Excerpt of republican Rep. Ken Buck on "Face the Nation," Nov. 26, 2023
REP. BUCK: "Everybody who thinks that the election was stolen or talks about the election being stolen is LYING to America, and that's EVERYONE that is making that argument. Everyone who makes the argument that January 6 was, an unguided tour of the Capitol is LYING to America! Everyone who says that the prisoners who are being prosecuted right now for their involvement in January 6, that they are somehow political prisoners or that they didn't commit crimes, those folks are LYING to America.
As a Republican Party, if we're going to offer good solid policy answers to the real challenges we face in America, we've got to get past the lies!"

Elon Musk, in his first interview with mainstream media since his antisemitic post on X earlier this month, lashed out at advertisers leaving his platform because of rising antisemitism he allowed on X:
“I don’t want them to advertise,” Musk said tersely at the New York Times DealBook Summit in New York. “If someone is going to blackmail me with advertising or money, go f**k yourself. Go. F**k. Yourself,” he said.

But Musk's company has done little to reassure advertisers that its platform is safe.The pro-Nazi accounts identified by Media Matters remain active on the site, along with other far-right and White supremacist accounts, some of whom Musk had reinstated on the platform following his takeover. CNN on Wednesday observed ads for the University of Michigan running on the page of the X account belonging to Richard Spencer, a known White nationalist. (A University of Michigan spokesperson told CNN the university is “watching developments on X closely as we continue to evaluate our use of the platform.”)

“He’s using this language out of the Third Reich!"
HUFFPOST - Trump responded using phrases that echoed thepropaganda of Nazi Germany, Karl said. “He’s using this language,” Karl said, “This language out of the Third Reich — ‘enemy of the people.’” Karl said he asked the president if he was worried his supporters might take his words to heart, saying, “Aren’t you concerned they will act on them?” “Trump said, ‘I hope they take my words to heart. I believe the press is the enemy of the people,’” Karl remembered Trump telling him.
Karl said he is still trying to figure out what would make a person say things that could inspire others to lash out.
“Maybe it’s an inability to have any kind of empathy or understanding of the consequences of your words, but [his rhetoric] is consistent. That’s not new.”
Karl’s comments came after a wild weekend in which Trump, in the words of MSNBC host Joe Scarborough, went “full-on Hitler” and referred to political opponents as “vermin” during a Veterans Day speech in Claremont, N ew Hampshire.

Republican Patel reveals that if Trump is re-elected, justice department would be weaponized to prosecute journalists. Despite US constitution protecting freedom of the press to hold government accountable. In contrast, House GOP committee failed to find proof of weaponization of government against republicans under Biden administration. However plenty of evidences of weaponization under Trump administration. For example, attempts to overturn results of 2020 election.

Republican Ramaswamy unloads a string of conspiracy theories
CNN -
In what could be his last appearance on a GOP presidential debate stage, Ramaswamy gave the clearest voice yet to the EXTREME conspiracy wing of the Republican Party.
He unloaded a string of false, provocative conspiracy theories, touting himself as the only candidate in the race willing to embrace them.
Among those extremist theories: • Ramaswamy called the January 6, 2021, attack on the US Capitol by Trump supporters “an inside job.” • He said the 2020 election was “stolen by Big Tech.” • And he said the “great replacement” theory — a racist conspiracy theory that suggests non-White people are being brought to Western countries to replace White voters and achieve a political agenda — “is not some grand right-wing conspiracy theory, but a basic statement of the Democratic Party platform.”

The exodus from X is bleeding beyond just major advertisers.
In recent days, a number of prominent media brands have not only paused their paid marketing campaigns on the embattled Elon Musk-owned social platform, but have ceased posting on it altogether, going silent on the once essential site that sought to be the world’s “digital town square.”
The flagship accounts belonging to Disney, Paramount, Lionsgate, Sony Pictures, Universal, and Warner Bros. Discovery (CNN’s parent company) have not posted on the platform in roughly 10 days, following Musk’s disturbing endorsement of an antisemitic conspiracy theory.

With Musk at the helm of the platform for the foreseeable future overseeing the critical decisions that have led to a surge in hate speech (while also personally contributing himself to the awful rhetoric), the risk versus reward calculus on whether to engage with the company has taken a sharp nosedive. The situation is not dissimilar to when Tucker Carlson permanently chased most advertisers away from Fox News’ 8pm hour during his time at the network.

Elon Musk's Twitter violated contract by failing to pay millions in bonuses, US judge rules
A federal judge ruled Friday that Twitter, now known as X, breached its contract with employees when it failed to pay millions in promised bonuses last year.
The company promised employees half of their potential bonuses both before and after tech billionaire Elon Musk purchased the company in 2022, but never paid, according to the suit.
Mark Schobinger, then the company’s senior director of compensation, brought the lawsuit against Musk's social media platform in June.
X has faced multiple legal battles since Musk took over the company last year, including other fights on compensation, wrongful termination and discrimination claims.
