Twitter biden press conference7/7/2023 Rightwing representative Marjorie Taylor Greene was the winner, and paid $100,000 for it. House Republicans auctioned off chapstick used by McCarthy. Special counsel Jack Smith may soon wrap up his investigation of the classified documents Trump kept at his Mar-a-Lago resort, and recommend whether to charge the former president or his allies, according to a report. Mitch McConnell thinks everyone should “relax”. Remember: 1 June remains the best estimate of a deadline for a deal, after which the US government could default and potentially send the economy crashing down.Ī Trump-allied Pac called DeSantis’s announcement plans “one of the most out-of-touch campaign launches in modern history.” Meanwhile, in Washington, negotiations between Joe Biden’s team and deputies of Kevin McCarthy over raising the debt ceiling continued, with the Republican speaker sounding optimistic about their prospects by the afternoon. Ron DeSantis will announce his campaign for president tomorrow, not at a public event surrounded by well-wishers and allies, but on Twitter with the company’s owner Elon Musk. But it could prove a burden should DeSantis become distracted by the tycoon’s many controversial comments. The relationship could be a significant boost for DeSantis by giving him an introduction to, and credibility with, Musk’s massive following - including his 140 million Twitter followers. That same evening, the campaign will release a launch video, and DeSantis will begin visiting several early states after Memorial Day. It will be moderated by David Sacks, a tech entrepreneur who is a Musk confidant and DeSantis supporter. Musk and DeSantis will host an event on Twitter Spaces, the site’s platform for audio chats, on Wednesday at 7 p.m. He’s exhibited a conservative streak in recent years, particularly after his acquisition of Twitter and decision to unban a number of controversial accounts, including Trum’p’s.

Late last month, Twitter's former head of trust and safety, Yoel Roth, told the tech journalist Kara Swisher that he and other Twitter employees were concerned that the Post's story was part of a Russian disinformation campaign aimed at damaging Joe Biden's candidacy ahead of the 2020 US election.19.21 BST DeSantis plans presidential announcement on Twitter with Elon Musk - reportįlorida’s Republican governor Ron DeSantis will tomorrow evening officially announce his presidential campaign in a virtual appearance with Elon Musk, NBC News reports, citing three sources familiar with the plans. Much of the information contained in the emails Taibbi tweeted out confirmed what was already publicly known about Twitter's handling of the New York Post's story. When Twitter's internal communications were eventually released Friday evening, they came in the form of a long tweet thread by the journalist Matt Taibbi. Trump was responding then to comments from Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg that Facebook limited the story's reach on the site's news feeds for five or seven days amid questions about the content. Musk's announcement is likely to inflame Trump, who in August demanded reinstatement as president or "a new Election, immediately" after news that Facebook temporarily limited the laptop story. He later tweeted that "Twitter has failed in trust & safety for a very long time and has interfered in elections." Account icon An icon in the shape of a person's head and shoulders.
