Summary

Donald Trump has amended his lawsuit against CBS, doubling the damages sought to $20 billion.

He also added Texas Congressman Ronny Jackson, his former White House doctor, as a co-plaintiff to keep the suit before a Trump-appointed judge in Texas.

He claims CBS deceptively edited Kamala Harris’ “60 Minutes” interview to make her appear more coherent, allegedly influencing the 2024 election and harming his Truth Social platform.

Filed in Texas, the suit alleges violations of the Lanham Act and Texas consumer protection laws.

CBS argues that the Lanham Act and Texas statute only govern commercial speech, not political or editorial speech, and has moved to dismiss the lawsuit.

    My point is:

    No one asks if Kamala regrets all her rightwing moves that allowed trump to beat her.

    Maybe because this is one of the few times it’s personally bad for her?

      Because no one is asking her anything. No one wants her to run again, no one is rallying behind her

      She ran as basically “generic Democrat”. She doesn’t have the ideology of Bernie, she doesn’t have the relevance of Obama or Biden, and by the end of the campaign she toned down the cutting responses that made Trump look weak and stupid - that could have at least made her part of the conversation

      She’s not being let off the hook, she’s been cut out of the picture
