If I’m understanding this correctly, X is owned by a white nationalist who pays poor people of color in developing countries to pretend to be working class white Americans to scare other white Americans into being afraid poor people of color from developing countries are going to ruin America?

Trump's economy is being held up by a massive AI bubble.
A recent study found that of 300 companies that owned generative AI tools, 95% reported zero return on their investments.
We will not entertain a bailout of these companies should this bubble pop.

“The fact that a governmental body can redact more than 1,000 pages of documents that are directly related to a major business’s activities in Texas is certainly problematic,” said Reid Pillifant, an attorney specializing in public records and media law.

Abbott fought for months to keep secret emails between his office and Elon Musk. Now, hundreds of pages have been released.

Doing a breakdown of all the ICE detention facilities in the U.S. and it turns out they're almost all privately-owned, and all by the same three companies.

The Senate proposal, which could greatly affect outdoor recreation in the West, is facing strong pushback from conservationists, Democrats and MAGA supporters.

This is another friendly reminder that we had a multinational nuclear agreement with Iran that took years of careful diplomacy to forge during the Obama admin. DJT discarded it at the start of his first term, & has been scrambling ever since to try to forge the exact same agreement, with no success.

This is a friendly reminder that there is no "insurrection" in LA. There is no "chaos and discord." This is a lie invented by the president, and repeated by 24-hour TV news media, ad nauseam, to justify sending the US military to occupy American cities. Fascism 101.
