Musk turned on a feature on X that showed country of origin.
He disabled it a couple hours later when it was revealed how many MAGA accounts aren't in the U.S.
Foreign bot disinformation machines exposed.
Seems like Twitter could have done that feature 15 years ago & we wouldn't be here today.

All Trump does is lie for attention. This has been the playbook for years. When Americans understands this - we can fight effectively. It’s too many people waiting on something from this regime. Wake up America‼️

Rewarding a dictator-aggressor always leads to another war. One that is usually even worse.

To the men and women who wear the uniform...my brothers and sisters in arms...I know the message from those six Democratic lawmakers wasn’t just heard...it resonated. The nation will look to you to act with honor. I have full confidence you’ll rise to the moment.

Remember: The oligarchs who control our economy and democracy seek to divide us so they can become more powerful.
They want us to turn on each other so we don't look up and see where all the wealth and power have gone.
Don't fall for it.

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos.

![II. Credibility
The Court next addresses the credibility of the parties’ evidence and witnesses. After reviewing all the evidence submitted to the Court and listening to the testimony elicited at the preliminary injunction hearing, during depositions, and in other court proceedings, the Court finds Defendants’ evidence simply not credible. [FN 6]
Plaintiffs submitted a mountain of evidence, providing the Court with over eighty declarations, numerous videos and articles, and other evidence. Defendants did not rebut anything that Plaintiffs set forth in their declarations or testimony, even with BWC footage.
[FN 6] In another case considering some of the same evidence presented to this Court, another court in this district also found that the perceptions of certain of Defendants’ declarants, such as Hott and Parra, were not reliable. See Illinois v. Trump, No. 25-cv-12174, 2025 WL 2886645, at *5 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 10, 2025) (noting a “troubling trend of Defendants’ declarants equating protests with riots and a lack of appreciation for the wide spectrum that exists between citizens who are observing, questioning, and criticizing their government, and those who are obstructing, assaulting, or doing violence”), motion to stay denied in part, 155 F.4th 929 (7th Cir. 2025).](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:2vtbmhmrwzbqcfv4we4uxzzt/bafkreifpyry2il5toxbr3iejgrsxs6kmnwve75qwnhebfp44ieyjrfpsdu@jpeg)

Each cup = $50 billion, and each color represents something different. A way to see how the federal government is spending and who it benefits.
Now, which budget/policy benefits ALL Americans?
