Trump administration sues to block AT&T-Time Warner merger – Politico, Steven Overly, Josh Gerstein Top line: “The Justice Department filed a lawsuit Monday to block the AT&T-Time Warner merger, amid a growing political storm over whether the administration has tried to use its review of the $85 billion deal to force the sale of CNN, a frequent target of President Donald Trump’s media criticism. A DOJ official told reporters Monday that the agency is concerned the combined company will charge competitors hefty fees to distribute Time Warner content, providing an unfair advantage to AT&T-owned DirecTV. Such an arrangement would have a negative impact on American TV viewers, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss the litigation.” Topic to follow:  Time Warner 4.

Around 40 gunmen set up positions outside the mosque with jeeps and opened fire from different directions as people tried to escape.

Given 18 months to leave the U.S., Haitians granted special status are shocked and disappointed, but also relieved – Los Angeles Times, Nina Agrawal Top line: “Haitians were first given the protections after the earthquake of January 2010, which killed more than 300,000 people, displaced more than 1.5 million people and sparked a cholera epidemic. The protections were extended several times, most recently in May, when then-Homeland Security Secretary John F. Kelly signaled the department might terminate them in six months. Those in favor of keeping the program in place say Haitians make valuable contributions to the American economy and the cities in which they live, and that the already-strained island nation is not ready to absorb tens of thousands of people.” Topic to follow: Immigration 9. Pressure grows on SPD to reconsider coalition talks with Angela Merkel – The Guardian, Philip Oltermann Top line: “Germany’s centre left is facing growing pressure to consider talks about a centrist coalition with Angela Merkel’s Christian Democrats as Berlin wakes up to the cost of fresh elections in 2018. Martin Schulz, the leader of the Social Democratic party (SPD), ruled out another “grand coalition” after his party’s worst postwar performance in federal elections in September. He reiterated his stance after the collapse on Sunday of talks about a three-way coalition between the CDU, the Free Democratic party (FDP) and the Greens. But Germany’s president, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, a fellow Social Democrat, will appeal to Schulz to reconsider at a meeting between the two on Thursday. There is speculation that the SPD leader could face calls to step aside at a party conference in two weeks’ time if he refuses to change his stance.” Topic to follow: Angela Merkel [caption id="attachment_36709" align="aligncenter" width="1200"] Charles Manson is escorted to his arraignment on conspiracy-murder charges in conneciton with the Sharon Tate murder case, 1969, Los Angeles, Calif.
