A plane carrying former president Donald Trump suffered engine failure late Saturday evening over the Gulf of Mexico, forcing the pilot to make an emergency landing in New Orleans shortly after taking off from the city.
Remember: Twitter is Elon's company, he has the free speech and free association right to run it pretty much however he wants and to ban people for petty narcissistic reasons.
And we have the right to laugh and point at his ridiculousness and at the free-speech pretenses of his gullible fans.

Daniel Schuman@waldoj It seems like a good reason for Senators Schumer and Durbin to bring the Supreme Court Ethics, Recusal and Transparency Act (S. 4188, HR 7647) to the floor.
It would make judicial recusal, travel, gift and amicus filing rules more exacting; require real adjudication of recusal motions; and require a Supreme Court ethics code.

Mark Posen 🌱 💚 Ⓥ 🇪🇺 🇺🇦Hey, people (like me) moving to #Mastodon from #Twitter! If you've set up automatic crossposting from Twitter to here, please consider turning it off. I don't think it works well; formatting often looks odd, but also as you can't really engage, because replies don't end up on Twitter. But mainly because I think it's disrespectful to the Mastodon community; almost as if you can't be bothered to engage here. If you've got something to say here, say it *here*. That's my strong suggestion!
