Ingraham: A little update on a story we brought you this week about homeless vets being displaced from hotels so illegals can move in, turns out the group behind the claim made it up. We have no clue why anyone would do such a thing

Oops, I left out possibly the most obvious and important influence to For You timelines. “What tweets did the people I follow recently engage with “ It stands to reason that the person with the greatest number of followers will have the greatest influence on the most number… Show more

I thought about that as well. Lots of followers create influence. But they don't control who is featured to get more followers, as he can with his account. We don't get to set the rules. There are lots of things on Twitter that only Elon can do. That's the difference

2023. Where calls a woman shrill and calls a Black man’s “physical mannerisms aggressive” . Such blatant sexist and racist tropes and sooooooo obvious for them. Elon and MTG just such basic bottom of the barrel racists/sexists. What a time to be alive. 🙄

Literally exactly what we said happened. But please yammer on ignorantly.
