Please DELETE toots pushing baseless conspiracy theories.

This is FAKE. Your link is merely a blog with fewer subscribers than my friend's dog has followers on Instagram. Their "source" is equally ludicrous. Their linked "articles" are farcical.

Did Musk influence the election? Only in the same way that the rest of corporate social media did-- it convinced enough people to stay home or "protest" by not voting at all. ALL of social media kept enough people stupid and naive that they felt it was safe to stay home.

Trump did not get millions more votes this time than in 2020. His base came out for him as before, the Democrats didn't for Kamala.

No one "stole" the election. We GAVE it away by staying home.

Please... DELETE FAKE NEWS. You are already helping spread this LIE as "fact." Thank you.

This is Trump et al taking a sledge hammer to the Federal govt. Or, as Steve Bannon likes to call it, the administrative state.

Insurrection by sabotage from within: that's Trump's true agenda.

Of all the post-election analysis, it’s interesting that no one seems to be talking much about wealth or income

I saw an FT headline that reads "Poorer voters flocked to Trump”

But that’s not true, Not by these statistics:

statista.com/statistics/153529…

The very lowest incomes favored Harris slightly, as did the highest

It was the mid-to-low incomes that “flocked” to Trump, not the very poorest

That seems important

Trump pressures candidates for #Senate #GOP leader to fill his Cabinet right away

US Senate has not allowed presidents to make recess appts since a 2014 #SCOTUS ruling limited the president’s power to do so.

He's not even been sworn in, so he's not even POTUS yet, but - true to form - Trump wants to break that rule. Big time.

Hm. Wonder why. arabnews.com/node/2578824

OMG, YES, Lauren,that show was just so great!

This is a very good video from Bernie Sanders about why it is really important to vote for Kamala Harris next week, even despite disagreements on Gaza:

(via @rmondello)

TL:DW - Trump is far worse on Gaza, Trump is Netanyahu's preferred candidate. And there are other issues such as climate change where Trump is threatening the entire planet. Rich will get richer, poor get poorer and world will burn.

Why the Houston Chronicle makes endorsements: "Newspapers don’t endorse candidates. Editorial boards do. The editorial board is separate from the newsroom...We do it as a service to our readers and to our democracy, which cannot flourish without an informed citizenry."

The editorial board of the Houston Chronicle isn't afraid to endorse Kamala Harris for president.
