Grand Juries are no joke! They've always been a huge abuse of power, which is fun if it's against the GQP.”

Adam Nash ☑️ @adamnash: “Brutal, if true”

Attached is a screenshot of a NY Times article: “Mr. Musk also appears unlikely to pay the golden parachutes that the fired top executives of Twitter were set to receive. Under the merger agreement, those executives - including Parag Agrawal, the chief executive - had been set to receive compensation of $20 million to $60 million if they were fired. But Mr. Musk terminated the executives ‘for cause,’ meaning he did it with justification, which may void that agreement, two people with knowledge of the matter said.”

“This poorly written letter from my passive aggressive neighbor telling me to remove my 'legally-owned' plants from my property:”

“It has come to our attention to our residents that the potted plants outside of your porch are not real and decoration.This will reflect extremely poorly to our houses and other constitencies in the area who have real plants who might wish to sell there homes one day, and buyers running away when they saw your plants. Earlier this week, myself and 14 other neighbors (including the state enviroment official) have held a group meeting to discuss the appropriate action necessary to solve this issue. As of this writing, we have decided to grant to you 2 days to remove the selected plants from your porch. IF you chose to not correspond, there might be an official action taken that will include the police called to write an lawsuit, or the flowery being removed and discarded of quite immediately. You must within 2 days minimum.”

“Attorney General Letitia James is serious about holding social media outlets accountable for distributing content designed to incite hatred or violence, and she even has a plausible strategy to avoid the inevitable - and important - First Amendment obiections to limiting free speech.”

“Her proposed changes in federal and state laws, she told The News' Editorial Board, fall into the same category as child pornography - so revolting and abusive that courts have put it beyond constitutional protection. Few - we suspect and hope - would argue otherwise.”

Screenshot from article in THE BUFFALO NEWS:

“We would add that the First Amendment also does not permit shouting ‘Fire!’ in a crowded theater when there is no fire. The risk of mass injury and death is too great. So it is with social media posts whose aim is to incite violence. Indeed, incitement to riot is already a crime.”

Obnoxious, belligerent certainty increases proportionally with the wrongness of bad First Amendment takes. Does this hold true for other bad takes?

However this sham of an admin colluded with social media to limit viewpoints that didn't match theirs. Sounds like 1930s and 40s Germany to me.”

759_away @759_away: “The federal judiciary as a whole, including the district courts and courts of appeals, is a check on the presidency. These lower courts have the authority to enjoin unlawful executive orders. I'm not sure where you get your belief that SCOTUS and only SCOTUS has this authority.”

GalacticFirebrand @GalactiPolitics: “Because it's true? They're local, they're not federal, and forgiving debt is lawful. You're confusing "actual facts" with ‘wishful MAGA whining’ which isn't good for reasonable debate. I suggest taking a course on civics or political science before debating on the internet.”
