How can you tell when a candidate knows that they are losing before they start running? When they resort to gimmicks to launch their campaign.
NPR has announced that they will no longer be posting and maintaining any of their 52 Twitter feeds after Twitter boss Elon Musk falsely labeled them ‘state-affiliated media.’
It appears that Ron DeSantis insists that Musk has the right to do whatever he wants with Twitter, but Apple, on the other hand, should be controlled by Congress if it decides to kick Twitter off the App Store.
Devin Nunes left Congress to work at Truth Social, but he likely going to be out of a job now that Trump has his Twitter account back.
No one wants to hear Kyle Rittenhouse complain. And yet, there it is.
The total cost of his folly cannot be known but it will end up being far more than one billion dollars and he won’t have his shiny new toy, either.
Get used to hearing a lot about Speaker Jim Jordan over the next few weeks, and, shockingly, it will likely be based upon McCarthy’s statements regarding Twitter.
Tucker Carlson told his viewers that no one else would save the right unless Elon Musk came to their rescue and bought Twitter.
It is clear that Elon Musk isn’t trying to take over Twitter to improve it. Musk wants to buy it to destroy it.
In 24 hours, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene has gone from calling Twitter a threat to America to demanding that her account be reinstated.

Ted Cruz has spent much of the last year as a walking punch line. You would never know it from his Twitter feed, though.

Twitter announced it has suspended the account of Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) after she violated the platform’s rules regarding Covid-19 misinformation.

Ron DeSantis has spent much of the last year congratulating himself on how he has handled COVID-19. The Florida governor has leaned in hard to the culture war aspect of the pandemic.

As soon as Donald Trump filed his lawsuit against Facebook and Twitter, legal experts chimed in that he would open himself to deposition.

When Donald Trump rose to the presidency in 2016, he did so with lots of help from Twitter and Facebook. Twitter allowed him to post messages directly to his 75 million followers.

For many years, both Twitter and Facebook have let misinformation run rampant on their sites. Facebook continues to do little to stop the problem.

The Republican party and their cable news surrogates are big on hyperbole. This was seen tonight when multiple GOP Reps. lost their minds over a metal detector placed in the House.

Twitter is still a pretty new form of communication. The social media site was created in 2006, but George W. Bush didn’t have much use for it.
