United States Politics: ∆τ_i*ε*φ*m_i<0 where ε=4 and φ=0.25

WASHINGTON — You could get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich, the saying goes, but, in Washington, a federal grand jury just declined to indict a man for throwing a salami sub.

The grand jury did not return an indictment against a former Justice Department employee who was seen on camera throwing a hoagie at the chest of one of the federal officers President Donald Trump has deployed in the nation’s capital, according to two people familiar with the matter.

Lawlessness back in DC.

The joke’s on Newsom: Court sides with Babylon Bee in striking down anti-deepfake law

A federal judge tossed a California law intended to prevent fake political ads from influencing elections, finding that the measure violated the First Amendment in response to a legal challenge filed by internet personalities and the Babylon Bee.

Senior U.S. District Judge John Mendez issued an order barring the state from enforcing Assembly Bill 2839, which bans AI-generated “disinformation and deepfakes” in political communications 120 days before an election.

“To be sure, deepfakes and artificially manipulated media arguably pose significant risks to electoral integrity, but the challenges launched by digital content on a global scale cannot be quashed through censorship or legislative fiat,” Judge Mendez said in his Friday decision.

“Just as the government may not dictate the canon of comedy, California cannot preemptively sterilize political content,” the judge said.

Judge Mendez also entered a judgment on Friday against Assembly Bill 2655, which requires online platforms to remove such content.

He previously ruled that the law violated Section 230 of the federal Communications Decency Act, which grants immunity to online platforms from liability over third-party content. The law was challenged by platforms X and Rumble.

It would be "the end of the United States" if President Trump's sweeping global tariffs are ultimately struck down by the Supreme Court, White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said Sunday.

...

Late Friday night, a federal appellate court upheld a lower-court ruling that Trump's sweeping global tariffs under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) were illegal.

Trump quickly warned the ruling could "literally destroy the United States" and suggested a Supreme Court appeal was coming.

The decision allows the IEEPA tariffs to remain in place through at least Oct. 14. It does not affect so-called Section 232 tariffs (like steel and aluminum) or Section 301 national tariffs (like the levies imposed on China in Trump's first term).

What they're saying: "This was weaponized partisan injustice at its worst. Politicians in black robes," Navarro said on Fox's "Sunday Morning Futures" of the court's 7-4 decision.

"If we lose the case, President Trump is right — it will be the end of the United States," he said

Save us Supreme Court, Americans can't compete and need higher prices on everything.

Reality: 

I get a chuckle just thinking of all that speculation only for it to turn out Trump was holed up with security all weekend, likely sitting there reviewing video in an apoplectic fury the whole time, the kind of rage that specifically comes from dealing with contractors.
