| While the hand-wringing continues at Democratic headquarters over Joe Biden's shockingly feeble debate, Republicans are speeding toward the convention with major questions of their own. The GOP may know who their nominee will be, but not what their party will represent. In a major departure from past years, news broke over the weekend that the Trump team is trying to "streamline" the platform, telling delegates that it should be short, clear, and concise - code, some worry, for leaving core principles behind. |

| SCOTUS Vacates Rulings on Laws Banning Social Media Censorship of Conservatives |
| by Michael Gryboski |
| The U.S. Supreme Court has declined to rule on state laws holding social media platforms accountable for censoring political or unpopular opinions from users. In a unanimous decision released Monday morning, the high court vacated the rulings in the cases of NetChoice v. Moody and NetChoice v. Paxton, which centered on laws passed in Florida and Texas. Despite passing in 2021, the laws still have yet to go into effect while the litigation continues. |
