This seems to have some First Amendment Issues.
Authoritarians hate laughter and now in Texas, they want to jail you for it.
The Texas House just passed a bill that could land you behind bars for posting political memes without a government approved disclaimer.
One year in prison. For a meme. Yes, really.

Walz: You have a situation where the Secretary of Health basically said it and was speaking with the language of eugenics, that some people just don't matter. People like Deanna's son or my son or those of you listening tonight. So look, this is a fight we must win.

man I'm not even conservative and I could give you a better list than this. where's Borges? where's Wolfe? where's Herbert? Dostoevsky is arguably the greatest novelist in history, and "right winger" fits him better than anything else

Are all government accounts on X just troll accounts now?
This is from the official House Foreign Affairs Committee—the same committee responsible for foreign aid, global HIV/AIDS policy, security assistance, and national security. This is how they choose to represent themselves.

Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.
I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

Elon Musk called Social Security a "ponzi scheme." This is absolute rubbish. Social Security has paid every benefit owed to every eligible American for 85 years. Perhaps the bigger "ponzi scheme" is the $38 billion spent by taxpayers to prop up his corporations?

"I’m old enough to remember what happened the last time the GOP tried cutting healthcare to offset tax cuts for the rich. In 2018, they attacked the ACA. That November, they lost the House by the biggest margin in modern US history. That’s the sleeping giant they’ve awoken by attacking Medicaid."
Republicans play dumb on Medicaid cuts
The GOP is engaged in bad-community-theater levels of disingenuousness.
