Facebook’s new ads policy allows politicians to run demonstrably false advertising on its platform. I don’t think that’s right.

Last night, I sent a letter to Mark Zuckerberg calling on @Facebook to reverse this decision.
If Facebook is going to use third-party fact-checkers to identify violations of its ads policies, then it can’t exempt politicians. If anything, politicians should be held to a higher standard of truth and accuracy.
I also want to commend the hundreds of Facebook employees who have stood up and said that Facebook should not be profiting off misinformation and the erosion of our civil discourse. nytimes.com/2019/10/28/tec…
Speaking truth to power like that takes courage. Mr. Zuckerberg should listen to his team and recognize that with Facebook’s enormous power comes enormous responsibility.

Qassem Soleimani was an enemy of the United States who was responsible for violence across the Middle East and the deaths of thousands of people, including hundreds of Americans. He should not be mourned.
We need to be prepared for the long-term potential consequences of this action, starting with protecting U.S. military and diplomatic personnel and other Americans in the region.
Presidential administrations of both parties have traditionally consulted with Congress before conducting strategically significant military actions...

FINALLY some good news for military families who’ve faced dangerous living conditions in privatized military housing. The Senate just passed defense legislation including my military housing accountability legislation and a tenants bill of rights for military families.
I’ve heard gut-wrenching stories from servicemembers and their families and seen firsthand mold and insect-infested conditions that no one should ever be exposed to.
Military families shouldn’t have to worry that their homes might make their families sick, nor should they feel powerless when facing companies charged with providing high-quality housing.

Today’s SASC hearing once again exposed the desperate need for significant reforms to privatized military housing. Health hazards that Tim and I saw when we visited Ft. Belvoir earlier this year still haven't been fixed; military families are still facing unacceptable conditions.
The services have increased their efforts, but it’s not enough. We need fundamental changes – more oversight and accountability for both the military and private housing contractors.
The NDAA, which includes many provisions of my military housing reform legislation, will help drive these reforms forward. We need to pass it ASAP.

#Facebook claims it has removed accounts operated by the website BL that are linked to The Epoch Media Group. They are wrong in making such a connection.

By @StephenEpoch (Thread 👇) theepochtimes.com/facebook-errs-…
#Facebook did not contact Epoch Media Group before stating there is a relationship between Epoch Media Group and the BL.

In a statement published on its website, @Facebook says:
The @EpochTimes and The BL media companies are unaffiliated. The BL was founded by a former employee, and employs some of our former employees.

However, that some of our former employees work for BL is not evidence of any connection between the two organizations.

#Facebook's new political ads policy spells trouble for #2020. FB's only Dutch fact-checker just quit over the new 'lies are ok" policy. If legislators don't tackle this, we won't have a fair #2020 election or impeachment process. @Narativlive theguardian.com/technology/201…
@NarativLive 2. In a series of posts on narativ.org in 2017 I exposed how Facebook became a political propaganda machine to elect #Trump. I detailed how autocrats, theocrats and foreign intelligence disrupted democracy @narativlive #WednesdayWisdom #2020 narativ.org/2017/09/12/fac…
3. Trump+Facebook polarized Americans by amplifying extremism on social issues. I exposed how #Russia and her US church affiliates inflamed tensions over #lgbtq issues on #Facebook. @narativlive #WednesdayWisdom narativ.org/2017/09/27/div…

(1) I inadvertently ran a human-targeting field test of the oblong, tower-mounted transmitters while crossing nearly 900 miles of the US in the past two days.

Last night they fried me for nearly 10 hours. It is obvious they r monitoring brain-wave patterns, and when ....

My cat, which normally wants to hide under the covers of the bed when we travel, was mewling and bouncing off the walls.

I had to wrap her in wet towels.

(3) driving I could feel the hits, tingling and heat BEFORE I could see the tower.

It appears to be quasi-directional, and I can feel the hits from 2.5 to 3 miles out, from transmitters mounted at approx. 100-120 meters above the ground.

Even in very rural areas, I still ....
