It is kind of wild that no big media outlet has busted open the story of who is making DHS' posts on X. Whoever that may be is certainly plugged into hardcore white supremacist internet propaganda with a harder edge. "Groyper" would be underselling it. This is Daily Stormer-tier sludge.

This should be the first thing Trump is impeached for. Easy to prove and easy for the public to understand.
If this is true, it is the most impeachable offense ever.

Fox: Americans are still feeling the pinch. Our latest poll shows more Americans feel like they're falling behind compared to the middle of this year. 86% of voters are concerned with the cost of health care. That concern level, by the way, is going up.

The networks were afraid not to run Trump because they assumed he would use his office to punish them if they didn’t. The irony is that this is what Biden was warning about, a warning they chose not to share with America.
You'll remember that when Biden delivered an address in 2022, networks refused to air it because they said it was "political" www.washingtonpost.com/media/2022/0...
As Biden warned about democracy’s collapse, TV networks aired reruns
Broadcasters NBC, CBS and ABC usually air presidential prime-time addresses live. But they found Biden's Philadelphia speech more "political" than newsworthy.

Turns out the deal Trump bragged about, the one where China would buy 12 million metric tons of US soybeans by year end, was never an actual deal.

"These fake personas, posing as enthusiastic American Trump supporters, told U.S. voters to “vote for Trump in 2024” while the actual women depicted (from countries like Denmark, the Netherlands, and even Russia) had no idea their images were being misused."
X rolled out a new feature that accidentally exposed a massive covert foreign influence operation — more than one, actually — that is currently live on the platform. It’s a huge story and I wrote about it — and what it means for America — here:

I talked to Sen Gary Peters about his investigation into DOGE’s handling of our Social Security data. It's CRAZY. If you haven’t read the report, do.
TLDR? It’s very likely that DOGE uploaded all of our most private Social Security data to an insecure cloud server. Nobody knows who can access it.

This is blatantly, undeniably true and has been for a long time, and it is cooking people's brains to hang out there and think it's not true. Regardless of if you like this place as an alternative or not. Musk puts his thumb heavily on the scale because your feed there is his personal plaything.
If you're trying to convince your friends to spend time on Bluesky rather than X, maybe show them this. X is not "the public town square" or about "free speech." It's "just what Elon Musk wants you to see." If you see stuff he doesn't like he'll step in to make sure you don't see it for long.
If you scroll on X, you are only being shown what Elon wants you to see. If you create content on X, no one will see it unless Elon wants them to.

It sounds like what Republicans want is a single payer universal healthcare system with no insurance companies. All it took was a government shutdown to get them to take that position?
