NEW: By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court blocks Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago to assist immigration agents. A majority holds that he likely lacks authority to do so. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...

Nevertheless, the Department of Defense and the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts persisted.

Trump announces an "unprecedented four-day athletic event" with "one young man and one young woman from each state and territory"

I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

Newt is lying.

Practically every day reveals new evidence that our President, while being physically elderly, has the emotional maturity of a 6 year old.

The product liability argument for social media is not a good one because it was designed for actual products that cause direct harm to the person using it. You can't say that social media sites should be held liable when their algorithms unintentionally link together or show posts when ....

Great fracking story about Rob Reiner.

I'm rewatching Babylon 5 (currently on season 3) and it's hitting so much harder right now than it had in the past. I know that it was referencing historical precedent on a number of issues, but it was still prescient on the same things.

i think this is my favourite delivery of this joke

FYI: the “disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan” was negotiated and begun by…. Donald Trump

Everyone (esp media) pay attention. In 2021 almost every Republican attacked the Biden administration and State dept for being too slow in approving Afghanistan special visas as Afghanistan fell. Now they are attacking Biden for doing what they asked him to do.

"Quiet, piggy!"

Absolutely.

And this is why you don't want the gov't having policies, rules, or regulations to review "truth" in the news.

It's always hilarious when someone tells someone else to read a decision that that never read themselves, instead relying upon a couple of paragraphs of a secondary source they read. The same person, relying on said paragraphs, said the other person was ignoring the context of the decision.

Fair enough. In my experience, the commentary shut off is used for the purpose I described. But I acknowledge that there are other, valid reasons to do so.

Query: why did you shut off your comments on the below? Was it because you didn't want anyone to offer proof to show that there is no legal definition of "news?" And that the legal meaning of what they argued defines what their statement meant? They did not seek to say that Tucker was not ...

"Therefore, science demands that you don't believe science."

I have a firm belief that there are certain things that, when said or claimed, automatically demonstrates that the speaker is not what is uttered. Example: Saying "I'm modest" shows you're not. Or using the word "classy" shows that the speaker lacks class. Add "maximum alpha" to the list.

Yes, the article is wrong on a number of things. The FCC has never licensed or regulated cable channels. Nor can they under the First Amendment. If the Doctrine had not been repealed, it could never have been applied to cable channels. Or social media sitese, newspapers, etc.

Now Ted is the one being constantly pegged.

The dramatic repudiation of Trump this week wrecks a number of absurd narratives the media has pushed lately. In the runup to the election, NYT pieces kept telling us Dems were overly obsessed with attacking Trump. That dumb idea now lies in ruins. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2027...

Whenever anyone cites the example of the journalistic ethics of people like Walter Cronkite in an argument why the Fairness Doctrine should be reinstated, remind them that Cronkite was against the FCC regulation of content on broadcast TV. www.broadcastlawblog.com/2009/07/arti....

If I had to guess right now (and it is premature!) I'd say the Supreme Court is going to strike down Trump's tariffs. All three liberals are clearly against the government. Barrett too. Roberts leaning that way. And we haven't even gotten to tax-hater Gorsuch yet.

Well, except that the "loneliness epidemic" is often spurred by the desire for a trad-wife.

The solution to the male loneliness epidemic is attending a local Democratic Party canvassing event.

A movie you've seen more than 7 times with a gif

The Fairness Doctrine did not ban "propaganda networks." It applied to only to over-the-air "broadcast stations" not any "networks" and only required such stations to provide airtime access to opposing viewpoints. Plus, because the FCC has never regulated cable channels (nor could it under ...

Now Trump is hoping to at least get a Daytime Nobel Peace Prize.

MIT's response to the Trump admin's proposed "compact" is excellent and should be a model for other universities. orgchart.mit.edu/letters/rega...

Regarding the alleged arrest of “the girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa.” 1) it’s not illegal to date someone. 2) antifa is a leaderless and loosely organized ideology, not a group 3) if antifa did have a founder, I’m pretty sure it would be a 150 year old Italian person.

I just saw a reel on another platform claiming that the best enemies to frenemies storyline was Roy Kent and Jamie Tart from Ted Lasso. I mourned for that person that they never witnessed the entertaining, tragic, and provoking pair of G'kar and Londo Mollari.

I don't know. I think this guy was the one to blame.

I stand with PBS. I stand with NPR. I stand with Stephen Colbert. I stand with Jimmy Kimmel. I stand with the First Amendment. PERIOD.* *Also #ReleaseTheEPSTEIN_Files

Remember when the Right was up in arms about the Biden gov't "coercing" Facebook behind closed doors to block peopel based on their statements in violation of 1A? Apparently, if you do the coercion in front over everyone, it's okay.

In light of Pam Bondi's statements today, targeting Dem's speech as "hate speech," this statement is incredibly idiotic. There's a reason why "hate speech" is protected. It's so corrupt govt's like Trump's cannot use it to target his opponents.

The "clear and present danger" standard has been out-of-date for longer than it was ever good law. Brandenburg v. Ohio replaced it in 1968 with the "imminent harm" standard. And yelling fire in a crowded theater ceased to be a danger of panic after the invention of fire alarms and sprinklers; ...

Fetterman: “You’re not an autocrat unless you come from the Prussian region of Aurocratia. Anywhere else and you’re just a sparkling strongman.”

So was Hitler, you utter dumbass @fetterman.senate.gov

It almost never fails. Inform someone that last summer, SCOTUS in Netchoice v Moody, held that social sites have a 1A right against being compelled to display viewpoints they don’t like, and the person will assume that it was a corrupt decision by the MAGA Justices.
