"More than 2,000 people a day have been crossing the Rio Grande into Texas and arrivals are forecast to double with the end of pandemic-era restrictions that allowed US border officials to turn migrants away"

I notice that Elon Musk has launched, then partially rowed back a ban of social media links to other platforms, as part of his latest move as a famed free speech absolutist - for himself not others. Comically he was in Qatar hanging with the likes of Kushner and Erdogan at the time. He's on his way to going full Kanye in terms of PR, closely followed by Tesla stock if he continues to look more interested in inane Tweet sprees than business.

I can't see him being Twitter CEO for much longer at this rate. It's easy to mock or criticise these platforms from the outside, but no doubt the realities hit home when you're tasked with with running it.

That 60% figure has risen slightly since the pandemic but is neither new nor anything to do with current economic policy.

The USA.is not immune to the global economic situation but has actually weathered the storm. rather better than many. That doesn’t stop people blaming Biden for everything. Including you obviously.

Apparently the Twitter files reveal that the FBI paid Twitter over three million dollars between 2019 and early 2021, all while flagging the censorship of conservative voices and spreading misinformation and lies regarding Hunter Biden's laptop.

They literally interfered with a US election.

If the Republicans get in 2024 and control both houses there are going to be plenty of people connected to the last few years who are probably going to jail.
