I received an email yesterday from an attorney, demanding I remove Tweets in which I noted that Sherrilyn Fisher, wife of @KennethLFisher, is the largest individual donor to Republicans, $2.8 million according to @OpenSecretsDC. opensecrets.org/elections-over…
I deleted my previous Tweets to clarify Sherrilyn Fisher's $2.8 mil donation to Republicans.

"neither Ken nor Sherri Fisher has ever made any donation - whether directly or through any entity, whether of funds or anything of value - to Doug Mastriano or any campaign of his..."
Lucas Kunce is running for U.S. Senator from Missouri.

I have asked the Fishers' attorney whether any of Sherrilyn Fisher's reported $2.8 donations to Republicans went to Republicans who turned their backs on veterans who were exposed to toxic burn pits.

Email sent to me yesterday appears to have come from Pat Cipollone’s law firm.
“Who talks like this?” Email to me came from law firm where Pat Cipollone is listed as a partner.

I have asked Navy SEAL veteran @derrickvanorden, GOP candidate for Congress from #Wisconsin, and recipient of donations from Sherrilyn Fisher, for comment on Republicans in Washington blocking a bill that would aid veterans exposed to toxic burn pits. militarytimes.com/news/burn-pits…
I noticed that Sherrilyn Fisher hasn't made any federal contributions since March. I asked the Fishers' lawyer if the Fishers are concerned about reputation damage stemming from Mrs. Fisher's standing as top individual federal contributor to Republicans, 2022 election cycle?
I emailed this question to the Fishers' attorney today at the law firm where Pat Cipollone is a partner. I will report if I receive a response.

🎆NEW by me for @HillReporter:

X / Twitter has promised advertisers brand safety. But several companies and orgs told me they had concerns after their ads appeared next to pro-Hitler and antisemitic content.

Does brand safety exist for advertisers on X?

A spokesperson for Edmunds, a division of CarMax $KMX, messaged me, “Like all other X advertisers, Edmunds does not control when or where the ads may appear to users as they use the platform,”
after Edmunds' ad had appeared next to an antisemitic post. hillreporter.com/does-brand-saf…
A.T. Still University messaged me after its ad appeared next to a pro-Hitler video post:

"ATSU was unaware of X’s placement and will seriously consider withdrawing advertising on the site. ATSU unequivocally condemns antisemitism, all forms of hate speech, and discrimination." Image

Stephen Miller is behind America First Legal’s racist hashtag #DemolishDEI. Miller was Trump’s senior racist advisor.

Elon Musk boosted Miller’s election denial BS on @X last week. Musk is dedicated to spreading racism. Don’t do business with Musk’s @X. Image
Stephen Miller and Elon Musk are a toxic racist pair. Don’t do business with @X. #DemolishDEI
Stephen Miller is plotting his vile racist agenda for Trump's next term. And now partnering with Elon Musk's X on racist hashtag #DemolishDEI. Companies working with @X are funding Trump's racist agenda. Renounce your partnership with Musk, @NBA @Shopify. vanityfair.com/news/2023/11/s…

Shopify has announced a partnership with Elon Musk's @X. I asked @Shopify how it reconciles Shopify's commitment to diversity with Elon Musk's attack on DEI. Musk said 'DEI must DIE' and called it 'discrimination.' The CEO of Shopify @tobi blocked me. My question to $SHOP stands. Image
How does @Shopify reconcile its commitment to diversity with Elon Musk's attack on DEI, diversity and inclusion? @X has announced a new partnership with $SHOP
What is David King III's comment about @Shopify's new partnership with Elon Musk's @X? Mr. King is Head of Diversity for Shopify. Musk said 'DEI must DIE' and called DEI initiatives 'discrimination. Comment from David King III or $SHOP CEO @tobi? Image

Yesterday, GOP Sen. JD Vance and Elon Musk called out Mark Cuban and the @dallasmavs on diversity and inclusion. Musk called DEI ‘the definition of racism.’

In Nov, Media Matters reported that ads on X for the @NBA Mexico appeared next to posts with white nationalist hashtags.

Both Elon Musk and JD Vance were apparently triggered by Mark Cuban's thread in support of DEI, diversity, equity and inclusion. So they clapped back at Cuban with silly questions about the @dallasmavs, the @NBA team Cuban owns.
In November, Media Matters reported that ads for the @NBA Mexico appeared next to white nationalist posts on X. Screenshots showed NBA superstars Stephen Curry and Victor Wembanyama next to white nationalist posts. Elon Musk sued @mmfa for its reporting.

🚨"Elon Musk is threatening to sue the Anti-Defamation League for defamation, claiming that the nonprofit organization’s statements about rising hate speech on the social media platform have torpedoed X’s advertising revenue." - @CNN

Elon blames the Jews. 👇

The post saying 'f___ the jews' was apparently deleted last evening -- after garnering nearly 2 million views in 3 days. Image
When I posted a question about the 'f___ the jews' post, I received an email from @X, saying my Tweet had violated rules against Hateful Conduct, and visibility would be limited.

Why didn't the 'f___ the jews' Tweet violate rules against Hateful Conduct?

Twitter X CEO @lindayaX is a scheduled speaker at @voxmedia's Code Conference, Sept 26-27.

Hosted by @verge EiC Nilay Patel @reckless, @platformer Founder @CaseyNewton & @CNBC senior correspondent @JBoorstin.

Why is this post still up? Does it violate @X Hateful Conduct Policy? Image
Twitter @X Hateful Conduct policy here:

"we prohibit behavior that targets individuals or groups with abuse based on their perceived membership in a protected category [like religion or race]."

With neo-Nazis marching in Florida, are companies putting their brands at risk by advertising on Elon Musk's Twitter X, a site that allows posts like 'F___ the jews'?
