This is amazing: Facebook admits that 64% of the people on Facebook who joined extremist groups did so because FACEBOOK RECOMMENDED THEY JOIN EXTREMIST GROUPS.
Facebook's own researchers found that “64% of all extremist group joins are due to our recommendation tools" and that “our recommendation systems grow the problem.” Facebook VP for policy Joel Kaplan (known for throwing a party for Kavanaugh after confirmation) nixed any action.

Trump had affairs with porn stars, ripped off his own charity, pardoned war criminals, is accused of sexual assault and rape, puts children in cages and has lied more than 13,000 times since being in office. Now his daughter is lecturing the public about morals.
“A decline of public morals in the United States will probably be marked by the abuse of the power of impeachment as a means of crushing political adversaries or ejecting them from office.”
Alexis de Tocqueville, 1835

Trump has a Chinese bank account. What's the big deal?
1. It was undisclosed, which is illegal
2. He got $17 million through in WHILE PRESIDENT
3. There's no reason other than graft to have a bank account inside China

There's an evergreen graphic for this statement.
Chris Wallace: "This is an extremely flammable situation and the president just threw a match into it. He hasn't won these states ... the president doesn't get to say he won states ... there's no question that all these states can continue to count votes."

It’s official. Steve Bannon has violated a congressional subpoena and missed his opportunity—w/o jail time or court order—to come clean about the Jan. 6 insurrection. He will face the full force of the law for the smirking contempt he is showing Congress and the American people.

Trump found the ultimate hack: If you hide your corruption, your political career is ruined. But if your corruption is just out in the open, nothing happens.
Two private jet companies have received government bailout money.
Jet Linx Aviation got $20 million.
Clay Lacy Aviation got $27 million.

With "Chief Twit" trending, I'd like to add that this is a stolen title that belongs to @leolaporte. By "belong," I mean he trademarked "Twit" before Twitter existed and has been using "Chief Twit" as his title, personal branding and as a sub-brand of TWiT for years. #ChiefTwit

Elon Musk to silence Twitter users who can't pay by: 1) no voting in polls; 2) not showing you in "for you"; and 3) making your tweets go into what Musk called a "spam folder."
He thinks this will force people to pay. Instead, it will make Twitter not worth paying for.

Why do Trump supporters always tout the number of people who voted for Trump? He lost the popular vote twice, the second time in a landslide. He was impeached twice. His approval never rose above 50%. His support is worse than any other president in recent memory. He's a loser.

VICE later confirmed that the video was taken in an area where no protests, looting, or rioting has taken place. bit.ly/2U6uV0u
