There are reports that Trump's immigration raids may target San Antonio. We know from history that mass deportation raids can lead to the arrest, detention, and deportation of even American citizens. First, know your legal rights (in English and Spanish below). 1/

Elon Musk doing the Nazi salute at Trump’s inauguration rally. Did it twice, actually. Don’t waste time arguing with the people telling us that’s not what happened. They’re not mistaken, they are engaged in propaganda. Faced with authoritarianism in power, it is crucial we trust our own eyes.

Trump's proposal is to save TikTok is to give the federal government, run by him, direct control over TikTok. What could go wrong?

I’m asking companies not to let TikTok stay dark! I will issue an executive order on Monday to extend the period of time before the law’s prohibitions take effect, so that we can make a deal to protect our national security. The order will also confirm that there will be no liability for any company that helped keep TikTok from going dark before my order.

Americans deserve to see our exciting Inauguration on Monday, as well as other events and conversations.

I would like the United States to have a 50% ownership position in a joint venture. By doing this, we save TikTok, keep it in good hands and allow it to say up. Without U.S. approval, there is no Tik Tok. With our approval, it is worth hundreds of billions of dollars - maybe trillions.

Therefore, my initial thought is a joint venture between the current owners and/or new owners whereby the U.S. gets a 50% ownership in a joint venture set up between the U.S. and whichever purchase we so choose.

Please, if you’re in Oklahoma, make your voice heard! Changing the history and science standards to “strengthen your biblical beliefs” are not only wrong HISTORICALLY & SCIENTIFICALLY, but should be illegal. Walters is a disgrace to public education and needs to GO.

I’m willing to bet it’s because Meta and Musk aren’t interested in buying either of those.

So what you’re saying is that the government cares more about banning Tik Tok than they do about banning assault weapons in our schools…..got it. 🙄

It’s 25 degrees in Kansas City where the Chiefs and Texans are playing for a full stadium. Guess it’s only dangerous when it’s an inauguration.
