But under Trump, the Department is run by a sycophantic election denying enabler. The result is DOJ's credibility with judges is in tatters and it is losing case after case.

Space-based sensor systems can be similarly lighter and far more capable. This revolution in the cost to orbit and the cost of computing power has likely hit an inflection point where it may be less expensive to build a missile defense shield than to build offensive nuclear weapons. The U.S. builds a new ICBM for about $162 million, while a modern missile interceptor, at 110 pounds, might cost $2,727 to launch into orbit and $1 million to manufacture. Deploying 1,000 interceptors could cost $1 billion (many interceptors are needed in orbit to counter any given launch), versus $16.2 billion for 100 ICBMs, suggesting defense could be cheaper, especially with ongoing technological improvements.

No. The algorithm is fundamentally different now. If you are not a paid account pushing right-wing propaganda, your reach is a tiny fraction of what it was. You're posting in a chatroom of your followers. Nothing more.
