Trump allies are quietly buying up the information space.

They own most social media platforms and will soon own a massive chunk of traditional television networks.

Handing the entire public discourse over to a few partisan billionaires is incredibly dangerous

There is absolutely no reason for Sam Altman to say anything but he is currently digging the biggest hole possible, responding to all and sundry on Twitter. This is the worst possible statement he could have given!

“If Kamala wins, only death and destruction await because she is the candidate of endless wars. I am the candidate of peace. I am peace.” - Trump, 11/1/24

This draft Trump EO on voting is even nuttier than you imagined. Zeroing out all voter rolls and making everyone re-register in person. Mandatory annual online re-registration. Requiring anyone casting an absentee ballot to find a notary. No dropboxes. All post-election disputes federalized. 😟

Elon Musk posted about race almost every day in January Many social media posts by Tesla CEO on his platform are indiscernible from those of white supremacists, say experts

He's a white nationalist. He promotes Nazi conspiracies and is obsessed with saving the white birth rate.

What more do people need to hear or see?

Election denier involved in fake electors plot wrote much of SAVE America Act, Trump-aligned think tank claims “I’m here to do everything I can to make this work,” Thomas Lane wrote in a December 2020 email to other organizers of the Trump campaign’s fake electoral plot in Arizona.

🚨BREAKING: An election-denying former Donald Trump campaign staffer who was subpoenaed by the FBI over his role in the attempt to steal the 2020 election is now taking credit for writing the sweeping voter suppression bill passed by the House Wednesday that could disenfranchise millions.

The denaturalization project, no matter how it is cloaked in law, is inherently a politically targeted abuse of power until they go after the single most prominent case of naturalization fraud in the country: Elon Musk obtaining his citizenship by lying about his prior immigration status violations.

Dems need to demand Miller's removal as a condition of funding for DHS past the 2-week CR. There are two weeks for them to plaster this judge's ruling into their public statements, constituent newsletters, TV hits, and more.

Judge Biery signed the order with a photo of Liam and two bible verses: The first is "But Jesus said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven." The second is simply "Jesus wept."

Astonishing thing for a judge to do.

Or how about this headline — “American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.

KEEP CALLING YOUR SENATORS‼️

If you haven’t called yet — Please 🙏🏼 do so

Bovino got ousted and there are calls to impeach Noem, yes — but that’s not enough. They’re just being replaced.

Our Senators need to hear your voice‼️
DO NOT FUND DHS\ICE

These guys weren’t fired they were relocated.👇🏼

This can’t be repeated enough. Not only won’t they investigate, they may never even tell us who did this.

Think about the message that sends to the next ones. Nobody is safe.
