President Joe Biden’s approval rating is tanking, and he’s now trailing former President Donald Trump in national polls, as well as in some key swing states. Vox blames the economy for Biden’s plunging popularity — or at least voters’ perception of the economy. A new Gallup poll shows that just 32% of people approve of Biden’s handling of the economy. To combat the narrative that Biden’s policies are to blame, the White House has gone on the offensive, attacking billionaires and blaming corporations for the economic pain the public is experiencing.

🚨BREAKING:🚨per Ryan Fournier @RyanAFournier Mark Meadows allegedly worked for the FBI as an informant and wore a wire to record all conversations with President Trump, while he was his Chief of Staff. This jeopardized National Security is UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND CRIMINAL.

—- Snip —— Ever eager to twist and contort the boundaries of the law, the flexibility inherent in conspiracy law is a perfect tool for malicious abuse on the part of corrupt and politically weaponized prosecutors. In the Fulton County case, the prosecutor attempts to criminalize First Amendment speech, including Trump’s tweets, by considering them as “overt acts” in furtherance of Trump’s alleged plan to overturn the Georgia election results. As a consequence, the Georgia indictment registers the following tweets as effectively illegal in the context of this ridiculous conspiracy charge. That’s right, calling on supporters to watch conservative news...

RIP Twitter and even "Tweet". Get used to NOT typing it. A Tweet is now a 'Post" on there. Twitter is now X. The apps in the app stores have the new logo and an intro screen. And soon it will go into dark mode by default. Interesting times!

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., was roasted online after she tweeted Monday evening that the Earth broke a record for hottest day in 120,000 years. Omar, who used the tweet to call for a “climate emergency” declaration, added that the record for hottest day ever was broken on three separate days. However, Omar’s tweet was met with skepticism and was tagged with a Twitter community note casting doubt on the claim. “What was the temperature of the globe at 12pm GMT on July 1st, 116,539 BC?” former White House adviser Stephen Miller responded. “Is this satire?” added Republican Utah Senate candidate...

South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem laid into uber-woke ice cream brand Ben & Jerry's over the company's infamous July 4th tweet in which it called for Mount Rushmore to be returned to Native Americans. Noem, a Republican, called the Ben & Jerry's bosses a 'bunch of liberal Vermont businessmen' who 'haven't studied our history' and think that they 'know everything about this country,' during an interview with Fox News on Thursday. The governor went on to call Mount Rushmore 'the greatest symbol of our freedom.' Since sending out the message on Tuesday, Unilever, which has owned Ben & Jerry's since...

Ice cream company Ben & Jerry's sparked outrage with a July 4th tweet calling for the United States to return 'stolen indigenous land' starting with giving Mount Rushmore back to the Lakota Sioux tribe. The company, which was founded by longtime Bernie Sanders allies Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenwood but has since been sold to British multinational Unilever, tweeted the message to its 494,000 followers. 'This 4th of July, it's high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it,' the company's official account wrote. Outrage was swift on social media following the...

Having already honed its narrative that the Covid shots were completely safe and effective prior to taking power, Team Biden in its first week in office moved to censor anyone going against that narrative, information obtained in a lawsuit filed by the attorneys general for Missouri and Louisiana reveals. In a series of tweets on Jan. 6, newly sworn-in Missouri Attorney General Andrew Bailey detailed how Team Biden moved to suppress social media content posted by Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., Tucker Carlson and others. Bailey cited documents and emails between social media employees and White House officials obtained in a...

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi was ridiculed on Twitter Thursday over her reaction to the indictment of former President Donald Trump — as she appeared to butcher a key principle of criminal law. “The Grand Jury has acted upon the facts and the law,” Pelosi (D-Calif.), 83, wrote in her post. “No one is above the law, and everyone has the right to a trial to prove innocence,” she added. “Hopefully, the former President will peacefully respect the system, which grants him that right.” Her failure to recognize that Trump is granted the presumption of innocence, one of the most...

