Among the first agencies President Donald Trump gutted after taking office for his second term was a Department of Homeland Security team that had repeatedly disproved his stolen election claims. (Published May)

Trump: "They want to cut your children. It's unbelievable what they do. Your son leaves as Jimmy and comes home in three days as Janet, and they don't even ask you. They can take your child out of school and do whatever the hell they want. Minnesota is one of those states."

Zelensky: "When our strikes reached Yandex’s data centers, it suddenly became a little easier to breathe on many social media platforms. A lot of people noticed it. There was less hate, less division, and fewer provocations... It’s pretty clear where those bots were coming from."

Relative got a $500 check from US Treasury and a shocking letter full of lies signed by Trump and ending with "May God bless you". Basically a pre-electoral bribe. News reports say they're sending almost a million of these. Full text in alt below. (I told him to cash it quick before it bounces.)

Tonight I fell down a SNL sketch rabbit hole on YouTube of “What Up With That” (not the first time down this particular hole) and for the first time recognized one of the bit players as Carmy’s sister Nat from The Bear. Never knew she was an SNL alum. Bigger surprise? Chris Elliott’s daughter! 🤯

You read that right: Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Qatar will, thanks to the approval of Trump's FCC, own 49.5% of Paramount Warner Brothers, and CBS, and CNN. One of many things to keep in mind when you cast your vote in the next six weeks.

KARL: Do you support Trump banning news organizations because he doesn't like what they're reporting? SCALISE: Look, Biden removed the press credentials from 400 agencies KARL: That's not true. 400 reporters who had credentials didn't reapply. They weren't banned from the WH. That did not happen.

❌ Musk wants your voter data, & more from you. “Vote Safe” is NOT safe. It is his method for stealing your data. ✅ Vote.gov or your state’s Secretary of State website are non-partisan ways to check registration, register to vote, check Election Dates, & learn about what is on the ballot.

I left Twitter in 2023, when I realized that Elon's changes had made the site useless for me. I had a half million followers, but his new algorithm drove my engagement numbers down to nothing. I wasn't actually reaching anyone. I was just providing cover for Nazis. So I left. You can too. Honest!

ryan cooper@ryanlcooper.com

"Musk’s meddling in the site’s algorithm to suppress certain kinds of posts and elevate others is well documented. So if your anti-fascist posts on X are still getting views, it’s either because these posts are so toothless as to escape Musk’s notice, or because they are in fact useful to him."

In the hotel breakfast bar the television was tuned to something called “National News Desk” which is a Sinclair propaganda effort and the stories were “Mamdani radical tax plan halted” and “Primaries to determine how far Democrats’ radical socialism will go”

Blanche: "The president does not expect any of his leaders, including me, to just say yes to him no matter what ... there's this extraordinarily false narrative that POTUS wakes up & calls me & says, 'Todd, go prosecute x or y.' He does not do that. He has never done that. He will never do that"
