Indeed. And even more if it weren’t just Democrats who were subjected to shame and consequences. (Though don’t get me wrong, I’m totally fine with Democrats being diverted to both and then some.)

According to the court they’re “new features” that have improved the products. I’m guessing this judge isn’t a heavy user of social platforms.

Yesterday, Trump defended the Saudi Crown Prince in the Oval Office.

He said he had “nothing” to do with the murder of Jamal Khashoggi.

But I reviewed a call while serving on Trump’s NSC that I believe would be of interest to the Khashoggi family and the American people.

Release the transcript.

I don’t know why but it really grates on me when people use “compute” as a noun.

No, just within the federal judicial district where the court is located (around Chicago).

I think his theory makes even more sense when you remember that digital advertising on the open web (which Google is endangering here) isn’t Google’s cash cow; search advertising is. So it makes sense to sacrifice that to keep users on Google’s properties, like search, and monetize them there.

Trump has not adequately alleged the falsity of CNN’s statements. Therefore, he has failed to state a defamation claim.
Trump’s other arguments are likewise meritless. He argues
that the district court erred in limiting its analysis to the five defamatory statements that he listed in his complaint. According to
Trump, the district court should have also analyzed the “more than
sixty instances of defamation set forth in the Notice Letter to CNN”
and the “nearly 7,700 instances in which CNN had defamed Plaintiff with the ‘Big Lie’ allegation.” Brief of Appellant at 18. Trump
has not alleged that any of these “instances of defamation” refer to
something other than CNN’s use of “Big Lie.” We have held that,
by using “Big Lie” to describe Trump, CNN was not publishing a
false statement of fact. Therefore, whether CNN used “Big Lie”
one time or many is irrelevant to the question of falsity.

11th Cir., in an unpublished order, holds that Trump's defamation lawsuit against CNN for its coverage of his election lies is meritless.

…and then the rest of the White House press corps pushed back against the president’s gratuitous insult aimed at one of their colleagues?

Oh wait! There’s no sign that anything like that happened!

Because access beats out solidarity, every day of the week.

In April 2009, the Washington Post asked 10 writers to make the case for something that deserves to be tossed out as part of "spring cleaning."

I chose Larry Summers.

Better late than never.
