#Politics From #CNN: 6-3 #SCOTUS majority rule that presidents may "urge" social media to remove disinformation. The majority found that the plaintiffs didn't have standing (i.e. hadn't suffered an injury or loss).

The #LATimes looks back at the 1910 bombing of its building by a union radical.
If you have Paramount Plus ... Watched this 1961 Twilight Zone episode last night. It's about a librarian condemned to death for being "obsolete" because books have been banned.
Inspired by many sources, name-checks Hitler and Stalin, but also speaks to today's #MAGA book-banning.
Also ... Burgess Meredith.

#Politics From #TheHill: Rep. Anna Luna (R-FL) will force vote to have Attorney General Merrick Garland arrested and dragged before the House for trial.
Comment ... Are the #MAGA Republicans plotting this as counter-programming to Thursday night's presidential debate? π€

#SpaceX is now targeting 5:26 PM EDT / 2:26 PM PDT for the #FalconHeavy launch and landing from #KSC Pad 39A. The payload is a #NASA #NOAA hurricane satellite. Watch live now on the NASA TV YouTube channel. Must see TV!

#Politics From #NYTimes: Judge Merchan says the #Trump gag order will be lifted after July 11 sentencing. In the interim, can attack witnesses, but individual jurors are still protected.

#SpaceX is targeting 5:16 PM EDT for the #FalconHeavy launch of the #NASA #NOAA GOES-U satellite from #KSC Pad 39A.
Because it's a NASA payload, the NASA YouTube channel will carry the launch, starting at 4:15 PM EDT. You'll want to watch; a Falcon Heavy launch and landing is must-see TV!
Right now, the weather forecast is only 30% favorable, but it's a two-hour launch window.
#Politics Following the #CNN thread on today's #Trump classified documents hearing, Judge Cannon seems to have spent much of the morning questioning the special counsel's budget and funding, as if that's relevant.

@LnzyHou There's more than a wee bit of hypocrisy on that list.

@MLClark As with many Trek episodes, it wraps up a little too neatly. Months of depression and survivors' guilt resolved by one thrilling mission?! Meh. But TV back then was still episodic, so it had to wrap up to satisfy future syndication possibilities.
The Delta Flyer has a *lot* of windows. Those are vulnerable points for an attack. Sure, it's pretty to look outside, but Voyager tends to piss off people in the Delta Quadrant.
