If “cold-blooded” was a human… Nothing screams “patriotism” like cosplaying as ICE to terrorize immigrants. It’s pure cruelty, and CPAC is out here cheering for harassment like it’s a game. F*ck this dude!!!

Days ago, DOJ claimed that Musk “only has the ability to advise the President, or communicate the President’s directives.” But if Musk’s tweet & OPM’s subsequent email communicated a “directive” of the president, why are agencies advising non-compliance….?

If any of our former NATO or Five Eyes allies have intelligence data and assessments, which surely they must, about the background of the leader of their new strategic adversary, the United States, now is as good a time as any to release them, subject to protection of methods and sources, of course.

Ukraine can destroy Putin’s war machine, and Putin knows it. Putin can not win this war. Putin is losing this war. Which is why “Mr Putin believes Mr Trump is not just impatient, but open to manipulation, and he is playing him like a fiddle.” archive.ph/9YiJ2 1/10

“The UK didn’t have a general election for 10 years because of WW2 - that doesn’t make Winston Churchill a dictator. Zelensky has not banned opposition parties - just the ones openly pro-Russian, just like we banned the fascist party when Hitler was bombing the shit out of us on the nightly basis.”

Elon Musk says he's going to "fix" X's community notes system because he disagrees with a note on President Trump's claim that Zelensky has a 4% approval rating in Ukraine. Musk also claims community notes are "being gamed by governments & legacy media", but provides no evidence for that claim.

The DOGE firings have nothing to do with “efficiency” or “cutting waste.” They’re a direct push to weaken federal agencies perceived as liberal. This was evident from the start, and now the data confirms it: targeted agencies overwhelmingly those seen as more left-leaning. 🧵⬇️

Imagine having power over the most militarily and economically powerful nation of the world and using it to force ad agencies to buy ads on Twitter. So low it bounced off the Earth's core. It turns out that no, no media publication has covered ad tech enough. www.wsj.com/business/med...

The study was conducted by a biometric ID vendor with a vested interest in exaggerating the deepfake threat. Full methods and results are not available, but the reported 0.1% appears to refer to people who correctly classified all of an undisclosed and possibly v high number of real and fake items

Trump cowers and fears Putin while Zelensky is a man of courage who fights back. President Zelensky’s approval rate is 57%. Trump’s approval is 44% and dropping. You tell me whose country needs an election.

Trump lying about the causes of war, reversing decades of Russia policy and throwing former allies and adherence to rules under the bus. If Congress doesn’t push back now then it never will. What an absolute disgrace ↘️
