If Putin had installed a president completely obedient to him and ordered him to kill the country, nothing would be different from what Trump did this past week.

California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Vaccines are safe and effective.

Autism isn't caused by vaccines, and autistic people and their families deserve our support.

When you want information, ask your doctor.

It's more important than ever for all of us to speak plainly, truthfully, and directly about public health.

How odd it must be for Italians in Italy to learn that of everyone to emigrate to the new world from there, we chose their worst guy to celebrate.

I'll wait for the opposition to read both screenplays. In the meantime, defendants' motion points out many differences and identifies similarities as scenes a faire (common elements often used in the genre and earlier works).

Since the case was filed in the spring, the defendants moved to dismiss, plaintiff amended its complaint, defendants moved to dismiss again (link below), and the parties agreed to continue the hearing date on that motion for a month.

This is infuriating. She excuses the orders as "preliminary," but that's an argument for applying settled law or preserving the status quo. Allowing POTUS to disregard Congressional appropriations and fire independent agency heads are neither, they're a radical restructuring of Constitutional order.

Amy Coney Barrett defends heavy use of the shadow docket: "If we wrote a long opinion, it might give the impression that we have finally resolved the issue, and in none of these cases have we finally resolved the issue."

I don't see how playing the game you had a license to install on your computer infringes any of the copyright owner's exclusive rights (reproduction, creating derivative works, distributing copies, public performance, public display).

"Access" isn't one the rights.

But Epic is also suing for copyright infringement on the theory that the license to Fortnite ended when the players violated the EULA and therefore infringed the copyright in the game by then "continu[ing] to access Fortnite," i.e., kept playing it.

Not the first copyright theory in an Epic complaint against cheaters I've disliked...

In its lawsuit last week against some Fortnite players who they allege violated the EULA by creating bots to boost engagement payouts, they've sued for breach of contract (sounds right).
