@realDailyWire I tried to read this on my preferred browser that blocks third party incursions —- it blocked 12 then shut it down. You’re stealing data from everyone who tries to read the article. I wanted to learn another point of view, but I didn’t want to give you access to my information

@RepLaMonica There’s something deeply disturbing about LL. The awful surgery making her look like a monster and her ugly assaults on everything decent with such open racism against Black women and just about everyone else…then there was her weird attraction to the orange blob-ewwwwwwwww!!!!!

Another study confirms the mechanism:
Elon Musk stole the 2024 election—using targeted algorithms.

The experiment was conducted in 2023, when Musk was still early in his Twitter Nazification project.

“Switching from a chronological to an algorithmic feed increased engagement and shifted political opinion towards more conservative positions, particularly regarding policy priorities, perceptions of criminal investigations into Donald Trump and views on the war in Ukraine.”

Crucially, the effect did not disappear when the user switched back, because they had already followed new accounts which reinforced their beliefs.

No mainstream media covered this study when it was published in February.

It’s unconscionable that we still neglect the single most important ingredient of our national chaos—psychological warfare, both foreign and domestic.

If taxpayers are going to pay to build a stadium, then the taxpayers should own the stadium.

You can’t socialize the cost, then privatize the profits.

MUSK UNMASKED: “Insane a person this chaotic has so much power… if you wanted to corrupt the midterms and use AI, what DOGE did looked just like what you would do…”

After our trip to the Gaza-Egypt border last year, @SenJeffMerkley & I released a report entitled, "The Netanyahu Government is Implementing a Plan to Ethnically Cleanse Gaza of Palestinians."

Now the Israeli Min of Defense confirmed that's the goal.

We must end our complicity.

[The Hollywood Reporter @THR]

Elon Musk documentary, ‘Musk,’ contends that his four-month stint in Washington last year did more than gleefully ax 270,000 federal employees and untold billions in life-saving aid.

Director Alex Gibney suggests that Musk also had access to and potentially collected intimate data on tens of millions of Americans possibly even for later political use.

Geoffrey Hinton, the Nobel-prize-winning godfather of AI, offers a specific use case: leveraging the data into an unfair campaign advantage. “It’s fairly clear to me that Trump is hell-bent on corrupting the midterm elections,” he says onscreen. “If you wanted to corrupt those midterm elections and you wanted to use AI, all you needed to do was get detailed information on U.S. citizens. And what DOGE did looked like just what you would do.”

Hi @JGreenblattADL and @ADL, I’ll ask again: do you endorse this brazen anti-Muslim bigotry at the Jewish summit in LA that the ADL sponsored and spoke at? If not, have you disowned and condemned it? Will you be sponsoring such racist events going toward?

Please let us know.

[Rep. Jamie Raskin @RepRaskin]

House Republicans are absurdly trying to cement their stacked and packed MAGA Supreme Court majority into the Constitution and strip away yet another basic power the Framers gave to Congress. After sycophantically surrendering to Donald Trump our war powers, spending powers, tariff powers, and powers over federal buildings, to name a few, now they want to give up a power we have had since the Republic was founded: the power to decide how many Justices will be on the Supreme Court. We have exercised this power seven times in our history, with the Court having as many as 10 Justices and as few as six. I will vote against this radical measure abdicating a power assigned to us by the Framers simply to please a would-be king.

@RossKneeDeep Yes they’re working for us; however, due to our tradition and history of supporting Israel they’re finding it hard to disengage even as Netanyahu becomes a war criminal and Israel à genocidal country.

Blair travelled to Israel in mid-August with Jared Kushner and the high representative for Gaza, Nickolay Mladenov. The trio then travelled to Cairo for meetings with a Palestinian technocratic group and members of Hamas.

The BBC has compiled evidence of 160+ Palestinian children deliberately shot in the head by Israeli snipers in Gaza.

The reports state: "Israeli Jews are hunting children for sport."
