The Supreme Court declined to hear an appeal from Elon Musk’s X Corp. claiming special counsel Jack Smith violated the First Amendment when he obtained a search warrant for former President Trump’s Twitter messages & then barred the company from disclosing it.

Anti-Abortion conservatives are so lost, they cheer when the chest burster Alien comes out, despite it killing the "mother" in the process and causing a panic

So weird

Also at the Rally, Elon Mush called himself Ultra MAGA

And Trump said "WE are going to mars at the end of his term"

Which would be news to all the Orbiters, probes and rovers already there.

good news!

Trump got flipped off on camera during his Butler Rally

Trump and Vance have a new phrase for national abortion ban, which is “national minimum standard.” That’s just an #abortion ban. They’re using it to claim Trump doesn’t support an abortion ban when he does, and much of the media is trying to help sell it for them

They sell it by saying they want exceptions.. that can never be proven

they want to ban interstate travel for abortion via Comstock act

they want a national Abortion ban

Typical conservative

Misinformation is a great propaganda tool to use and get people riled up

It isn't useful during an emergency and affects relief efforts

Maybe call it out directly and get Law Enforcement involved? And start holding social media companies accountable for spreading misinformation

There is a large overlap in the Venn diagram for the number of people who are going to be able to vote in a presidential election for the first time, and also were born after 9/11

also it has been over 8 years since anyone not named Trump Dominated the Republican Presidential Race. GWB isn't even involved in politics anymore. Regan might as well be a fictional character

I hope those kids understand how close America is to falling into fascism

I bet #SCOTUS would have ruled Trump's speech at the Ellipse on #jan6th would have been an official act if "Hail to the chief" was played instead of *checks notes* Y.M.C.A. by the Village people

Also a reminder. When Tina Peters spent a night in jail when she was indicted for 10 counts of attempting to tamper with county voting machines. She complained on Steve Bannon's show how horrible the food, lighting, mattresses, and cellmates were in county jail

i hope she is miserable now, as well as Steve Bannon who still has a few weeks left on his contempt sentence
