Well, two things.
1. Dr. Gartner's been saying this since 2017, which is another lesson not to get over your skis because it undermines good arguments when you need them
2. You don't need to be a psychologist to see the rapid decline now.

It's way more than a national security risk as we usually employ the phrase in connection with external threats. The security risk is also a JD Vance risk, a Peter Theil/billionaire risk. National security is much more of an internal consideration in this regard. www.alternet.org/trump-psycho...

Very funny part of this bogus lawsuit is Taibbi saying that Bari Weiss was a much more successful grifter than he was
![24. Higgins additionally compared Plaintiff to fellow Twitter Files reporter Bari Weiss, saying: "Unlike Taibbi, [Bari] Weiss used Musk rather than being used by him and spun the Twitter Files into an independent career move." In fact, Weiss immediately parlayed the Twitter Files into a fundraising campaign that generated $15 million in seed capital for her Substack platform The Free Press, money which came from actual billionaires Marc Andreessen and David Sacks, then later sold the property for $200 million to another billionaire, Larry Ellison. Plaintiff meanwhile never sought outside funding and never solicited help of any kind from wealthy donors, in direct contradiction to the Book's claims.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2rrp7amblhg3xoly5n5huiqv/bafkreifv3opyqhfzhmjup4jozf4em6ulq4fzlqh77jibzh4wzd6lg6y72i@jpeg)

Read the complaint. It's ridiculously weak. Doesn't even attempt to show actual malice. Repeatedly cites opinion statements as if they're factual.

The U.S. government just banned five people from entering the country because it doesn’t like their speech. This ban, according to the State Department, is necessary to protect free speech.
