The new owner of Twitter, @elonmusk, is peddling in far-right conspiracy theories around the attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul.

So, content moderation tribunal or not, this is where we are. @yoyoel this seems counter to the twitter rules, no?

Breaking: Oklahoma Republican Congressman Markwayne Mullin is missing after traveling to Afghanistan on a rogue mission with "large amount of cash."

The same Markwayne Mullin that's possibly getting to know the Taliban right now, was hiding from American "tourists" on Jan 6. Since Markwayne Mullin decided to take himself a bunch of cash and play Rambo trying to get around in Afghanistan alone, not a single American troop should be sent in to rescue him. If we can't rescue another Afghan journalist, we can't rescue an idiot GQP congressman.

I think this tweet by @Killmoenews1 exemplifies why traditional media orgs have a hard time making room for citizen spot reporting... This kind of mistake is unacceptable.

Everyone is reporting that the mother and 2-year-old child shot in the head are expected to survive. Especially since the tweet was deleted ~20 minutes after being posted and still no correction.
