Sitting here watching ANG airlifting supplies around the region in advance of the storm, it’s pretty wild.

Question: in the probable event (since he’s said it on the campaign trail repeatedly) that trumpy bear decides to withhold federal aid from California, what can California actually do in response?

iirc, basically the most they can do short of seceding is kick the military out.

Entirely possible I’m wrong on that.

ByteDance's appeal to the Supreme Court really, really, really didn't go well for them. A 9-0 ruling against them is seriously on the table, just because of the court's deference to the national security argument made in the law banning it. So, ByteDance is listening to and/or soliciting pitches about selling TikTok when they weren't before.

Lots of clusterfucky things could still happen, since shutdown is mandated for the 19th, but a president could do a 60/90 day single time extender if a potential sale is in the works. And TikTok won't outright disappear, but connections to any US user would be killed off. That's led to comedic outcomes of randos learning about VPNs and spite-downloading the Chinese RedNote as an alternative.

The other thing to remember is that the majority of “creators” post across multiple platforms, so it’s not like the content is going anywhere.
