What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

I cannot tell you how many things Trump is saying that were long ago debunked in every single major-media publication but that he is saying tonight because he thinks they sound good and he knows that the people he is actually trying to speak to literally never watch the news, only his speeches

“This isn’t panic. It’s resignation. The markets are finally in the process of pricing in the Trump administration. They’re coming to grips with the fact that tariffs are real, chaos is total, austerity is biting, inflation is rising, and growth?” @jvl.bsky.social

Great follow @chicky-little.bsky.social a Savanna legacy
Most journalists worth their salt I know have left Twitter. It's never been a great engagement tool, and the value as far as sourcing has fallen off a cliff.

The actual reason people stay, fmpov: People have addictions and are afraid to leave substantial followings.
Interesting tidbit from U.S. Rep. Jayapal’s town hall this week:

“I’ve really wanted to get off Twitter, but my staff tells me I can’t because I have half a million followers and journalists still pay a lot of attention to this social media”

“Join bluesky!” several audience members yelled.

My one wish for the inauguration is that there is a gift bag under the seats of Bezos, Zuck, Elon etc, with a single, embroidered , padded knee pad

Need to protect themselves when they are on bended knee, kissing the ring 🤷😆

What’s the difference between a gov controlling an algorithm, silently eliminating reach for things it doesn’t like, vs the same gov using its power, to demand that the platform remove the things it doesn’t like.?

In China they are overt. With TikTok in the US, they control silently
