Zelenskyy: "When our strikes reached Yandex data centers, it suddenly became little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. Many people noticed it.
There was less hate, less division, fewer provocations because there were fewer bots. It's pretty clear where those bots were coming from.
If they disappeared when Yandex went offline, this proves once again that Europe is not the source of the problems."
The big problem is that Russia figured out how modern society consumes information a decade ago, but the West hasn't.
There are millions of bots commenting and posting Russian propaganda. There are paid influencers spreading it, with Russian bots supporting their content.
There is a gigantic machine operating to radicalize and influence Western societies, and there is not enough defense in place.
It doesn't just influence elections, it sows discord, engulfs societies in culture wars, radicalizes teenagers, and shapes political decisions when elected officials fail to read the room.
That needs to change. And fast.
Witch hats interest check!
Each hat has its own lil theme, from Moon Jellyfish and Water Lily Fairy to Fox, Shark, Dove, Seraphim, Autumn Leaves, and Mushroom Stump. We wanted to make each hat as whimsical and fantastical as we possibly could!!
QOTD: Which witch hat is YOUR fave? You can pick multiple!! This feedback is very important so we know which style(s) to release and which to not!! 🫶
Yes - you do use an ID to vote in Congress..
With:
* A free ID paid for by the government.
* That they make sure you have received.
* In a voter roll you are automatically on and not purged from when eligible.
* With processes to manage your vote if you forget /lose your ID.
If you want mandatory voter ID, then include those kinds of provisions.
Otherwise you're just trying to make voter suppression easier.
Pam Bondi loses her shit when asked “how many co-conspirators have you indicted?”
The answer is zero!
He then said:
“Your DOJ fired the lead prosecutor on the case, you sat on evidence this entire time and claimed false last July that there were no more leads.
It took an act of Congress for you to finally release part of the Epstein files and when you did, you included personal information about the victims while redacting the names of the abusers.
None of the perpetrators have been brought to justice but enormous resources (in audible) … but it’s clear under your leadership the Department of Justice no longer works for the American people… it works for Donald Trump.”
She thinks everyone should be paying attention to the DOW and how well the stock market is doing. She thinks that is more important.
@PatrickHeizer The one thing I like about it is that it allows me to constantly shuffle my team around without grinding. I wish it were still toggle-able though. That was the real correct setup.
Let me correct this MAGA revisionist history on immigration.
Claim: "Democrats blocked border security"
Reality: Complete nonsense. Here's what actually happened:
1. Biden kept Trump's policies in place
Maintained Title 42 (COVID expulsion policy) for over a year
Continued "Remain in Mexico" under court order Increased border enforcement funding
Kept restrictive asylum processing
Democrats didn't "open the border" - they kept most Trump-era restrictions active. This is documented fact.
2. Republicans blocked EVERY reform attempt
2013: Bipartisan "Gang of Eight" comprehensive immigration reform bill
Passed Senate 68-32
$46 billion for border security
Path to citizenship for undocumented immigrants
Republican House killed it
2021-2023: Multiple bipartisan attempts
All blocked by Republicans in Congress
Zero willingness to negotiate
2024: The smoking gun
Senator James Lankford (R-OK) - one of the most conservative senators - negotiated a TOUGH bipartisan border bill:
$20 billion for border security
Asylum restrictions
More agents and infrastructure
Everything Republicans claimed they wanted
Trump publicly opposed it. Why? He didn't want Biden to "get a win" before the election.
Republicans killed it IMMEDIATELY.
This is on-record, documented fact. Trump literally told them to block border security so he could campaign on it.
3. The pattern is clear
Republicans don't want immigration reform. They want the ISSUE.
Reform passes? Biden gets credit
Problem persists? They can campaign on it
So, they block solutions, then blame Democrats for the problem they refuse to fix.
This is MAGA playbook 101:
1. Block governance
2. Blame Democrats for chaos
3. Campaign on the chaos you created
4. Repeat
I support border security. But I also support HONESTY.
The facts are clear: Democrats tried to govern. Republicans chose obstruction because Trump told them to.
Anyone claiming otherwise is either ignorant of the facts or lying. Pick one.
