Trump probably lost more than that after his Truth Social stock took another dive today.

Yep, any actions he takes that help Twitter hurt Truth Social.

Just something to keep note of, WI just resoundingly defeated 2 constitutional ballot proposals to strip the governor of a lot of their power to allocate federal and general funds. This, despite there not being a major statewide primary going on. I think we can have WI go MI.

So mostly good news, good. Need as many election deniers out as possible.

Leave no stone unturned. Spend every campaign dollar (wisely) to make sure this crucial election doesn’t lead to a terrible future.

Corporate media refuses to focus on the climate crisis to inform voters because it "bums them out" and hurts ratings. This is another reason to have a federal funded news media to cover these kind of issues without corporate interests forcing a narrative.

There is a reason AIPAC didn't get involved in that race. Clearly, her position got stronger, since she barely beat him 2 years ago.

Especially when 10 billion people watched it.

The Guardian pays this man to report just Trump stuff. I hope he gets a big paycheck.

1.2 Million sounds so much worse when you consider how many people are on Twitter, how many people on twitter on a regular base see Musks tweets etc.

The more desperate Trump and Musk get, the happier it makes me.

Don't know how the map will look like on election night, but it would be nice if it happened.
