GOP lawmakers are up in arms that DirecTV might pull the plug on a major source of right-wing disinformation, and they’re trying to throw their weight around to stop it.

9 fatally shot in separate incidents in US Monday!

OK, #GOP, when is it enough? If you want to be taken seriously in your "protection" of embryos and fetuses, how about caring for us after we’re born? #ONEV1 #DemVoice1 #GunViolence #NRA

Jan 6 was largely a Christian nationalist assault, Mike Pompeo told the committee that he met “with a group of pastors who were in town” on January 6th, and yet January6thCmte asked no follow up questions about that meeting?! #NAR #ChristianNationalism #Pompeo #January6 #Pompeo #dominionism Thread: https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1606534526142144514.html

Some of the best things in life are totally Free. Here’s another great example especially for young people in USA who recently had some books banned in their neck of the woods:

BREAKING: Senior FBI official who led 2016 investigation finding no link between Trump and Russia, Charles McGonigal, has now been arrested for taking and laundering money for Russian oligarch Oleg Deripaska.

The Kremlin infiltration of America goes VERY deep.

Garland never needed to appoint a special counsel for Trump. And didn't need one for Biden. Now he has no choice but to appoint one for Pence.

Still, if both Biden and Pence are cleared, as expected, it's easier to charge Trump -- which should definitely happen.

Microsoft's Xbox console will now use less electricity and save users $$$. Naturally, this enraged Ted Cruz... despite the fragile Texas grid needing all the help it can get. Does Ted Cruz's mouth have a sleep mode?

@stopgopfox Everyone is getting so hysterical about the docs found at Pres. Biden and Pence's homes, and I think the hysteria is over the top, and premature.
The docs from Pres. Biden and Pence could be nothing more than 'the next days sched', or 'weekly menu'.
I can't see Pres. Biden OR Pence doing ANYTHING to keep or hide ANY Classified docs.
There is STILL a huge difference between what Trump did, and the finding of docs in Pres. Biden or Pence's homes. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ma8rR_BWsI8

Gonna need a whole lotta new $8 Twitter Blue subs before this is over...

Journalism orgs that do decent job of covering social media trends should not have a sharing lineup that looks like this (on @verge). They should be including Mastodon. Hope that will be happening more, soon.
