A California man is suing Twitter and two progressive congresswomen in connection with President Donald Trump's suspension from the social media platform, citing "overbearing pain and suffering."
In the complaint filed in a U.S. District Court in California on Tuesday, Erik Estavillo argued that he and every "follower that was, without a doubt, emotionally and mentally damaged as a result of the Presidents' ban" is entitled to $88.7 million each.
Estavillo, who is representing himself, is also seeking the reinstatement of Trump's account and a retaliatory Twitter ban on Representatives Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Ilhan Omar, who, he argues, promote "Eastern communist philosophies."
The plaintiff claims that because of various health problems, including depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder and Crohn's syndrome, Estavillo has "no friends" and can rarely leave the house. As a result, the complaint says, he heavily relies on Twitter to participate in political discourse.
"The Americans with Disabilities Act should protect him from such egregious behavior on the part of Twitter," the lawsuit reads. "He has nowhere else to voice his first amendment rights to free speech."

(CNN)Justice Department prosecutors have formally walked back their assertion in a court filing that said Capitol rioters sought to "capture and assassinate elected officials."
A federal prosecutor in Arizona asked a magistrate judge in a hearing on Friday to strike the line in a recent court filing about defendant Jacob Anthony Chansley, a man who is alleged to have led some in the crowd in the first wave into the Capitol with a bullhorn while carrying a spear and wearing a fur headdress.
The entire line the prosecutors want to omit from their court filing is: "Strong evidence, including Chansley's own words and actions at the Capitol, supports that the intent of the Capitol rioters was to capture and assassinate elected officials in the United States Government."
The stunning move comes a few hours after Michael Sherwin, the acting US attorney in Washington, DC, said at a press conference there was "no direct evidence of kill and capture teams" at this time in the siege of the Capitol building.

No standing. Nobody has standing anymore. The courts are no longer necessary. The courts don’t even have standing.
When?
I’ve thought that lawsuits would be a good approach to countering all of this censorship...
(I don’t see why a few huge class-actions couldn’t be mounted against the tech giants.)
Latches........
i dont know what is going on...saw it on 4chan
maybe it is another account that was opened up
Millions more people should do the same thing ,LOL
AOC is addicted to Atwitter LOL
The lawsuit is frivolous on its face and will be dismissed within 90 days.
You can’t sue an elected official even if you can prove their statements caused a private entity to exercise its discretion to discontinue a business relationship with someone.
Otherwise, Kapernick could sue PDJT for loss of his multi-million dollar contract.
They’re fouls beasts - twitter fakebook insta-crap...
Most foul.
These dumb bastards don’t know you can’t successfully sue a Congressman.
Oh, you can file the suit. But it will be dismissed at the first level of the courts. And no other level will pick it up.
Sovereign and Qualified immunity is their coin.
Yea, yea yea.... no standing.
That’s seems to be the pat answer from the judiciary these days.
Mustn’t get out hair mussed.
You’re probably right though, but still.......
Regardless, it’s good to see blowback in whatever form.
I'd be willing to settle for $88.6 million, maybe $88.5.
Exactly!!! Lawfare must be a part of our warfare.
The rats have used lawfare with great results- don’t want to bake a cake the way we tell you? We’ll sue your butts off...time to turn the tables on them.
SUE THEM AT EVERY SINGLE TURN!!!
