«Researchers at non-profit organisation Reset Tech, Check First and EU DisinfoLab found evidence of co-ordinated posts about Georgescu on social media and stated that Meta had also failed to enforce its own policies, which “demonstrates Meta’s failure to follow the European Commission’s recommendations to comply with the DSA”.»

Pramilla Jayapal to Alex Wagner/MSNBC:
There are always some #Dems who want to run to the center. We will never be winners if we try to be Republican Lite. We need to be strong Democrats.

The lesson of 2016: given a choice btwn #GOP Lite & a real Republican, GOP voters will always choose a real Republican.
It's not a winning strategy to soften & weaken our Dem principles & policies in a futile effort to appease RW voters & siphon some off to win #elections.
#Centrism serves no one.

"... to be clear, DOGE is an independent advisory panel that Musk gets to personally control, with no limits on its purview, which is not directly authorized under the Constitution or even by Congress. In other words, it’s the exact thing that Andreessen decried — inaccurately — about the CFPB."
Would be a joke if it wasn't so serious.
