American car manufacturers are terrified of having to compete with Chinese EVs, so they're not even going to make them at all.

I'd imagine the plan here is a plea deal. DA gets to have their name in the headlines, woman still goes to jail, dumb voters think it's justice for "immorality", wins all around.
Is DA/prosecutor an elected office there? Pressing this case could look really good to the "traditional family" people - there's a lot of them who might not say it out loud, but hate adoption as a concept.
The crime would arguably work as child endangerment, but even then, it's pretty thin. This girl clearly didn't have enough of a support structure to feel safe putting the kid up for adoption, and since TX is busy trying to force everything that even looks like support for young mothers to leave, expect to see a lot more of this.
See, and even this could lead into a fantastic lesson about how fascism is really seductive in these vague terms, especially to help clean up a lot of the questions of "well why didn't people fight back" that teens have when learning about Italy and Germany pre-WWII.
Having had this happen once, yeah, this can be dangerous. I apparently shoved a guy half a foot taller than me through a glass door in high school. I don't remember a single thing about it.
There's also the fact that a large part of that class is Silicon Valley, and an alarming chunk of them are mildly to all-in on the "AI will eventually birth God" train. Why wouldn't they be? It's an emotionally stunted tech-kiddy's fantasy - you're going to save Earth and all you have to do is play on the computer and hang out with your rich friends every so often.
Even better, if you narrow that down to the wealthiest 1%, those people control 50% of all stock in the US.
Yeah, mine's basically doubled most weeks from even 2 years ago. That's even if I buy the cheapest stuff and reduce what I'm eating now overall. It's like they think the past doesn't exist and people can't just examine or remember things from less than a decade ago.

Also helps him bypass a lot of approvals. Remember, he did this with the stupid ballroom too.
Literally I think he believed that by denying them press credentials, he was killing the network outright.
