Nothing to be scared of here in political terms. One of the least popular presidents is now even less popular than he was in his first term. People need to come out from under rocks.

“We broke up with him first. We quit Twitter in 2022 when he was only half a Nazi.
Then someone else took our handle, pretending to be our official account, so we filed a legal complaint to put a stop to that—which is why @dropkickmurphys shows as suspended."

Forbes, Mediaite, NewsNation, Variety, Patriot Ledger, Pittsburgh Post Gazette and Billboard will need to delete or retract their stories soon, but like, what's going on? Why is news so broken? Why do people have such off instincts and bad prior bias? Why doesn't anyone do their jobs lol
You can see here on the Internet Archive the Dropkick Murphy's account was suspended back to June 2024.
I am again begging staff reporters to learn basic X tech literacy stuff. Did anyone reach out to the band? Unverified online rumors are not a good news source.

BREAKING: By a 5-4 vote, the Supreme Court LIFTS its hold on a lower court order compelling the Trump administration to resume nearly $2 billion in foreign aid funding. The funds MUST be disbursed. Roberts and Barrett join the liberals.

Senator Andy Kim just went to the USAID building, talked to the security guard there to confirm employees are being barred entry, and then did a press gaggle right there in front to call it out.
This is doing something. This is making an effort on messaging. Other Democratic lawmakers: take notes.

Hi that was a coup last night in case no one mentioned that to you. The executive branch seized the power of the purse the Constitution gave to Congress, which is a pretty authoritarian / illegal consolidation of powers move. Time to go yell at your reps, the media, etc.

The White House has to "check back" about whether or not they just shut off the program that funds health care for 2 million Arizonans?
I can tell you the answer: Arizona's Medicaid payment portal has been turned off.
This is absurd.
