Musk turned on a feature on X that showed country of origin.
He disabled it a couple hours later when it was revealed how many MAGA accounts aren't in the U.S.
Foreign bot disinformation machines exposed.
Seems like Twitter could have done that feature 15 years ago & we wouldn't be here today.

I wish people would talk more openly about how administration has impacted their lives. My career ended. I loved what I did. I’m so so depressed and isolated. Most people tell me everything is fine. Why me? What did I do wrong.

And so it begins. Once NIH cuts impact our country, forget new cancer drugs. Fewer doctors will be trained. Antibiotic resistant bacteria will be more prevalent. Deaths in this country will skyrocket. People dug their own grave by voting for this administration.

A surprisingly large # of males expect to get away with bad behavior. Women who call them out are ostracized & called a b***h. Promise that you will make sure she is promoted if you sleep with them. I’m speaking from experience. Even worse are females who support this behavior. It’s appalling!

It would be a useful exercise for Republicans to envision how a future Democratic president might use the spending powers Mr. Trump has claimed for himself….Imagine a Democratic president who allocates money to health insurance subsidies w/o congressional approval.“ www.nytimes.com/2025/11/14/o...

This is so so sad. I did everything right. Submitted my proposal on time in May 2025. Funds run out in April 2026. Government shutdown prevented timely review. Leaving me no choice but to shutdown my lab in April. 😢💔

The largest war ship in the world has been moved to the Caribbean, along with other ships, bombers, amphibious vehicles and more.
That’s a lot of firepower to stop small vessels carrying drugs.
It looks a lot more like preparation for war.
Congress needs to get involved before it’s too late.
