Here we gooo...another hearing on the Biden Censorship Regime of 2018, from Ted Cruz. Ted begins by alleging that under the guise of "quote misinformation" govt was the arbiter of truth. He claims A Berenson could prove govt censored him; court dismissed B's case. [www.youtube.com/watch?v=bshN...]( ) [Part II of Shut Your App: How ...]( )

Grokipedia: Just Asking Questions The Twitter Files entry is surreal lol. “Well here is the law, and the documents, and what the FBI did…but have you considered that Michael Shellenberger wrote some shit?” It’s like an incredibly verbose Conservapedia. [grokipedia.com/page/Twitter...](

Here she is. Tucker Carlson: “If the vaccine is effective and you take it, then why does it matter if I take it?” Cheryl Hines: “It doesn’t make any sense.” Tucker: “So ‘my body, my choice’ was not a real thing, it turned out.” “It’s your body, my choice.” Cheryl: “Yeah, your body, my choice.” https://morel.us-east.host.bsky.network/xrpc/com.atproto.sync.getBlob?did=did:plc:5bnbgj7gwebt6hhub4pa5c7n&cid=bafkreiemltppm7g3ozzgvergaq3c6a6vnorq2cluc2kh3w2kmkbtehbi6q
