Not the only one, apparently. (via Not the Bee – those guys are really on top of things!)

BTW, I had wondered why Meta’s Zuckerberg made so many “confessions” to Joe Rogan last week; now it looks like he was trying to set his “I was just an innocent bystander” narrative before this hit the news. I hadn’t seen anything about their original lawsuit, but that’s not surprising.
What with having to raid Mar-a-lago to confiscate documents that President Trump claimed were covered by executive privilege, and all.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Yesterday, Missouri Attorney General Eric Schmitt and Louisiana Attorney General Jeff Landry filed a Joint Statement on Discovery Disputes, asking the Louisiana District Court to compel the Department of Justice to turn over communications between high-ranking Biden Administration officials from the White House, Department of State, FBI and others and major social media companies. The Department of Justice has already turned over communications between a number of federal officials and social media companies but has refused to provide communications between top-ranking officials and social media companies.

“Missouri and Louisiana filed a landmark lawsuit back in May that seeks to expose how top Biden Administration officials allegedly colluded with social media companies to censor freedom of speech on a number of topics, including COVID-19. We won in court in July, and the Court required the Biden Administration to turn over communications between federal officials and social media companies,” said Attorney General Schmitt. “We have already received a number of documents that clearly prove that the federal government has an incestuous relationship with social media companies and clearly coordinate to censor freedom of speech, but we’re not done.

The Department of Justice is cowering behind executive privilege and has refused to turn over communications between the highest-ranking Biden Administration officials and social media companies. That’s why, yesterday, we asked the Court to compel the Department of Justice to produce those records. We’re just getting started – stay tuned.”

The communications already provided by the Department of Justice to the plaintiff states show, as the joint statement points out, a vast “Censorship Enterprise” across a multitude of federal agencies. In response to Missouri and Louisiana’s interrogatories, defendants identified 45 federal officials at DHS, CISA, the CDC, NIAID, and the Office of the Surgeon General (all of which are contained in either DHS or HHS) that communicate with social media platforms about “misinformation” and censorship.
…

Beyond the Department of Justice’s production, “Meta, for example, has disclosed that at least 32 federal officials—including senior officials at the FDA, the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, and the White House—have communicated with Meta about content moderation on its platforms, many of whom were not disclosed in response to Plaintiffs’ interrogatories to Defendants. YouTube disclosed eleven federal officials engaged in such communications, including officials at the Census Bureau and the White House, many of whom were also not disclosed by Defendants.”

The joint statement continues, “The discovery provided so far demonstrates that this Censorship Enterprise is extremely broad, including officials in the White House, HHS, DHS, CISA, the CDC, NIAID, and the Office of the Surgeon General; and evidently other agencies as well, such as the Census Bureau, the FDA, the FBI, the State Department, the Treasury Department, and the U.S. Election Assistance Commission. And it rises to the highest levels of the U.S. Government, including numerous White House officials. Defendants have objected to producing some of the most relevant and probative information in their possession.”

This “Censorship Enterprise” is proven by the Department of Justice’s productions thus far, but the full extent of federal officials’ collusion with social media companies on censorship is unknown until the Department of Justice produces further communications requested by Missouri and Louisiana.

The email chains for several cases then follow.
Haven’t people learned yet that (1) FOIA and trial discovery are the instruments of Karma; (2) the internet is forever.

“But every election season we hear the same bunk from the same rubes and carnies and the same lame rationalizations from people who know this is bunk from rubes and carnies but think we shouldn’t say so out loud.”

““But the other guys are worse!” used to be a pretty persuasive argument, until the Republicans tried to stage a coup d’état and nine-tenths of the conservative commentariat decided to try to justify that or explain it away in the hopes of selling one more doggie-vitamin advertisement. Donald Trump is out there right now calling for himself to be installed as president through some unconstitutional means. And Republicans act like he’s either the Second Coming of George Washington or, at worst, the wacky sitcom neighbor of U.S. politics.”

“Enough, finally, is enough.”

Is there a chance Williamson coordinated his column today with the White House?

What exactly are the policies contained in President Trump’s agenda– the policies of better trade deals, secure border, avoiding endless wars, calling out partners when they aren’t pulling their weight for their own defense, improving the economic circumstances for blue collar, blacks and Hispanics and appointing conservative judges that respect the constitution that they object to?

Yes, the GOPe isn’t in charge right now– but if they think they can con conservatives again with empty promises– that time is past. President Trump at least made progress in his first four years, often being undermined by people professing to be on the same team.

The GOPe had their chance, but they took every opportunity to ignore the people they professed to represent.

Is this just sour grapes, or are they announcing they’re going to blow up the Republican party?

They calculated the denominator of vaccines against the reports of menstrual irregularities using TOTAL NUMBER OF ADULT DOSES – meaning, men were included in the equation of how common menstrual irregularities were.

This is very, very concerning information leaked from the Israeli Ministry of Health.
…
a research team commissioned by the Israeli MoH warns: “We’ll have to think medical-legal – how to present our findings to avoid lawsuits. Why? Because of quite a few side effects (SEs) we said: ‘OK, it exists and reports exist, BUT STILL GET VACCINATED'”
…
The findings revealed a range of long-term SEs, including ones not listed by Pfizer, and a high rate of rechallenge (recurrence of an SE after repeated doses), which as the team repeatedly stresses, establish causal relations with the vaccine.
…
Nevertheless, the IMOH withheld the findings for 2 months, even from their own expert committee which decided 3 weeks later to clear the vaccine for infants.
