Per pool, Biden tonight at a fundraiser in New York: “First time since the Cuban missile crisis, we have the threat of a nuclear weapon if in fact things continue down the path they are going. We are trying to figure out, What is Putin’s off ramp? Where does he find a way out?”

Just sitting around, thinking about how good an in-character Marge Simpson podcast would be.

Simpsons podcast universe would redeem the show. Marge’s podcast could be incredible.

So does Musk actually have funding secured??? (sorry) Twitter won't agree to close because it is skeptical Musk has the money. They got testimony from a Musk lender who said he hadn't alerted them of his plan to close, or sent a “borrowing notice"

My take: --He's lying again ("Intends to close"); --Asked twtr to disarm unilaterally (suspend case); and --Tried to insert financing contingency, setting pre-text to walk (again). twtr not biting (see above: he's lying)

We know the White House has Kumar’s number, and I’m sure he knows how to get in touch with Harold.

Absolutely shocked by how nonchalant the rollout of this weed rescheduling news is. This was the lowest hanging fruit of popular stuff for him to do and they just... tweeted it out? Can't believe they didn't secretly get Snoop, Willie Nelson and Pete Davidson on a single podium.

KFAB talk show host Ian Swanson, a former staffer for U.S. Sen. Ben Sasse, R-Neb., opened his show today by saying Sasse is resigning his post to take a job leading an academic institution. Still no official confirmation. The silence from multiple sources is unusual. Will update.

Prof Starbird is the Real Deal and it’s just awful that these rinse and repeat tactics, coupling lies with mob harassment, keep targeting good people who are doing good work.

Hey friends. I wanted to share that I’m going thru something here. Due to the way social and other media ecosystems systems are designed, this may be invisible to you, but over the past few days I've become the target of harassment mobilized by right wing media/influencers.

Kate is one of the best disinformation researchers out there. Depressing to see her team become the target of this kind of mob harassment

I will gladly eat crow for this, but I think the edit button might help curtail some viral lies. If you tweet something you later learn is false, and it's still viral anyway, you can correct it instead of the current will-they/won't-they delete dance.

Typos in the middle of threads, I guess? Correcting stuff you got duped on that you only realized later while the tweet is still viral?
