I do not read anything in the Trump White House's appeal to the Supreme Court that would, as a practical matter, prevent the government from legally disappearing *anyone* to a foreign torture prison by "mistake" ballsandstrikes.org/law-politics...
If the Trump Administration Can Disappear Kilmar Abrego Garcia, It Can Disappear Anyone
The White House is asking the Supreme Court’s conservative supermajority for a Fifth Amendment pass.

OpenAI's CFO suggested that the government could be a "backstop" if they can’t pay their bills.
YOUR tax dollars as their "backstop."
Meanwhile, OpenAI pays its employees an average of $1.5 MILLION dollars a year in stock compensation.
Wow.
That's just wrong.

i feel like it is worth saying that a democratic house majority would help backstop any attempt to sabotage certification of the election in the event that harris wins.

MONTANA SUPREME COURT: “Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination,” and is subject to strict scrutiny under the Montana Constitution.
![Transgender discrimination is, by its very nature, sex discrimination. Discrimination based on sex is expressly prohibited under Montana’s unique Nondiscrimination Clause––“[n]either the state nor any person, firm, corporation, or institution shall discriminate on account of . . . sex . . . .” Thus, Article II, Section 4 is
unequivocal in its intolerance for discrimination based on sex. Because sex discrimination involves a fundamental right under Article II, the appropriate level of judicial review is strict scrutiny. Snetsinger, ¶ 17.
¶28 Being transgender is also a suspect class under the Equal Protection Clause of
Article II, Section 4,––“[n]o person shall be denied equal protection of the law.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:inwzoq34u52clnzwfmmv4j3b/bafkreidt45gkkqkhg24folszm4hyzpnuoyoe3f6f3pmqpoiqtvf6lweexi)

Requiring AM radio is actually good, it's the FEMA mandated public notification backstop. You all sound like anti regulation lunatics melting down about the 13 dollars in parts needed to install backup cameras. This isn't anti-EV agitprop, you have brainworms

Regulation should be:
1. You cannot backstop an investment, nor can you backstop their leases or debts.
2. You cannot invest in somebody who is a significant customer (over $5m annual revenue), and any shell corp/SPV shit is considered fraud.
3. You cannot provide free services to an investment.

Those cases were not just historical paperwork: they gave families a federal backstop when local school systems resisted equal access. Scrapping them removes the leverage that made desegregation enforceable.

i'd feel like 200% better about everything if we had a constitutionalist majority in congress because that is probably the most important backstop to Cool Zone Events™
Nebraska, Iowa, Alaska, Kansas, and Texas are all in play. And Brown absolutely has a shot in Ohio, he's a meaningful overperformer.
