The US has a law to limit the liability of gun manufacturers.

The Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act (PLCAA) is a U.S law, passed in 2005, that protects firearms manufacturers and dealers from being held liable when crimes have been committed with their products. Both arms manufacturers and dealers can still be held liable for damages resulting from defective products, breach of contract, criminal misconduct, and other actions for which they are directly responsible. However, they may be held liable for negligent entrustment if it is found that they had reason to believe a firearm was intended for use in a crime.

I'm pretty sure this supreme court would rule that people don't have a right to electricity, or even water. They'll probably be totally ok with people losing internet access as punishment for crossing media owners.

Probably best to never follow Alberta on anything while Smith is in charge.

Didn't take them 60 votes to ignore the parliamentarian and revoke the waivers that let California set its own emissions standards.

The Senate has overruled the guidance of the parliamentarian, a nonpartisan staffer who interprets the Senate's rules, and voted 51 to 44 to overturn a waiver allowing California to set its own air pollution standards for cars that are stricter than national regulations. The Senate has only overruled its parliamentarian a handful of times in the 90-year history of the role.

Anyway, the decision comes with a huge catch:

While the ruling means that coverage of preventive health care is no longer under threat, the ruling clarifies that the health secretary has direct authority over the USPSTF. The clarification raises concern that the current secretary, Kennedy, could remove task force members and/or undo recommendations to suit his personal ideology, as he is now doing with the vaccine advisory board at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

Preventative care is covered, but RFK Jr. has control over the group that recommends which preventative care should be covered.

“Finally cancelling my Spotify subscription – why am I paying for a fuckass app that works worse than it did 10 years ago, while their CEO spends all my money on technofascist military fantasies?” said one user on X.

You shouldn't be "paying for a fuckass app that works worse than it did 10 years ago" regardless of anything an executive has done. Be less lazy and cancel subscriptions to shitty services.

Also, if a CEO doing a bad thing is a dealbreaker for them, why the fuck are they on twitter?.

Nah, burn Mar-a-Lago instead to make sure Trump knows it's personal.

Can the consideration be "this person makes poor financial decisions"?

Mother Jones has a full-text RSS feed. No pictures, but no ads either.

"Many respected constitutional experts argue that the War Powers Act is itself unconstitutional. I'm persuaded by that argument."

I don't think he was persuaded by the argument, I think he was hoping such an argument existed. Anything for daddy Trump.

Look, when a guy regularly tweets with caps lock you've got to lower your expectations.

Is this the first time a WWE hall of famer has put a major show in jeopardy?
