Today was Gov. Hogan's last Board of Public Works meeting. One item on the agenda was funding for the school's Cross Center for Engineering, Arts, & Robotics. A DM contingent was on hand for the meeting & immediately after presented this DM jersey to the state's 62nd Governor.

Hate speech is absolutely protected by the First Amendment—explicitly so, according to the Supreme Court. Embarrassing when people don't know this, moreso when it's a U.S. senator.

.@SenatorCardin: "If you espouse hate, if you espouse violence, you're not protected under the First Amendment. I think we can be more aggressive in the way that we handle that type of use of the internet."

I protect your right to espouse hate. There is no hate speech exception to me. I also protect your right to espouse violent speech, unless the speech is intended to and likely to incite imminent lawless action or constitutes a true threat. twitter.com/thehill/status…

My Election Case provided the world with evidence that proves our elections are run outside of the law. This Judge did not rule in our favor. However, for the sake of restoring faith and honesty in our elections, I will appeal his ruling.

I have never been swayed by the "Twitter is a private company" argument. And I'm left wondering, as I wrote yesterday
@TheFP
, whether any unelected individual or clique should have this kind of power over the public conversation. You can read it here:

If the story of Twitter's former overlords is about their prejudices and power trips, the question now is what Elon Musk will do with the powerful tools they created.

I can’t imagine being a radio talk show host and not knowing the difference between involuntary taxes and fees and voluntary activity like sports betting.
