Behind this important reversal is a member of the Coast Guard who saw what was happening and had the courage to leak it to the press. That person deserves serious praise.

Just wanna re-up in simple terms that when Biden talked to platforms, Jim Jordan launched years of investigations into everybody involved, said it was tyranny, censorship, etc.

And now they just straight up acknowledge that they talk to platforms too.

Trump deporting Ukrainians who fear being drafted into the military during a war is rich coming from a guy who dodged the draft 5 times by paying his way out and whose grandad ran to America to avoid being drafted.
