That suit was against the FEC for not holding Rick Scott accountable for illegal coordination with a super PAC. He delayed declaration of his Senate candidacy while the super PAC raised funds for him and colluded with him on expenditures. No campaign no foul right? A district court sided with the FEC but the decision was appealed in circuit court Jan this year. The case is still ongoing. Anyway, even if the appeal doesn’t do anything, the case does not provide a precedent for collusion after the declaration of candidacy - that’s still illegal.

Neither is okay. Super PAC expenditures cannot be made “in concert or cooperation with, or at the request or suggestion of, a candidate, the candidate’s campaign or a political party”

While his super PAC has already raised $130 million, it can’t run his campaign. Campaigns rely on many continuous small donations which DeSantis is just not pulling in. Mega donors too seem uncertain on DeSantis, and justifiably so given that he has been trailing Trump by 30% points in the national polls for a few months now and isn’t closing in. No one wants to fund a loser.

Damn it really persists. Good one

There are so many from the GOP this time I’ve barely heard of. Useful resource to track them and their campaign positions. Though none of them are any competition to DeSantis in the opinion polls. Neither is DeSantis to Trump. Never imagined I’d say that’s a good thing but oh my god Ron

@politicus on kbin. There is also @USpolitics. This magazine should allow for politics from all over. Especially so if you plan to allow discussion threads revolving around general political themes instead of specific stories, since you will likely draw in more participation from non-Americans as well.

I see you’ve got it! Here’s a guide to kbin if you need

Is this the fOrMiDaBlE iNtElLiGeNcE you referenced in your anti-LGBTQ+ ad, Ron? That lost you millions of dollars worth of business to pander to a bunch of internet trolls that probably aren’t even old enough to vote? sigh

While I understand the fediverse may pose a learning curve, please note it does not refer to a forum, which is why there are introduction pages. As for Reddit being straight forward, it’s been developing for about 18 years now. Kbin in comparison is about two months into development.

An excerpt:

Methane gas absorbs almost all the sunlight falling on the atmosphere at this picture’s specific infrared wavelength (3.23 microns). As a result, Saturn’s familiar striped patterns aren’t visible because the methane-rich upper atmosphere blocks our view of the primary clouds. Instead, Saturn’s disk appears dark, and we see features associated with high-altitude stratospheric aerosols, including large, dark, and diffuse structures in Saturn’s northern hemisphere that don’t align with the planet’s lines of latitude. Unlike Saturn’s atmosphere, its rings lack methane, so at this infrared wavelength, they are no darker than usual and thus easily outshine the darkened planet.

Google Search has been accusing me of being a robot a lot lately, making me solve a bajillion captchas. So I’ve stopped using search engines entirely. I’ve bookmarked a lot of the sites I regularly visit and have realized I don’t really need Google, apart from for getting the correct links to said websites because I can’t remember their .orgs and .coms.
