... Texas AG Ken Paxton opened an investigation into Media Matters in late November of 2023, after the organization published a report showing ads from major brands appearing next to antisemitic and white supremacist content on the social platform formerly known as Twitter.

Media Matters' report sparked a wave of advertiser pullback, which angered X owner Elon Musk. Musk then sued Media Matters, alleging the group knowingly manipulated data to push a damaging narrative about brand safety on the platform.

On the same day that Musk filed suit, Texas' Paxton kicked off a probe into Media Matters, alleging it "fraudulently manipulated data on X.com."

A district court granted Media Matters a preliminary injunction, which blocked Paxton's attempt to enforce a pre-litigation subpoena.

Now, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit affirmed an earlier decision from a district court to block Paxton's subpoena attempt, calling the effort an "arguably bad-faith investigation." ...

@#10 ... There was plenty of evidence before DOGE now its all out in the open, but you're too blind to see it, I may add. ...

DOGE ... out in the open?

Surely your current trolling alias jests.

DOGE looks to be one of the most secretive part of the Trump government that I have seen.

Yeah, Mr Musk had promised transparency, but when push came to shove about his apparent true intentions for transparency ...

@#3 ... This self driving is%^* is gonna kill people. ...

I agree, but maybe for a different reason.

How many drivers will turn on and just sit back as they have believed the sales pitch of full self-driving?

Asked differently, one evening in a winter a few years ago, when we used to get snow here, I was driving home from an evening visit with a friend's family.

Many of the roads I drove on were not visible because snow does not distinguish between road and non-road.

So, I was navigating by my memory of the houses and other structures on the road.

Full-self driving seems to have issues in the States where there is no such thing as snow.

But ... that aside ... how does full self-driving do in snow-bound roads?

Why don't we see information about that?

@#15 ... You call this journalism? Please. ...

They aren't confidential memos, they are legally required public notices, and the words within these notices are not "corporate speak for potential eviction wrapped in legal niceties" they are verbatim, required lnguge from the state statute. ...

So, the media are reporting public documents.

And that is a problem ... why?

But more to what I see as the point of your comments ...

From the article you cite ...

... status earlier this month after Musk's aerospace and defense company won a local election, according to a Bloomberg report. It is now governed by officials who are current or former SpaceX employees. ...

So, the media seems to just be reporting on the effects of what the residents voted for?

Yes, I do call that journalism.

So, that leads me to ask, specifically, what's your concern?

Does Pres Trump have a strategy that might explain there tactics?

If so, what is it?

@#20 .... That's why Putin got him elected. ...

That view seems to be more and more correct with each passing day.

... House Bill 7162 overhauls the state's century-old towing statutes and comes in response to an investigation by the Connecticut Mirror and ProPublica that showed how state towing laws have come to favor tow companies at the expense of drivers. It takes several steps to make it harder to tow vehicles from private property and easier for drivers to retrieve their vehicles after a tow.

The bill, which passed the House of Representatives last week with wide bipartisan support and little debate, sailed through the Senate on a 33-3 vote.

"It's reform that ensures transparency, it ensures fairness and accountability, but does all of this without undercutting the essential work that ethical and professional tow operators do each and every day for us, keeping our roads safe and our properties accessible," said Transportation Committee Co-chair Sen. Christine Cohen, D-Guilford. "We've learned over the years, and particularly over the last year due to some investigative reporting, of some particularly egregious circumstances." ...

@#6

Yeah, my first impression of this was along the lines of "the blind leading the blind."

But, to be honest, I did not want to post that.

imo, I thought it was too damning of Pres Trump.

So, I did not post that comment.

[sigh]

@#35 ... clone ...

Clone, or just a lame attempt at reincarnation?

I've not yet reached that decision.

@#1 ... To be fair to Tesla, a human driver would have had problems stopping in time to avoid the dummy ...

Also to be fair, a human driver might have noticed the school bus lights, and stopped.

More from the article ...

... The self-proclaimed self-driving gadfly posted a video this week showing a staged event in which a Tesla running the latest version of its self-driving software illegally overtook a school bus with its red lights flashing (indicating it is dropping off passengers) and then slammed into a child-sized mannequin emerging from the sidewalk. The car identified the pedestrian, but didn't stop after hitting it and carried on down the road.

To be fair to Tesla, a human driver would have had problems stopping in time to avoid the dummy, although one would hope that a human driver would have noticed the lights and stopped as legally required. However, the software running the car -- FSD (Supervised) 13.2.9 -- did not. (FSD originally for "full self-driving," but as the parenthetical now denotes, Tesla's own documentation has always said that the driver should be supervising at all times.)

The Dawn Project has its own agenda. It was founded by software entrepreneur Dan O'Dowd to highlight the dangers of Tesla's self-driving claims when matched with reality. O'Dowd, who owns several Teslas himself -- including original Roadster models -- has been sounding concerns about the software for years. ...

@#10 ... There was plenty of evidence before DOGE now its all out in the open, ...

Really?

Perhaps, then, your current trolling alias might be able to provide any manner of substantiation for that assertion.

@#9 ... Where is this? ...

@#13 ... Clickbait, faux outrage, ...

I'm not there yet.

@#31 ...

Interesting tune that just popped up on a playlist here ...

@#31 ... Funny ...

Your current trolling alias should be more specific in its posts.

What, exactly, does it find to be funny?

@#11 ... Yet this one time, "journalists" consider it newsworthy. ...

Why might that be the case?

So, instead of honoring our Veterans, Pres Trump now seems to want only to celebrate the winnings in the wars?

Not honoring those who fought the wars, but just the winning?

@#5 ... wants to change Veteran's Day and create a new holiday for VE day ...

Found this ...

17.6 Veteran suicides per day.

A different approach ...

... 'Well, we all are going to die' ...

Yeah, and, fwiw, I suspect Sen Ernst may eventually regret the saying of that statement.

Just a guess and an opinion at this point.

@#24 ... Turns out Sarah Palin was right about government "death panels". She just referred to the wrong party. ...

Looks that way.

@#18 ... Why would vets need medicaid if they can get VA coverage? ...
