Breaking-- Dominion WINS part of its defamation claims against Fox News on summary judgment, and Fox

Breaking—

Dominion WINS part of its defamation claims against Fox News on summary judgment, and Fox LOSES their bid to dismiss the remainder of the claims, which will go to trial.

Story soon, @lawcrimenews


Prevailing on a motion for summary judgment in a defamation case is difficult and rare, expert @jkosseff told me in this old legal explainer on my podcast.

Give it a listen. https://lawandcrime.com/objections-pod


Essentially, the court is granting Dominion summary judgment on everything but actual malice, which will go to trial.

Twitter Will Exempt 10,000 Most-Followed Companies and Organizations From $1,000 Monthly Verified-St

Twitter Will Exempt 10,000 Most-Followed Companies and Organizations From $1,000 Monthly Verified-Status Charge: Report

Elon Musk-owned Twitter says that as of Saturday, April 1, it will begin removing “legacy” verified badges from individuals and organizations approved under the company’s previous criteria. Going forward, only paying customers will be granted the verified check-marks, which are now blue for individuals, gold for brands and companies, and gray for governmental organizations.

Twitter says it will charge businesses and organizations $1,000 per month (in the U.S.), including nonprofits and governments, to retain their verified status. In addition, the company will levy a $50 monthly charge for each affiliate subaccount (i.e., employees, brands or divisions).

But apparently not all organizations will have to pay Musk for the privilege. Twitter will waive the $1,000 monthly fee for its 500 largest advertising clients and for the 10,000 most-followed brands, companies and organizations that have been previously verified, the New York Times reported, citing an internal Twitter document.

The most-followed companies, brands and organizations on Twitter include @Twitter itself, as well as YouTube, NASA, CNN, ESPN, the New York Times, the NBA and the BBC’s breaking news account.

Here's the Chest X-Ray of a young girl suffering from a condition that is now the #1 cause of death

Here’s the Chest X-Ray of a young girl suffering from a condition that is now the #1 cause of death in children and adolescents in the U.S.

What’s the diagnosis?






I am a paediatric emergency physician working in Australia.

I have NEVER seen a gunshot wound in a child, and have not seen a gunshot wound in anyone for over 20 years.

This cause of death is the result of "choices" by politicians and the people they represent.
