I am hearing from multiple sources that the EU Commission is announcing its first DSA fine tomorrow against X on ad transparency, blue check & dark pattern, and researcher access to data.
The fine is in the "100s of millions of Euros."
Elon about to get big mad.

At some point, a journalist needs to ask Johnson “you regularly claim you have no idea what your own government is doing. If we take you at your word, how are you so poorly informed, and do you this level of ignorance should disqualify you as speaker?”

Q: What's your message to the 170 US citizens who have been detained by ICE? About 20 of them are children
MIKE JOHNSON: I don't know what you're talking about with the children. I haven't seen that so I'm not going to comment on it.

He's literally speaking out against the idea of representation for the American people and saying we have a corrupt SCOTUS that does what we want. Just saying it all out loud
Thune: "If the Democrats had won the majority, they probably would've tried to nuke the filibuster. And then you'd have four new senators from Puerto Rico and DC, you'd have a packed Supreme Court, you'd have abortion on demand ... "

This morning, the Trump Administration’s Department of War gave me an ultimatum: call up your troops, or we will. It is absolutely outrageous and un-American to demand a Governor send military troops within our own borders and against our will.

A friend I haven’t spoken to since the election reached out. He asked how I was doing.
“I’m tired of living in a fascist country.”
A handful of exchanges into the chat he said,
“I don’t talk about politics or religion. That starts fights.”
If you support fascism, you will be out of my life.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

Obvious to say, but the algorithm will be manipulated to amplify MAGA disinformation and throttle anti-Trump posts.
Leavitt on the TikTok deal: "There will be seven seats on the board that controls the app in the US and six of those seats will be Americans. The data and privacy will be led by one of America's greatest tech companies, Oracle, and the algorithm will also be controlled by America as well."

Republicans thought their gun obsession made them untouchable. Turns out, when you normalize violence and block recordkeeping, the bullets don’t check party ID. Right-wingers weren’t ready for their own rules to boomerang back.

This is the most infuriatingly witless talking point. No history is “erased” by the removal of a monument. What he means is “we want to celebrate and honor racism,” but that sounds bad, so we’re supposed to pretend this illiterate goon has some deep interest in the study of history.
Hegseth on restoring a Confederate monument in Arlington cemetery: "We recognize our history. We don't erase it. We don't follow the woke lemmings off the cliff that want to tear down statues ... we're proud of our history."
