I just gave you two sources other than timesnownews
They have already demanded a halt.
If they don't, they can stop the activity but it will require getting a judge to issue a restraining order or an injunction.
The DoJ generally can't stop someone unilaterally. Even when they arrest someone, that person is immediately brought before a judge (habeas corpus) who decides whether they can go free before trial.
Yes, that's how prosecutions work.
When someone is murdered, they don't put three people on trial and say "One of these must be the killer, but we can't figure out who. So we'll have to send them all to prison".
But in this case, they do have another choice: prosecute the corporation instead of individuals.
The board is not collectively punished for the actions of a corporation. Prosecutors have to prove which individuals (if any) are criminally responsible, and often that's more difficult than proving that the corporation is responsible.
The Justice Department warned Elon Musk’s America PAC
They can't arrest a PAC.
She is going to Michigan literally the day after the Texas visit.
Where she will be joined, for the first time, by Michelle Obama.
When salts dissolve in water, the resulting ions are surrounded by layer of water molecules known as a "solvation shell". Water molecules are polar, so they are attracted to ions for the same reason ions attract each other. Dissolved ions can travel through water freely but will remain surrounded by the solvation shell until something else binds to the ion.
So it's fair to say that a dissolved ion is more attracted to water molecules than to salt molecules. When a salt precipitates, the opposite is true.
Finally, a mixture of dissolved salts has the properties of its ions but no "memory" of the original salts. In other words, if you mix a solution of NaCl with a solution of KNO3, the result is the same as mixing solutions of NaNO3 and KCl.
EDIT
Bonus trivia: solvation shells are critical to how your neurons and muscle cells send electrical signals. Cellular electrical currents are carried by ions, including Na+ and K+. Cells need to distinguish those ions. How? The K+ solvation shell is larger than that of Na+. So cells conduct Na+ with pores that allow Na+ through but are too small for K+.
But what about selectively conducting K+? For that, the ion enters a ring that is the same size as the K+ solvation shell. The ring simultaneously grabs and rips off all the water molecules, so the K+ ion can pass through a tiny pore without its solvation shell. The Na+ solvation shell is too small for the ring, so the solvation shell cannot be grabbed and ripped off. Thus the Na+ ion cannot get through the tiny pore.
I don't know.
If you posted on Lemmy, "Hey, America PAC is offering money to registered voters, go check it out!" then I think that would be protected speech. If so, it would be equally protected when Musk posts that on X.
America PAC is on the hook, not necessarily their shills.
