1. I REGRET TO INFORM YOU THAT FACEBOOK AND THE TRUMP CAMPAIGN ARE AT IT AGAIN

Facebook is allowing the Trump campaign to run false and misleading ads with impunity

popular.info/p/facebook-all…
2. Yesterday at 1PM, I contacted Facebook and flagged dozens of ads from the Trump campaign that falsely claimed Democrats are advocating "a repeal of the Second Amendment."

This violates Facebook's policy against "false and misleading ads."

3. At 7PM Monday, Facebook confirmed that it had received my question and promised to get back to me. I had given the company a deadline of 10PM.

By Tuesday morning, I heard nothing from Facebook but all the ads that I had flagged were marked "inactive"

4. It's unclear if the Trump campaign did this voluntarily or, like the hundreds of ads I flagged last week, Facebook forced them to take the ads offline

Either way, Facebook's process is broken and the Trump campaign is able to break the rules w/impunity popular.info/p/facebook-all…
5. We were told that, on Facebook, 2020 would not be a repeat of 2016. But that's exactly what is happening.

1. You may be wondering WTF is happening at the New York Times.

Let me explain in plain English.
2. In order to get those sweet, sweet scoops about the internal workings of the White House, you need RELATIONSHIPS with people who have access to the White House.

You may want to text, for example, with Rudy Giuliani
3. In many cases, Giuliani is just getting revenge on someone else inside the White House so who cares. He has a bone to pick with Jared Kushner or Jeff Sessions? Great. Gimme the scoop.

Facebook permanently bans Alex Jones just 7 years after he claimed Sandy Hook was a hoax. Impressive. theverge.com/2019/5/2/18526…
Atlantic, the Verge, CNN, and Washington Post all writing up this story simultaneously per Facebook's PR army. Meanwhile the company won't answer basic questions about the review process for Trump campaign ads popular.info/p/trump-ad-con…
It's been four days since Facebook promised to get back to me. But they've disappeared. Why bother answering tough questions when reporters will just write up your press release? popular.info/p/trump-ad-con…

Mark me down as INTRIGUED at the possibility of this woman on a debate stage with Donald Trump.

Harris is a stone cold killer here.
Being smart is an underrated quality in presidential candidates IMHO

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
