It’s bad enough when people tweet horrible things and then later figure out they were perhaps pretty horrible and shouldn’t have been tweeted. Sure, we still make fun of them but at least they appear to have some sort of self-awareness. These old tweets from E. Jean Carroll? Yikes. So much yikes. And they’re all still up. Big thanks to Hollaria Briden for doing the dirty (literally) work and finding these tweets.

Special Counsel Jack Smith hunted information on X users who liked or retweeted posts published by former President Donald Trump, according to redacted search warrants and other documents released Monday.According to the heavily redacted document issued to then-Twitter in January, the court ordered the social media giant to forfeit a bevy of information regarding Trump’s account, including “advertising information, including advertising IDs, ad activity, and ad topic preferences,” as well as IP addresses “used to create, login, and use the account” and privacy and account settings. The warrant also demanded information such as Trump’s search history, direct messages, and “content...

Donald Trump’s old tweets are coming back to haunt him. Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis highlighted a dozen of the former president’s posts on the platform X, formerly known as Twitter, in her sweeping 2020 election racketeering case against him. The tweets were showcased in a section of the 13-count indictment against Trump that outlined 150 instances that played a role in his alleged conspiracy to thwart the 2020 election.

“I am honored to be welcomed again in Kyiv,” Biden, 80, wrote in the message, which he left for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in the guestbook at Ukraine’s Royal Palace. “I stand in solidarity and friendship with the freedom loving people of Ukraine. Mr. President, please accept my deepest respect for your courage and leadership. “Slava Ukraini!” Biden concluded, deploying the rallying cry that means “Glory to Ukraine!” Accompanying an image of the letter, Biden tweeted: “Kyiv has captured a part of my heart. I knew I would be back.

It’s kind of hard to lead an “insurrection” when you are telling everyone to “remain peaceful,” and to “support Capitol Police,” and to “stay peaceful.” Last night Elon Musk reinstated President Trump’s Twitter account, hours after a poll of Twitter users asked if the 45th president should be reinstated. More than 15 million people participated in the Twitter poll. 51.8% voted yes and 48.2% voted no. Trump’s Twitter account was up and running shortly after Elon Musk agreed to reinstate it. Since his account was taken down on January 8, 2021, his tweets from that week were the last messages...

Twitter may often be a cesspool of toxic digital waste, but it also serves as a kind of public record of historical events. Case in point: Donald Trump’s resurfaced tweets from January 6, 2021.Now that his account has been reinstated, the entire world can access the trove of Trump’s tweets — the good, the bad and the covfefe. Conservatives are flooding their tweet streams tonight with retweets of two messages Trump sent on January 6, and they paint a picture far different from what libs like AOC and lame ducks like Liz Cheney would have you believe.After nearly two long...

Now that Elon Musk’s Twitter takeover is complete, many people are suddenly turning to Mastodon in their hunt for alternative venues for tweet-like social media consumption. Mastodon hews close to Twitter’s overall style, with “toots” instead of tweets and “boosts” instead of retweets, along with mentions, hashtags, and a chronological feed. The key difference is that Mastodon has no ads, no creepy data mining, and no centralized ownership. It can be a little tricky to set up, though, and you may quickly discover that its attempts to clone Twitter are at odds with its decentralized nature. But don’t let that...

The press secretary for Pennsylvania Democrat John Fetterman’s U.S. Senate campaign has sent out a number of tactless race-centered tweets and expressed that she was “mortified to be an American” after the 2016 Presidential Election, according to a report. Fetterman press secretary Emilia Winter Rowland made her Twitter account private after Fox News’s Kyle Morris unearthed the tweets and reached out to the Fetterman team for comment.

With Queen Elizabeth II, the longest-serving world leader in the West, being placed under medical supervision, U.S. President Joe Biden has published a glowing tribute on social media – to Barack Obama. President Biden, who believes himself to be Irish despite his family progenitor in the Americas likely being an Englishman, has often appeared to harbour anti-British sentiment, declining to give a comment to the BBC on his election with a smirking reference to his supposed Irishness and ejecting a bust of Sir Winston Churchill from the Oval Office on taking up his post, for example.

Elon Musk called out an old Hillary Clinton tweet as a “hoax” Friday after a Twitter user flagged it for misleading disinformation and was ignored. The tweet, written Oct. 31, 2016 during Clinton’s failed presidential campaign, is a statement issued in response to a news report about an alleged secret server at Trump Tower that was being used to covertly communicate with Russia. “Computer scientists have apparently uncovered a covert server linking the Trump Organization to a Russian-based bank,” Clinton wrote in the tweet alongside the statement issued by one of her then-top aides, Jake Sullivan. A Twitter user tagged...

Joy Behar told her co-hosts Wednesday on ABC’s “The View” that former President Donald Trump tweeted “dumb shit-stuff” a second before the control room could mute her. During the panel discussion about the possibility of Trump returning to Twitter under Elon Musk‘s ownership, Behar said, “I believe in free speech. I am very, you know, this is what we do for a living. And I believe in the First Amendment. Not that this is covered by the First Amendment because this is a privately-owned business. But, I mean, let us not forget that Trump was kicked off of Twitter because...

Biden's pick to combat disinformation online has spread her fair share of false information in tweets about masks and former President Donald Trump - and has even expressed her support for the former British spy behind the Russian dossier. On Wednesday, officials announced that Nina Jankowicz, 33, will head the Department of Homeland Security's Disinformation Governance Board as executive director. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas did not disclose any powers that would be granted to the dystopian-sounding board while addressing lawmakers on Wednesday. He explained that the board would work to tackle disinformation ahead of the November midterms, particularly in...

A Democratic congressional candidate in South Dakota is withdrawing his candidacy at the request of the South Dakota Democratic Party (SDDP) in light of scrutiny he is facing for past tweets he made about several South Dakota Republicans, including Rep.

In one...

Lame duck Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), who serves on the January 6 committee, but was nonetheless drawn out of his congressional district by Illinois Democrats, tweeted an error-filled rant Wednesday against Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO). Kinzinger, a veteran who is often hawkish on foreign policy, took issue with Hawley’s effort to encourage peace between Ukraine and Russia by dropping U.S. support for Ukrainian membership in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO)
