Coming back to Facebook likely to produce a windfall for Trump

“Trump has repeatedly used Truth Social to fuel violence, spread election lies, and promote domestic terrorist organizations like QAnon," a tech activist told VICE News.

Thanks to AZ records laws, we know that election conspiracy theorists played a key role in the sham “audit," and learned that a SCOTUS justice's spouse worked to overturn the 2020 election.
