  Twitter At yesterday's House Weaponization of the Federal Government Committee hearing, Rep. Harriet Hageman (R-WY) spoke to Matt Taibbi about the FBI's relationship with Twitter. The relationship between tech companies and the federal government has been a topic of concern for many Americans, especially when it comes to issues of free speech and censorship. In a recent hearing, journalist Matt Taibbi testified about the findings of his investigation into the cooperation between Twitter and government agencies, specifically the FBI. Taibbi described how the growing network of federal agencies and tech companies was focused on identifying individuals whose opinions or beliefs were deemed to be misinformation, disinformation, or malinformation. Notably, he pointed out that the word "unlawful" was missing from this list, indicating that the focus was on speech rather than any actual illegal activity. According to Taibbi, the FBI would routinely request that Twitter tak

Donald Trump In a video released to social media, former President Trump detailed his plan to wage "war" on the Mexican drug cartels.

Trump proposes a range of measures to tackle the issue, including restoring strong border security, deploying military assets, imposing a naval embargo on the cartels, using special forces and cyber warfare, designating the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations, severing their access to global financial systems, and forging partnerships with neighboring governments in the region. It's worth noting that some of the measures proposed by Trump, such as designating the cartels as foreign terrorist organizations
