The debate comes less than two months after Twitter restored Trump’s account, but Meta’s intention to reevaluate the decision predates Twitter’s reversal. “I can’t think of what that rigorous standard would be that would make this policy be applied fairly, not just to former President Trump, but to any politician.”Is Trump bound to Truth Social?

Two current Twitter employees told CNN on Thursday that they plan to reject the ultimatum, citing a toxic work environment they say the billionaire has introduced. Musk told employees his goal is to build “Twitter 2.0” and that employees who choose to stay will be required to commit to working “long hours at high intensity” and presumably agreeing to Musk’s demand for Twitter employees, who have been largely working remotely, to return to in-office work. Another Twitter employee, who asked not to be quoted, shared similar concerns and said they planned to also exit the company. “People can’t overlook the public mockery and firing of other employees,” the former employee told CNN. Employees working in the United States from other countries could also risk losing their work visas if they leave the company.

House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy said if the GOP wins the House they may not be as forthcoming with Ukraine aid. His comments suggested bipartisan support for aiding Ukraine could be waning. "I think people are gonna be sitting in a recession and they're not going to write a blank check to Ukraine," McCarthy told Punchbowl News. Some saw the comments as a sign that the broad bipartisan support for aiding Ukraine could be waning. Kinzinger said he thought McCarthy's comments were intended to appeal to the extreme members of the Republican party.
