So Biden should officially designate Trump a domestic terrorist and send Seal Team 6 to Mar-A-Lago to take him out is how I read this.

Motto for this Supreme Court term: "L'État, c'est moi."

Perhaps the Alitos can put it on a flag of some kind.

New this week: agencies get no deference on their reasonable interpretations of law, and you can now challenge any rule at any time regardless of how old the rule is.

Literally going to paralyze the entire administrative state with litigation.

Meta's “pay or consent” advertising model, which it invented because it did not comply with the GDPR for 6 years, is not compliant with the DMA either. Can be fined now of up to 10% of Meta’s global turnover. #meta #dma #gdpr #privacy

SCOTUS’ Republicans Allow Presidents to Use SEAL Team 6 To Execute Their Opponents

Yes, if the President sics SEAL Team Six on his opponent as an official act, he is presumptively immune from consequences. The post SCOTUS’ Republicans Allow Presidents to Use SEAL Team 6 To Execute Their Opponents appeared first on emptywheel.

Justice #Sotomayor dissent:

“Never in the history of our Republic has a President had reason to believe that he would be #immune from #criminal prosecution if he used the trappings of his office to violate the criminal #law. Moving forward, however, all former Presidents will be cloaked in such #immunity.
…if the occupant of that office misuses official power for personal gain, the criminal law that the rest of us must abide will not provide a backstop. With fear for our #democracy, I dissent."

@SteveBellovin The laws will not take effect at this time. That's the bottom line of interest.

Democrat’s Choice: Get Busy Winning (With Biden) Or Get Busy Losing https://politizoom.com/democrats-choice-get-busy-winning-with-biden-or-get-busy-losing/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

For a better future.

As an added bonus, won't argue golfing-abilities, unless it's code-golf.

The fascists aren’t winning because neoliberalism has failed but because it has succeeded.

The "Pay or Consent" advertising model of Meta fails to comply with the Digital Markets Act.

Our preliminary findings show that this choice forces users to consent to the combination of their personal data and fails to provide them a less personalised but equivalent version of Meta’s social networks.
