California and Virginia let voters decide.
That’s the difference. They started this fight and Democrats are going to fucking finish it.
The difference is that before, he had to pay out of his own pocket for the amusement of tormenting his critics. Now he gets to do it with your money.
Like Trump’s other spurious political proescutions, this is borrowing a page from his private sector penchant for litigation as a weapon to make the target’s life hell. He doesn’t have to win. He gets to publicly smear them & cost them a lot of money & stress even when they ultimately win.
JUST IN: FBI Dir Kash Patel loses libel suit he filed against former FBI agent Frank Figliuzzi for saying Patel "reportedly" has been "visible at nightclubs far more" than at FBI HQ. Judge George Hanks (Obama/TXSD) says it was "rhetorical hyperbole." Doc: storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Amazing how much of Trump's presidency is just blowing up something good that Biden did and then slowly, incompetently, ineffectively trying to recreate it.
the UAE's threat wasn't subtle (give us swap lines or we're going to Beijing) but hassett is dodging here ("should that be necessary") and between this and the Abdulkhaleq post the other day I have to wonder if there was a massive rupture between the US and UAE at the end of last week

The Justice Department demanded Wayne County, Michigan turn over every single ballot, receipt, and envelope from the 2024 election. Wayne County is Detroit the largest Democratic county in the state.
i was just saying to a friend a few days ago that trump's public opinion collapse opens up the field of possibilities in ways that are truly unpredictable. it is one thing for a president to be this popular at the *end* of their turn, but not even two years in?
In the same manifesto, Palantir's owners argued that we need a national military draft, that soft power is over, and that we were too hard on Germany and Japan after World War II. I don't think that company should be allowed to exist anymore.
