If Elon Musk can afford to pay $44 BILLION to destroy Twitter, he can afford to pay his fair share of taxes.

Evangelical leader Mike Evans on dumping Trump: “He used us to win the White House. We had to close our mouths and eyes when he said things that horrified us.” Trump didn't use you. You knew exactly what he was and looked the other way b/c he promised to kill Roe.

The Keystone XL product is only usable in international waters as a shipping fuel. It would never provide anything for consumption on US soil, or in US airspace. With how much this has been discussed, there can’t be any reasonable American or Canadian who doesn’t understand.

Donald Trump wasn’t banned from Twitter because he said something that someone didn’t like. He was banned for using the platform to incite a violent attack on our Capitol and on our democratic process that left destruction, death, and trauma in its wake.

18 weeks into her pregnancy, Karla found out her fetus had a severe genetic anomaly. North Carolina has a 20-week abortion ban, so she and her husband had days to make a decision that would impact the rest of their lives. This is their story. n.pr/3FwzHwC

3) It has been conveyed to me that my scoop 2 weeks ago upset the @CDCgov leadership, who were caught trying to defend how they neglected to inform the public that #BQ variants went from UNLISTED to suddenly 11%. It was epically embarrassing of @CDCDirector.
⚠️Scoop—MOTHER OF GOD—Just got this leak from CDC-insider source—it seems #COVID variants worse than CDC has been admitting. The new highly evasive #BQ1 & #BQ11 sub variants are surging over 11%—but CDC has not shared it yet! Here is what will be posted soon (left) 🆚 current. 🧵

'Pre-bunking' has become an important tool for tech companies, non-profits, and government agencies to fight misinformation. The idea is to show people the tactics and tropes of misleading information before they encounter it in the wild. n.pr/3WeMVUY
