Musk is actively working to discredit our movement. We raised legitimate concerns about the threat of SSA phone line cancellations—yet now they’re dismissing it as misinformation. This follows a clear pattern of deception.

1/4. Ukraine has proposed a ceasefire without conditions. Russia will almost certainly reject this and try to dictate to Witkoff that the US help Russia achieve colonial control of Ukraine, something that Russia could never achieve on its own.

Can we stop talking throwing around words like "autocracy" and "oligarchy" when talking about America's uncertain future? According to history, political experts, and a little-known book called "a dictionary," America is ALREADY in the throes of fascism.

"The idea that we should live in a country where Marco Rubio can remove a Green Card holder because he doesn't like his views and they're against 'US foreign policy'... that's outrageous. And there was a time when the Republican Party would have been against that, but not today."

As Marc Elias, an elections lawyer who litigates on behalf of Democrats, told me, “When Donald Trump says that he does not believe there should be voting machines, you should believe him. When he says there should only be voting on Election Day, you should believe him.”

1. An aside: A difficult thing to do in stories like this is not overly adopt the language of the subject. Renn, like many evangelicals, uses the word “Christians” when he’s primarily referring to Christians like himself, and using “traditional” when that’s a disputed claim as well.
