Gaetz: Biden ‘Functionally Gaslit This Indictment by Saying that Extreme MAGA Republicans Were Dangerous’
Thursday on FNC’s “The Ingraham Angle,” Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) accused President Joe Biden of gaslighting the Trump indictment by saying “MAGA Republicans” were “dangerous. According to the Florida congressman, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg ran on continuing what Gaetz deemed to be a “terrible witch hunt.” “Not only did Joe Biden not put out a message to bring the temperature down, he functionally gaslit this indictment by saying that extreme MAGA Republicans were dangerous,” he said. “Remember, it’s Biden’s government that we are currently investigating for supercharging the notion of domestic violent extremism. We found cases of the FBI cooking the books to try to get every American to think that the person next to them with a pro-Trump bumper sticker is somehow dangerous or evil. And when Biden did that, it created a permission structure not only for Alvin Bragg but for the corrupt left-leaning prosecutors in Fulton County and even for the special counsel to try to … [Read more...] about Gaetz: Biden ‘Functionally Gaslit This Indictment by Saying that Extreme MAGA Republicans Were Dangerous’
FNC’s Carlson: Indictment an Unprecedented Step Permanent Washington Has Taken to Stop Trump from Holding Office in a Democracy
Thursday on FNC’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” host Tucker Carlson opened his program with condemnation of Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg’s pursuit of an indictment of former President Donald Trump. Carlson called the move by the borough’s top prosecutor an “unprecedented step” used to stop a second Trump presidency. Transcript as follows: CARLSON: So obviously, this indictment is something brand new, the beginning of something, but it is also the culmination of something. The culmination of an effort to make certain that Donald Trump is never elected President again. That was the whole purpose of the January 6th Committee, obviously. So far it’s not working. Trump is leading the Republican field for the nomination by a wide margin. In Georgia, a partisan grand jury whose forewoman is giving interviews to MSNBC is apparently also preparing to charge Donald Trump with a crime of doubting election results. You are not allowed to doubt election results in Georgia, … [Read more...] about FNC’s Carlson: Indictment an Unprecedented Step Permanent Washington Has Taken to Stop Trump from Holding Office in a Democracy

‘Free Speech Absolutist’ Elon Musk’s Twitter Locks Account of New York Post – Again
Elon Musk’s Twitter locked the New York Post out of its account on Thursday after it posted a story about the social media platform deleting more than 5,000 tweets about the Trans Radical Activist Network (TRAN)’s upcoming “Trans Day of Vengeance.” Twitter prevented the New York Post from tweeting from its main account after it shared its own news article on the removal of thousands of tweets raising awareness to the fact that a planned “Trans Day of Vengeance” is set to take place in Washington, D.C. just days after a transgender school shooter killed six people, three of them 9-year-old children, in Nashville.

Twitter posts the code it claims determines which tweets people see, and why
Twitter has made good on one of CEO Elon Musk's many promises , posting on a Friday afternoon what it claims is the code for its tweet recommendation algorithm on GitHub . The code, posted under a GNU Affero General Public License v3.0 , contains numerous insights as to what factors make a tweet more or less likely to show up in users' timelines. In a blog post accompanying the code release , Twitter's engineering team (under no particular byline) notes that the system for determining which "top Tweets that ultimately show up on your device's For You timeline" is "composed of many interconnected services and jobs." Each time a Twitter home screen is refreshed, Twitter pulls "the best 1,500 Tweets from a pool of hundreds of millions," the post states. The largest source of those tweets are "In-Network Sources," or users someone follows. The top tweets from that pile are ranked on the likelihood of a user's engagement with that tweet's author; the more likely, the more … [Read more...] about Twitter posts the code it claims determines which tweets people see, and why
