Is the headline some weird example of “republicans pounce”? Is the story about the Koch brothers lawsuit or about the fact that the government installed spyware on citizen’s phones without their knowledge or consent?

It’s kind of both? The fact that the previous litigation of this group was to allow landlords to evict tenants during lockdown is more than interesting. And the fact that the state thought it would be OK to force install the app is interesting too

  It’s not kinda both. It’s the equivalent of scary quotes. By framing this as Koch funded, anti Koch people already made their decision and grabbed their pitch forks without reading anything past the headline.

  >was to allow landlords to evict tenants during lockdown Framing is everything, y'know? You could just as easily call it a lawsuit to stop a blatant and unconstitutional power grab by the CDC.

    Indeed, ends vs the means. People who think one or the other is more important will talk right past each other, never see eye to eye.
