Old school 1970’s Argentinian president but yes.

It’s being widely reported that Facebook is taking down recent posts by historian Heather Cox Richardson. The post detail significant alleged wrong doing by the current regime and were removed with no warning or apparent recourse available to the author.

While corporations are, indeed free to do as they please with their content, suppressing speech like this puts Zuckerberg on par with Musk as slayers of truth.

Worth noting that the Wisconsin Supreme Court went to the Democrat by 57%.

He alone among his colleagues has finally grown some back bone. I can’t wait for the speech to be published.

I’m still waiting on our resident free speech absolutists to weigh in on this one. Popcorn is all done …

As it should, though only on the civil side so far.

It is illegal in that unit anyone else in government holding a clearance would be arrested, tried, convicted and sentenced for doing what they did. It’s also a civil violation of the records act.

Hillary was investigated by two House Select Committee headed by Republicans and by the IG at State in Trump’s first term. She was not found to have done anything other then exercise poor judgement.

No matter what Twitter-pates republicans think, the left was correct to shrug.

"

I am inclined to agree. The utter lack of caring by the administration is traction and the GOP on the Hill is the tell. They will make this a feature not a bug and move on.

Those of us below SecDef and DNI level who hold or held clearances would already have been arrested for this.

But her emails!

So Hamas does the things it agreed to in the initial cease fire, then entered into negotiations for the next phase and the proper Israeli response is to resume bombing civilians? And hamas is the only party here with agency?

Weird flex dude.

Why shouldn’t she be? She controls the people who would have to enforce any contempt citations against her.