On Saturday, Jack Posobiec posted a screenshot of a now-deleted 2018 tweet from Greta Thunberg, which linked to an article predicting humans would go extinct by 2023 due to climate change. "A top climate scientist is warning that climate change will wipe out all humanity unless we stop using fossil fuels over the next five years." Thunberg's post read from 2018. The website Thunberg sourced in her original tweet, gritpost.com, has since been shut down. "Time flies when you're on the grift," one Twitter user wrote.

The National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency on Friday formally declassified an image then-US President Donald Trump tweeted in 2019 of a highly classified satellite photograph depicting the site of a failed Iranian rocket launch. NPR reported that the NGA declassified the image after a “grueling Pentagon-wide review to determine whether the briefing slide it came from could be shared with the public” in response to a Freedom of Information Act request from the radio network. Many details on the original image remain redacted – a clear sign that Trump was sharing some of the US government's most prized intelligence on social media,...

@marcorubio US Senate candidate, FL We should not have a Senate GOP leadership vote until we have a clear explanation for why our 2022 campaign efforts failed AND until we have a clear understanding of the political & policy direction for the GOP Senate moving forward

The Elon Musk Twitter saga just keeps getting weirder. Days after Musk finally took control of the social media platform, he fired off a head-scratching tweet from a dubious source about the man who violently attacked Paul Pelosi, the husband of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi. Then his tweet, which he posted early Sunday, vanished later in the day. Amid many doubts about where Musk will take Twitter, the sequence only deepened the uncertainty. Musk was responding to a tweet from Hillary Clinton, who shared a Los Angeles Times article about the suspect, 42-year-old David DePape, who became immersed in right-wing...

Conservative media personality Megyn Kelly sparked criticism this week with a tweet expressing outrage at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) decision to add a coronavirus inoculation to the required list of vaccinations for school children. “A scary # of kids are dying after taking the Covid vax — from myocarditis among other injuries,” Kelly wrote in her post on Wednesday afternoon. “HOW DARE THE CDC ADD THIS TO ITS LIST OF SCHOOL VACCINATIONS? Don’t listen. Be v careful w/ your teenage boys in partic but girls too. These are not honest brokers. This is dangerous!”

Disgraced former Senator Al Franken (D-MN) compared Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) to serial killer and sex offender Jeffrey Dahmer in a tweet written Thursday.

The Conservative Political Action Conference on Friday tweeted — and then hours later deleted — a message that called on Democrats to “end the gift-giving to Ukraine” while featuring a fluttering Russian flag. The tweet also referred to “Ukraine-occupied territories,” appearing to legitimize Russian President Vladimir Putin’s claims to annex provinces based on a referendum that the U.S. and allies view as illegal. CPAC chairman Matt Schlapp on Saturday said the tweet did not clear the normal approval process because he was traveling for a conference in Australia. “Due to my travel into a distant time zone it was never...

NBC News deleted a tweet containing a quote that compared migrants sent to Martha's Vineyard to "trash" in an attempt to criticize Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis. The quote came from Max Lefeld, a Venezuelan-American and immigrant activist. “It’s like me taking my trash out and just driving to different areas where I live and just throwing my trash there," he said. Ironically, Lefeld is also a founding member of the Casa Venezuela Dallas foundation, a charity that helps refugees. NBC posted the quote in a tweet with a link to its article, but deleted the tweet after receiving criticism online....

Meshawn Maddock, the co-chair of the Michigan Republican Party, took a homophobic swipe at Transportation Secretary and first openly gay Cabinet member Pete Buttigieg via Twitter on Sunday. “We’re so blessed this weak little girl moved to Michigan!” Maddock tweeted with a video clip of Buttigieg discussing California’s new law banning gas cars by 2035. “Looks like he’s bringing all his California Dreaming here with him.” Buttigieg, his husband Chasten Buttigieg and their twin children moved from South Bend, Indiana to Traverse City, Michigan in July to be closer to Chasten’s parents, per a spokesperson for the Transportation Department. Maddock’s...
