☆ The Amazon Antitrust Lawsuit Is Likely to Be a Long and Arduous Journey for the FTC

That same year, Amazon unsuccessfully sought to get her recused from agency probes against the company, arguing she was too biased. The District of Columbia also tried to sue Amazon on antitrust grounds before, but its lawsuit was dismissed by a federal judge last year. Experts say the FTC faces a few hurdles in its own case, including convincing the court which slice of the market Amazon is allegedly monopolizing. In a blog post responding to the lawsuit, Amazon General Counsel David Zapolsky accused the FTC of attempting to “gerrymander alleged market” to portray Amazon as something it’s not. The FTC also alleges Amazon keeps sellers dependent on services that have allowed it to collect billions in revenue every year.

☆ Fact Check-New York Gov. Kathy Hochul not authorized to fill potential vacancy if Rep. George Santos steps down
  + stars: | 2023-05-16 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com   time to read: +3 min
The House Vacancies Clause in the U.S. Constitution can be seen (here). New York state law requires the governor to call a special election within 10 days of a House vacancy (see subdivision three) (here). “Hochul has no power to replace Santos,” said Derek Muller, an election law expert at the University of Iowa College of Law (here). “If Santos resigns, it depends on when he resigns as to whether there will be a special election before the next general election to fill his vacancy,” he said. “Hochul must announce within 10 days, and the special election must take place within 70 to 80 days, but not if the vacancy occurs after July 1, 2024.”VERDICTMisleading.

☆ Arizona early voting marred by ballot box intimidation. Courts needs to intervene.

First Amendment rights do not extend to threats of violence and voter intimidation. A great deal of the attention has been on ballot drop boxes. There has been no indication of any widespread fraud through the use of ballot drop boxes. Nonetheless, conspiracy theories about the drop boxes have continued to circulate, fueled in part by a widely debunked film by Dinesh D’Souza, “2000 Mules,” which uses false and unproven claims to try to show drop boxes being used for fraud. Reporting by NBC News shows that ballot drop box conspiracies have flooded Trump’s social media website, Truth Social, and that has led to organizing on the ground, including in places like Arizona.
