Interesting.

 So the other day Trump blathered about Google:

Trump casually mentioned to Fox’s Maria Bartiromo that “Google has to be careful” because “they’ve been very irresponsible” and that he had “a feeling Google is going to be close to shut down, because I don’t think Congress is going to take it.”

In classic Trump fashion, he said this after noting that Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg had called him after the assassination attempt, and “nobody called from Google.” So it’s tempting to put this down as classic transactional Trump rambling — after all, he was calling Facebook “the enemy of the people” as recently as March as he backtracked on banning TikTok. One phone call and “badass” comment, and you’re back in his good graces, it seems.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaand just now a judge suddenly decides hey you know what fuck you Google? Really?
