Summary

The Supreme Court ruled in Murthy v. Missouri, that the states of Missouri and Louisiana have no standing to challenge the Biden Administration’s meddling in online speech. So who does? Meanwhile, Julian Assange, founder of WikiLeaks, has reached a plea deal with the US and is now a free man, leaving onlookers to wonder about details of the deal that—ironically—will probably remain secret. Finally, the editors take George Latimer’s expensive primary victory over Jamaal Bowman as occasion to look at the internal battle on the Left between old guard Marxists and the new cultural purists. And of course, you are reminded to read the damn site!

consternation over Iraq and all that, but those chickens have very much come

home to roost. We need federal legislation, state-level legislation making clear that we are all willing to take the

risk of actually remaining the United States of America in the digital age, although it may be inconvenient or slightly

more arduous path than that taken by great collectivist regimes elsewhere.
