I suppose one way to view the current situation is a massive stress test for our republic’s democracy experiment. IF democracy survives and our institutions: 3 branches and free press, plus the constitution which includes due process, actually hold hopefully we will be stronger with lessons learned.
It's beginning to look like the presidency is a single point failure mode for America.
All it took was one bad part being installed to wreck the whole machine.

There aren’t really that many West Coast people on Bluesky for some reason, so around 1am ET, this website gets real quiet except for (1) the shitposters who don’t have kids and (2) Chris posting horrifying developments in the most fucked cases ever
Wild exchange.
DOJ lawyer, who shares this info only after asked, then concludes, "Apologies for not notifying you sooner." Then, asked if plaintiffs' lawyers could see it subject to conditions discussed Friday in court, DOJ says they don't have "authorization" and don't expect an answer tonight.

How will the courts reconcile Section 230, a federal law which significantly shields social media companies from liability for third-party content posted on their platforms, and social media companies’ First Amendment rights.
Are Social Media companies shielded from liability on both ends?
