Are You Ready for Another Bush v. Gore?
#SCOTUS Is.

How #Trump could win, thanks to just 5 votes.

The #SupremeCourt will begin a new term on Monday, in which it is set to hear pivotal cases about #transgender rights, our #environment, & #GunViolence. But the term’s biggest blockbuster could be a case that not only hasn’t yet been filed, but is still just a concept.

That’s because in the next 3 months, the justices may be asked to inject themselves into the late stages of the #2024election. If presented w/such an opportunity, this could be the term that #SCOTUS elects Donald #Trump.

4 yrs ago, Trump & his allies attempted to overturn his 2020 loss from the WH, while his allies controlled legislatures in the critical states of PA, WI, AZ, & GA, as well as key institutions like the #Wisconsin#SupremeCourt.

Reminder that donating to the Harris campaign through #MastodonForHarris isn't just about the total amount of money raised, it's about the number of donations.

Of course we aren't going to outraise these billionaires, but what all these people who are willing to throw even $5 at this thing are showing the political world is that this is a network full of people who are engaged enough in politics to put our money where our mouth is. You can't say Harris doesn't have any supporters here, nor can you say we are just sitting on the sidelines, when over 100,000 people have given her money.

And you know, if someone is willing to give you $5, they are most definitely going to vote for you. You might even be able to get them to volunteer, or strategize around what this large group is doing.

This is a show of power.

This is proof that, if they give this network a chance, it could be a good place to get support from.

Monmouth University Polling Institute’s director, Patrick Murray: “This is clearly a different ballgame. The nominee change has raised the ceiling for potential #Democratic support in the presidential contest by a small but crucial amount, at least for now.”

Vitalik Buterin, the co-founder of decentralized blockchain Ethereum, has issued a warning to his fellow tech leaders against choosing a candidate purely based on whether they claim to be “pro-crypto.”

While he didn’t name any candidate specifically, his warning comes just one day after prominent venture capitalists Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz announced their support for Trump in the 2024 Presidential elections.

“In a blog post, Buterin said it’s more important to scrutinize a candidate’s broader policies to ensure they support cryptocurrency’s underlying goals, including internationalism and protection for private communications,” reports @Techcrunch Here’s more.
