My life is a lot like the movie Home Alone. I have fun in my house all day, and there are criminals outside.

so hear me out for a remix… @joycewrice x @DawnRichard on “Until Next Time”.

[Ruth Ben-Ghiat @ruthbenghiat]

I’ve studied propaganda and see the patterns of how authoritarians capture media — and eventually societies — clearly. We are well in that process, which is why the attempted merger of Paramount and Warner brothers is even more alarming.

[Conor Lamb @ConorLambPA]

There were 285 US cases in Biden’s last year, before MAHA. Just six from PA.

‼️ Russia hit Kyiv with 6 ballistic missiles. There was no warning of the launches, no air raid alert. People had no time to reach shelter. The attack is still ongoing.

[Patrick De Haan @GasBuddyGuy]

agreed, many many questions about the deal that go beyond the headlines, but ultimately, agree on the conclusion- this will not meaningfully reduce diesel prices. buying Russian diesel by a country who exports >50 million gallons per day is an abomination

Expedia prohibits hotels from offering better rates on their own websites or other distribution channels, like non-Expedia sites Booking dot com, Priceline, or Agoda.

Then it enforces its scheme by demoting hotels in search results if they violate the policy.

[Lee Hepner @LeeHepner]

Why are hotels so expensive? A new lawsuit alleges that travel website Expedia is rigging the entire market, exploiting its leverage over 80% of all online bookings to inflate hotel prices in every booking channel by 15-30%.

It's an economy-wide price fixing scheme, not unlike what Amazon does to retail. /

Huge drop in Google searches for various health disinformation topics following the Ukrainian strikes on Russian data centers.

It makes you wonder how much of the “turbo cancer, ivermectin” nonsense is really fueled by Russian bots, & how many Americans they’ve killed…

[Rep. Summer Lee @RepSummerLee]

Trump has attacked @Ilhan for years. He is vindictive, hateful, and abusive of power.

This baseless raid was meant to intimidate and silence her and the communities she represents.

Rep. Omar continues to stand on the right side of history, and we’re right there with her.

[Taylor Lorenz @TaylorLorenz]

There's a lot of truth to this

[Citizens for Ethics @CREWcrew]

Last week, we filed a Hatch Act complaint against Stephen Miller.

He can't get away with repeatedly and flagrantly breaking the law.

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Trump is grossly abusing his power to raid the home of Rep. Omar. He has repeatedly attacked her, Somali Americans, and Minnesotans.

@Ilhan has done nothing to justify a pre-dawn raid ahead of the election. I stand with my sister always.

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

Everything about the raid on Rep. Omar’s residence is shameful. Everyone involved should lose their jobs. For a start.

[Ilhan Omar @IlhanMN]

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation.

I will not be silenced.

[Jonathan Nez @NezForAZ]

Today, on Indigenous Peoples’ Day, and every day, we honor the first peoples of these lands and celebrate the rich histories, cultures, and contributions of Tribal Nations.

[EU says Elon should not lie abt my blue check @emptywheel]

One fun thing about @StephenM's targeting of @Ilhan is that she has an OBVIOUS selective prosecution claim given the confessions African immigrant @elonmusk has made about HIS OWN immigration fraud.

[Molly Ploofkins @Mollyploofkins]

If Rep. Ilhan Omar’s citizenship warrants an investigation, then so do Elon Musk’s and Melania Trump’s. The same standard should apply to everyone.

[Show Your Work @showusyourwork]

Going after Ilhan Omar and not, say, Melania Trump or Elon Musk, whose visa abuses were actually public and verifiable

[Reese Gorman @reesejgorman]

The government said 430 trees were removed from East Potomac over the weekend.

Judge: "On what universe did anyone in your office think this was acceptable?"

Government: "Your honor we did our best."

Judge: "No you did not do your best. You did your absolute worst."

[Timothy Snyder @TimothyDSnyder]

When Ukraine destroys Russian data centers, hoards of aggressive right-wing bots disappear, and Twitter becomes much friendlier. Isn’t that interesting? So much of our politics is driven by the internet, and so much of the internet is driven by Russians who want to hurt us. Shouldn’t we do something about that, given that we know it?
