to hear from you, Liz! Love donuts, love Roca Berry Farm (currently, the 'Roca Scary Farm' if I remember correctly). Glad to hear that you too were embarrassed by Trump's appearance in Nebraska. Get as many Dems elected there as you can!
