Dissolving the provision would reassign legal responsibility to websites and third parties, empowering a Trump-helmed federal #government to force #online platforms to stifle, or promote, certain speech. While the ostensible purpose of the repeal, according to Durbin, is to “protect kids online,” it’s far more likely to give the Trump #WhiteHouse carte blanche to advance its ultra-reactionary political #agenda.

#Mississippi #governor signs typo tax overhaul bill into #law to phase out income #tax

source: apnews.com/us-news/taxes-tate-…

#Senators last week had conceded to eliminate the income tax, but only with economic growth “triggers” as safeguards — the tax wouldn’t phase out unless the state saw robust economic growth and controlled spending. It would have likely taken many years.

Or so they thought. The Senate bill had typos that essentially nullified the growth triggers and would eliminate the income tax nearly as quickly as the House proposed. The House passed the flawed bill on to the governor, who signed it into law Thursday.

Musk Doesn't Pay Up!

A federal lawsuit filed Tuesday in Pennsylvania accuses billionaire Elon Musk and the political action committee he started of failing to pay a suburban Philadelphia man more than $20,000 for getting people to sign a petition in favor of free speech and gun rights.

The lawsuit seeking class-action status claims the man received hourly pay for canvassing, but that he was not fully paid for the petition referrals

“We should not wait until April 11, when it will be a month since Russia said “no” to the American proposal for a ceasefire.”
