Well.
Here’s an interesting story. I’d love to see corroboration, but the thing is, it’s not at all hard to believe.
The straight dope, from the 12 News article:
"From Montana taxes, 12 News found that the incorporated address listed for CyTech is Cotton’s home in Montana; however, the registered office for CyTech is in Manassas, Virginia.
Where exactly this lab is located is not known."

This could help us win the war:
Hats off to FB, even if their ruling is incredibly tardy. I’ll take it.
Trump can sue FB under Florida’s new social media law, which explicitly prohibits banning candidates for elected office during election season.

Oh, I think he should. I really do. Not a fight I think he can win, just as I don’t believe Florida’s new law can bind companies from making and enforcing their own rules for participation on their platform. Federal oversight can change that, but I don’t think the State of Florida can.
I guess we’ll see.
But he isn’t a candidate, and it isn’t election season.
Me, too, because it will hasten the law being found unconstitutional. More #winning for Individual One.
What a strange law. So, if I want to violate the terms of service of a social media company (post racist stuff or porn or whatever), all I need to do it throw my hat in the ring for local dog catcher or something?
Yeah, I think I’ll make a dedicated topic sometime.

What’s a candidate? My understanding is that he’s already declared for the 2024 race.
There’s nothing saying how early a candidate can declare, or when election season begins.
I wonder if that would mean that who a candidate was, and when “election season” was open would end up being more defined.
Does seem as though there is nothing to stop us from becoming a nation of perpetual candidates, in order to get around social media restrictions. May be interesting on campaign finance laws as well.
As defined by state law, it involves registering with the relevant body (eg: the FEC or a local supervisor of elections).

I bet there is a fee (small) for that. And Trump doesn’t have his ‘Charitable’ Foundation to pull from. Gonna be a tough choice for him.
Seems to me that Facebook does business nationwide, even world-wide. The Commerce Clause should apply, preventing Florida from trying to regulate Facebook. Only Congress could do that.
Joe Munchkin? Sinema? Where are you?
Profiles in chickenshit. If there’s one thing I truly admire about the Republicans, it’s that they wear their anti-democratic emblem on their sleeves proudly. You know where they stand. If you vote for them, you know what you’re voting for.
Democrats wuss out every time.
Without a doubt. These stupid fucks await Republican cooperation like they just woke up today and have no recollection of anything.
At some point we’ll have to change the thread title, because a war is when two sides are fighting.
Voting reform is going to be stalled by him.
Translation: “The West Virginia Republican stooge believes S.1 might slow the destruction of democracy in the USA and must therefore be stopped.”
On Manchin’s tombstone these words appeared: “My name is Manchin, Wuss of Wusses. Look on my lack of work, ye mighty, and despair.”
Re: H.1/S.1… whether or not I think the bill is desirable/not desirable depends on which article I’m reading and who I am talking to. 
It’s 886 pages so I really ought to set time aside to read up before jumping to conclusions.
