$49.5m fine for non compliance by social media companies. That should be per day per user. That would force them them to have a duty of care for youngsters and teen-agers.

Julie Inman Grant should be commended for advocating for online safety, but surely it would have been better to legislate a duty of care requirement on the social media companies, like seat belts in cars.

Trump doesn't care about the truth. So far as he is concerned nothing he says can be challenged. He just makes up shit as he goes. MAGA tends to believe everything he says, facts be damned.

My constituent, Wilmer, was mauled by an ICE attack dog despite the fact that, as he has consistently explained, he was not resisting arrest or trying to flee—his wife and young children, all U.S. citizens, were forced to watch helplessly as Wilmer was violently attacked and dragged away.

It is abhorrent that the President just threatened death upon members of Congress.
We must condemn all threats of political violence, especially when they come from someone who has incited a violent attack on the Capitol.

A new paper, "Skewering History: The Odious Politics of Counting Gaza’s Dead" details data of the z1os murdering 680,000 Palestinians.
Including:
• 380k infants < 5
• 99k children > 5
This is actual Dead, once you include those killed by starvation, destroyed hospitals & imposed deprivation.
