It’s rally season, and we are shook.
He's talking about a friend of his from Kentucky who has an electric car and drives it to DC. Only person I know who matches that description is @RepThomasMassie, who loves his Tesla and owns one stock: Tesla. https://t.co/2aq1wGNssD

Like a pro @RepRaskin explains how Trump continues pushing the Republican Party toward fascism. Thank you Jamie for breaking it down so people can understand what’s happening. https://t.co/v0G1ymxcjA

Horrible language from a man present at the storming of the United States Capitol. Scary. https://t.co/eCi2wUVhdo

Literally said this: “Last week weirdo—he’s a weirdo—Mark Zuckerberg came to the White House…kissed my ass…”

Meow.
Like many things Marjorie Taylor Greene says, this is an allusion to an urban legend on the far-right internet that schools are putting litter boxes in classrooms to appease furries.
It’s impossible to stress just how much of her beliefs are based on internet fairy tales. https://t.co/yQi7vatitp

But don’t believe disinfo about MTG, either.
There's a claim that Rep. Greene auditioned for American Idol under the name Stefanie Sugarman.
There's no reason to believe it's true. None of the biographical details provided by Sugarman matches Greene's. Public records show that Sugarman from Alta Loma, CA is a real person.

Twitter isn’t equipped to have as much influence as it does.
New from us at The Post: #Twitter’s internal turf wars and under-funding left it outmatched by government-backed misinformation campaigns, according to employees and a report commissioned by Mudge Zatko. https://t.co/0uY61zfBXP

Low energy?
NEW from LCRW: @desertborder went to the low-energy flop QAnon rally in Hollywood yesterday that got mostly drowned out by matching numbers of antifascists and people who think Mitch O'Farrell sucks. The QAnoners were unsurprisingly hanging out with nazis. https://t.co/lnLgegoOlr

About the crowds in Prague.
The rally was organised by the far-right Freedom and Direct Democracy party (SPD) and the Communist Party of Czechia who support Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine.
I feel this is at least important to mention. https://t.co/FvoFeV40ew
