El Ejecutivo madrileño adquirió el inmueble de 485 metros cuadrados para utilizarlo como "oficinas".La empresa pública que compró el ático para uso temporal de Ayuso exigió confidencialidad al vendedor antes incluso de la visita El Gobierno de Isabel Díaz Ayuso compró el polémico ático de Chamberí por 6,3 millones, tal y como adelantó hace unos días laSexta y ha confirmado este martes el diario El País. La operación se llevó a cabo a través de la empresa pública Planifica Madrid. Tal y como adelantó elDiario.es, en la transacción se exigió a la parte vendedora del inmueble un acuerdo de confidencialidad con carácter previo a la adquisición. La propia presidenta de la Comunidad de Madrid defendió que el ático se iba a utilizar para “reuniones”, aunque no puede convertirse en oficinas, por unas obras en la Real Casa de Correos, sede del Ejecutivo madrileño. Aunque, finalmente, el Gobierno de Ayuso terminó vendiéndolo. Compra y venta El Ejecutivo madrileño adquirió el inmueble el pasado 14 de abril. Una operación que no constaba en Transparencia y que se empezó a conocer a través de los medios de comunicación. Después de toda la polémica, el portavoz y consejero de Presidencia, Miguel Ángel García, del que depende Planifica Madrid, anunció durante una visita a la zona afectada por los incendios en Madrid que iban a vender el ático.

(The Center Square) – The California Department of Justice has spent $19.2 million in the last 18 months in 82 different lawsuits against President Donald Trump’s administration, California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced Tuesday morning. That has saved an estimated $207.1 billion worth of federal taxpayer-funded programs and services for Californians, Bonta said. The announcement was made in a press conference at the California Department of Justice building on Tuesday. Bonta also said in that conference that much of Trump’s actions as president in his second term have been unlawful, prompting a flurry of lawsuits that the California Attorney General filed against the federal government, often joined by other states attorneys general. “He has been blatant and brazen in his unlawfulness, he has been consistent and frequent in his violations of the law and his trampling over the Constitution,” Bonta said. “Over the last year and a half, we have taken Trump and his administration to court 82 times. Not because we want to – we’d rather be suing him zero times.” Follow-up calls and emails went unreturned to the California Department of Justice, in which The Center Square asked for a fuller breakdown and justification of how Bonta came up with the $207.1 billion savings for Californians. A bill passed last year, SBX1-1, authorizes the California Department of Finance to appropriate $25 million to defend the state against actions taken by the federal government, according to a Department of Justice report. The Department of Justice has so far gotten $19.2 million of that money. That report also said that the roughly $19 million has contributed to but not sufficiently covers the cost of litigation against the federal government since Trump was re-elected to the White House. Approximately 83% of the time, Bonta said, the California Department of Justice prevailed in their lawsuits. Bonta secured 21 final orders siding with California, 45 orders granting early relief, and eight cases where the Trump administration settled, Bonta said. All those cases played out across multiple levels of the judiciary system, including in trial court, appellate court and in the U.S. Supreme Court, he added. Some of those cases challenged the Trump administration on a $10 billion funding freeze to childcare and family assistance programs in California and four other states. Other legal challenges targeted the federal government’s actions on tariffs, the deployment of the National Guard and birthright citizenship, among other issues according to an annual report from the California Department of Justice. “The Golden State has long set the precedent on what it means to defend civil liberties on the state and the federal level,” Senate President Pro Tempore Monique Limón, D-Santa Barbara, said at the press conference. “We must put an end to the federal overreach that puts lives at risk, tramples on our Constitutional rights and creates uncertainty across our communities.” Assemblymember Natasha Johnson, R-Lake Elsinore, said she would rather see efforts go towards finding funding for measures like Prop. 36, a 2024 public safety measure that has received little to no new funding in the last two years. “I don’t want to see any cases, period,” Johnson said on Tuesday. “I think staff is spending time on reports and cost savings, and at the end of the day, I want to make it very clear that the will of the voters has to be fully funded. We shouldn’t be fighting the government. We should be funding Prop. 36.”

(The Center Square) – The U.S. Supreme Court is set to revisit its gun law precedent in the upcoming term as it deals with cases on assault weapons bans. The nation’s highest court took up Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v. Higgins, cases out of Illinois and Connecticut, respectively, that deal with challenges to assault weapons bans. Gun law analysts said the court will have the opportunity to address how its 2022 decision in Bruen v. New York Rifle and Pistol Association will play out in states that propose bans on gun possession. In Bruen, the high court ruled in favor of two concealed carry permit holders to maintain their weapons. The case overturned a New York law that required individuals to show a special need of self-protection to possess a firearm in public. In the Bruen case, the court ruled governments must produce historical analogues on firearm place restrictions to justify depriving individuals of Second Amendment rights. The 2022 decision was seen as extending the historical analogue test in order to restrict an individual's Second Amendment rights. “Courts should neither uphold every modern law that remotely resembles a historical analogue, nor require the government to produce a historical twin or dead ringer for the modern law,” said Amy Swearer, senior legal fellow at Advancing American Freedom. However, analysts pointed out that recent Supreme Court precedent also appeared to contradict the Bruen case. In the 2024 case Rahimi v. United States, the high court upheld a federal law that prevents individuals under domestic violence restraining orders from obtaining firearms. “I think that led many people to misread Rahimi as yet another course correction as the court backing away from the Bruen test in favor of a somewhat flexible principles-based approach to the Second Amendment,” said Haley Proctor, a law professor at Notre Dame. Over the last term, though, the high court took up two cases directly addressing the Bruen test: U.S. v. Hemani and Wolford v. Lopez. In U.S. v. Hemani, the high court struck down a law that prohibits controlled substance users from possessing firearms. Justices on the high court rejected laws prohibiting public drunkards from participating in civic life as historic analogues against habitual drug users from possessing firearms. “Their ‘why’ was different: protecting the assets of historical drunkards from dissipation of assets instead of protecting the community from violence,” Proctor said. Michael Williams, general counsel at the American Suppressor Association, said the courts decision in U.S. v. Hemani showed that judges are not able to define who is included in a group that is denied Second Amendment protection. “When the grouping is this broad, it's a no-go for the court,” Williams said. “If Congress were allowed to create out-groups that had no real relationship to whether an individualized finding that a person is or could be violent, that’s a pretty bad slippery slope.” Williams said the court now has an opportunity to clarify what kinds of firearms operate under the Bruen test in Viramontes v. Cook County and Grant v. Higgins. Connecticut lists 70 firearms it bans under its assault weapons prohibition and Illinois lists 100 firearms, including semi-automatic weapons with a detachable magazine. He said justices on the nation’s highest court will need to clarify whether assault weapons bans are determined based on magazine capacity, kinds of gun stocks or automatic weapons altogether. Swearer pointed out that the Second Amendment’s basis in maintaining a “well-armed militia” could come up as a defense against the assault weapons ban. She pointed out that advanced weaponry would allow for a court to uphold the assault weapons ban. “It's tough to predict how the Supreme Court would take that, but so far the court has been pretty serious about insisting through its opinions that it was serious about Bruen,” Williams said. Justices on the high court will either hear the assault weapons ban case in late 2026 or early 2027.
