@Keir_Starmer No, it is you with whom I am angry, Prime Minister. Disgusted, frankly. But also deeply disappointed. I had hoped you would show some vision, some leadership. But instead you drift toward a dismal corner of the political spectrum to please a minority of voters. You offer nothing.

@elonmusk How about we get the transparency you promised? A log of the adjustments made to the algorithm over the past 12 months?

You've created your own echo chamber. Blue ticks drowning out liberal voices with abuse and alternative facts.

You don't pay to be heard in the town square.

@LeMasterPlan @GregTSargent You give voters too much and too little credit. They remember Dems had control but don’t also remember that control was knife edge and two senators blocked it. More likely they simply didn’t feel the benefits they might have done.

@Michael_Wgd @DavidLammy Personally I would favour the term fascist as Nazi is too historically specific. He does seem to believe in genetic supremacy though, and very likely racial, but his animus is not aimed at jews. Hope that helps.

@AllyFogg Dunno about the panic. Didn't read anything about that. Didn't Trump and Vance do theirs in the last week too, or were they recorded earlier and broadcast in the last week?

[Richard Parkin @unreceived]

@AllyFogg Ally, I read that Harris proposed one hour, Rogan wanted three, and it was no deal. This was in the last week of the campaign.

@MontrealHicham @KenRoth @elonmusk Quite. Il capo talked big about the pubic town square and free speech, then pivoted to proganda, misinformation, and throttling engagement for voices that oppose him. It only remains significant if enough people are here and not elsewhere. Withdraw.

@RufusTSuperfly Schwing!

[Richard Parkin @unreceived]

@AbeGreenwald It is certainly the case that Trump voters are likely to believe demonstrably untrue assertions such as 'Kamal can't speak a full sentence off a teleprompter.'

@TheAndrewNadeau if God's underwriting your dental cover, then yeah, okay. Me, I'm not so lucky.

@4confusedemoji @dawnlightmelody “Some people are aliens.”
Interesting premise. Or is it a conclusion?

@BrotherVonDoom @whstancil Someone as fundamentally crooked as DJT is a challenge to democracy—indeed, his supporters have very little interest in it—because if the evidence is sufficient to indict and the crime non-trivial, ‘the People’ cannot let it slide simply because he insists on running for office.

@RashidKhan1515 @kaitlancollins the broader perspective is despite GOP control of Congress, all he managed to achieve in terms of legislation was tax cuts, principally for the wealthy, and the SC justices delivered by McConnell

@realpeteyb123 LOL, she will go and do the research and vote for Harris.

@ThomasMill15925 @real_defender @IAPolls2022 last time being 2022, with the predicted red wave failing to emerge

[Richard Parkin @unreceived]

@real_defender @IAPolls2022 the fact that Trump outperformed the polls in the last two GE's has spooked the polling outfits: they don't want to get it wrong again and have weighted results accordingly, if anything numbers could be better for Harris, especially with their ground game, but we'll see
