    FTC claims Gmail filtering Republican emails threatens “American freedoms”

    The "." is being removed by part of the email service. Could be that they're scrubbed because of some rule an organization has. If both accounts exist, why would they bounce something that is addressed to a real address? I expect there isn't much that Google CAN do.

    Lawmaker: Trump’s Golden Dome will end the madness, and that’s not a good thing

    Do we know that the incoming wouldn't have a dead man switch that causes it to detonate? Or do you just want to rely on, hopes? Which is what you're doing. They don't even have to aim for the US, just the sky above us.

    Lawmaker: Trump’s Golden Dome will end the madness, and that’s not a good thing

    Probably, they want to Privatize everything. They think that there needs to be a profit motive for everything. Even though national defense is expressly a Federal Government responsibility per the Constitution, they don't believe in the Constitution. Except when they want it as a shield...

    Lawmaker: Trump’s Golden Dome will end the madness, and that’s not a good thing

    What happens when a nuke is intercepted above the continent? Does it just blow up harmlessly, or will it explode? The best defense is good international relations and diplomacy. Not making the largest military in the world stronger. We already spending more on defense than the next five...

    Lawmaker: Trump’s Golden Dome will end the madness, and that’s not a good thing

    Additionally, wouldn't a nuke going off above the ground even a few thousand feet still going to do massive amounts of damage? They generate an EMP, which will run easily across much of the national power grid, there are some safe guards, but would they be enough? Plus the radiation fallout...

    RFK Jr. wants to change program that stopped vaccine makers from leaving US market

    Ever hear of Company towns? Used to be a thing in the US. You got housing and could buy anything from the company store. With company money. We put an end to that. They want to bring it back.

    Via the False Claims Act, NIH puts universities on edge

    It's actually trying to add weight of legitimacy to it. This law has been on the books for X number of years. We reference the Amendments, and I reference the Treaty of Tripoli fairly often, but what laws, and court decisions, from back then are relevant to today's conversations? I don't...

    SCOTUS to review Florida and Texas social media laws in Big Tech vs GOP battle

    Shoot, 1st Amendment aside, would a pre-emption argument work? Section 230 kinda' covers this doesn't it? So if the Feds have stepped in then the States can't touch it generally speaking. Supremacy Clause. Of course they don't care about the Constitution, only power...

    Senate confirms Biden FCC nominee, finally giving Democrats a 3-2 majority

    Business getting mad and screaming at them? Which way that goes is entirely undecided, but I'd be willing to bet that they'd rather stick with the on position, it's expensive to change it every decade or so. It might lead to voluntary compliance. Cheapest in the long run, IF and this is a...

    Petition to deny Fox TV license over false election info gains steam at FCC

    I think the idea is that since the station is using public airwaves they have a duty to give multiple views of stories and opinions. It survived challenges I think, which is why Reagan removed it.

    China blocks Intel’s $5.4B merger with Tower Semiconductor

    I am wondering the same thing. My thoughts are that there was a provision covering the exact eventuality. I could be wrong though. Edit: And our question was answered while I was typing my reply. Sounds like it was something like I was thinking.

    Biden administration reverses Trump decision to relocate US Space Command

    I argue that we can pay attention in order to undo what they will do. This goes into your last argument. That could be additional fodder, perhaps what could finally be a deal breaker for some folk, providing the laundry can be aired.... And what can we do to try and prevent these style of...

    The Kids Online Safety Act isn’t all right, critics say

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duty_of_care It's not necessarily a provision per se. It would allow for potentially frivolous lawsuits and bankrupting of companies that are the current target of any groups ire. Sue 'em into bankruptcy...
