We need an enforceable code of ethics for SCOTUS and their spouses. Our founders clearly did not know the lows that our current GOP and the Federalist Society could sink to. msnbc.com/opinion/msnbc-opinio

I have three words to say to the White House and all the journalists who’ve said they won’t pay for blue checkmarks.

“Come to Mastodon”

It's just like Les Misérables, except Jean Valjean is worth $200 billion and he wasn't stealing bread to feed children, he was stealing employees' charitable donations to fund his failing vanity project.

@ZoeSchiffer tweet, March 31, 2023: NEW: Twitter hasn't paid thousands of dollars in charitable donations that employees made in 2022, around the time of the acquisition. The money was taken out of employee paychecks but never reached the organizations. Benevity, the third-party platform that is used to facilitate the payments, told employees Twitter hasn't yet approved the payments. After | started asking around about this yesterday Twitter said it is “actively working” to get the money to the NGOs.

@paul one of the Trump lawyers was led outside in his boxers by FBI. Bet he is furious over Trump’s special treatment.

I'm in looking for a handful of people to test out a pre-alpha #Android #Mastodon app. Please DM me if you are active at giving feedback and not afraid of partially completed apps.

The app will be open sourced in the future.

Here are some teaser screenshots. #meowstodon

A really critical lesson of the Trump era is that there is no one - absolutely no one - who is so repulsive, stupid, or unhinged that our media will not normalize them once they obtain a sufficient amount of political power twitter.com/60Minutes/status/1

From me: North Carolina is expanding Medicaid. Eli Lilly is cutting insulin prices.
In both cases, the quiet catalyst was actually the American Rescue Plan, the unfairly maligned law whose most obscure pieces are helping millions of people.

GOP operative who is married to Ron Paul's Granddaughter is sentenced to 18 months for funneling Russian money to the Trump campaign in 2016.

"In pleading for leniency, Benton cited his Christianity and claimed he was no longer involved with politics."

And it's official: Twitter users can now choose to be less secure — to use text messages for 2FA rather than an app — but only if they pay the monthly fee. You pay for insecurity. The weirdest security decision I've ever seen from a major tech company.

Twitter has taken a nose dive recently. Timelines filled with very low quality accounts and bots. Who pays $44 million for the Twitter trash heap. Putin and his oligarchs definitely have the money and the motivation.

Elon doesn’t have a problem with this? I know he doesn’t care about women and girls, but surely he cares about an attack causing a world wide economic collapse.

The first man on the moon, George Santos, has been put on the Space & Science Committee and the Small Business Committee by the Republican Party.

Sadly, the latter part of that sentence is true.

"What makes the debt ceiling qualitatively different is that this isn’t a policy dispute. What Republicans are doing is manufacturing a hostage crisis, effectively telling Democrats that the GOP is prepared to harm Americans on purpose unless their demands are met. For all intents and purposes, it is a Republican extortion scheme."

As the former Vice Chair of the House #HomelandSecurity Committee, I’m HORRIFIED that the House #GOP appointed Marjorie Taylor Greene #MTG on the committee.

A #QAnon conspiracy theorist and a #January6th insurrectionist doesn’t belong on a committee that exists to fight extremism.

This, from the long, must-read Verge article on the Birdsite, may explain why Twitter Files went so hard after Yoel Roth: He warned them that Elmo's Blue Check would lead to fakes like the Eli Lilly prank.

So Roth will spend the next year fighting off the House Oversight Committee (now stashed with insurrectionists) rather than talking to Eli Lilly's lawyers.

Twitter’s trust and safety team compiled a seven-page document outlining the dangers associated with paid verification. What would stop people from ­impersonating politicians or brands? They ranked the risk a “P0,” the highest possible. But Musk and his team refused to take any recommendations that would delay the launch.Days after the subscription service debuted, Twitter canned it. Yoel Roth, the head of the team whose warnings had been ignored, resigned. In an all-hands meeting, Musk vowed not to relaunch Twitter Blue until the company had gotten a handle on impersonators. (Shortly after he did, in mid-December, ostensibly with defenses in place, a columnist for the Washington Post managed to get a fake account for a U.S. senator verified.)

BREAKING: I am calling upon the Federal Election Commission to investigate George Santos.

There is reason to suspect an illicit flow of campaign dollars through various pass-throughs into the pockets of the #GeorgeSantos campaign.

We need the truth.
