1/ I promised a thread, with receipts, on why I regard the Durham report and investigation as minimalist shams. I never got to it because of (i) life, and (ii) other more pressing and timely matters. But now that Trump is staffing up, and now that there may be an opportunity to expose more of the abuses that our government has strained to cover up, this subject has become more pressing and timely. I’m still busy, but can deal with that by drafting this thread in parts over time and trying to keep it brief and focused (and full of typos).
The fact that a Republican candidate for a state agriculture position loses by 320,000 votes, and a US Senate candidate in the same midterm loses by 450,000, out of 4 million (+) votes cast, is not enough to support the idea that fraud was a major factor in the results. That doesn’t mean there wasn’t plenty of fraud. But the losing side alleging fraud has to prove it. And those numbers neither it nor even suggest it. 3.25% split-ticket voting is basically nothing. Independents make up way more than 3.25% of the voting pool.
Gimme something I can work with. This ain’t it. Sorry.
I have a better idea and am tagging @elonmusk. Simply make it part of X’s terms of service that the funding source of sponsored posts must be disclosed in every post, and that where this is not done, 100% of all revenue received for sponsored posts must be forfeited to X, together with interest and reasonable attorney fees/collection costs.
I just had a productive call with @LauraLoomer.
We agree on the need to strengthen disclosure rules for paid political content, especially content funded by foreign governments or interests. She made clear that she has never been paid by any foreign government, and I believe her.
We also discussed how the influencer ecosystem has drifted far from its independent roots and is now heavily shaped by special interests and lobbyists.
Paid political advocacy is currently the only major form of sponsored online content that does not require clear disclosure.
Promote a protein bar and you must label it as a paid partnership. Get paid to oppose the president’s tariffs or other policies, and no disclosure is required.
Both parties routinely work with influencers to advance candidates and causes, I have direct experience with this.
This is totally unregulated space. It’s time for the FTC to update its guidelines so paid political content is treated with the same transparency standards as commercial endorsements.
The biggest surprise to me from the exit polls how many people consider the Trump administration and/or family as corrupt, and how important that is to them. I wonder why Vance did not mention that. It seems a bit corrupt.

These grifting lying LOSERS never did ANYTHING to help the thousands of poor, vulnerable trafficked teen prostitutes suffering TODAY in their own districts. They just pumped grifty BS about a 25-year-old case against a dead guy and his sick convict paramour. Together with well-lawyered 45-year-old “victims” who after voluntarily engaging in prostitution for a millionaire client recovered hundreds of millions of dollars, but who wouldn’t name names, because there ARE NO NAMES. WHERE is the fake phony “client list”, LIARS??? All four of you FAKERS should enjoy your retirement. Maybe Tucker can set you up in Qatar. Sorry for all of the SUCKERS who sent you money.
We are the Fearless Four. And none of us are coming back.
We stood with the Epstein survivors when it was politically toxic. We put the truth and victims first.
We paid the price. And I'd do it all over again. No regrets.
Marjorie resigned. Thomas lost his primary. Lauren lost her election. I ran for governor and came up short.
3 million files are out because we refused to shut up.
Fearless doesn’t mean invincible. Fearless means we didn’t flinch.

@grok, I know I piss people off regularly, while providing others with information they appreciate. And I block people almost every day. But when is the last time my follower count has been more than 100 different from what it is now? What are the odds of flatlining in followers like this for so long? Shouldn’t I have fewer followers? Is my account be manipulated in some way?

1% of the Republican party are lowlife trash who couldn’t give a crap about the First Amendment or William Penn. Many many many more Democrats are atheist Marxists.
Important question. Do you want people like Harmeet in the tent? How about people like ME?!?
Or would you prefer a few haters who can’t stand Evangelicals either?
It’s one or the other. You can’t have both.
My husband watched me pray in our Sikh faith at the RNC — and one of our last text messages before he died a couple of weeks later was telling me
he was so proud of me. He was supposed to be there, but he was also dying from two serious illnesses, and he could not make it at the last minute. Our medical staff at home took care of him while he watched me pray in our faith tradition -/ just as we did at home daily over each meal.
All you trash who have denigrated my prayer to the ONE GOD many faiths believe in, deeply hurt me for the last two years, but I could not comment back because I was part of a campaign and then confirmation -/ administration. It’s over. I won’t be silent any longer.
Go read the First Amendment and my extensive record on behalf of ALL people of faith in America. For 34 years. And then let’s measure our respective records on religious liberty. I welcome all comers who think they can prove they did more than I did for ALL people of faith in this country. There are none. I intend to keep fighting for ALL people of faith in America for the rest of my life. But I won’t hide my own faith for one second. It’s protected by our Constitution.
If you want to make the world a better place, start with our friend’s foot. If you are too cheap to care about that, then don’t bother me about other stuff.
I’m big on free speech, but if someone pays you post about something, it should identify or publicly report the payor. That’s the rule with political adds on TV (“paid for by …). That’s the rule with FARA (if a foreign source). And as to any medical treatment, or financial advice, the disclaimers or fine print are longer than the advertisement itself. This platform should be no different.
