A spokesman for #JStreet, accused Aipac of attempting to impose a narrow definition of what it is to be pro-Israel:

#Aipac may hope to silence and intimidate political leaders who believe that settlement expansion, endless conflict and permanent occupation are harmful to Israel, the Palestinian people and US interests. Ultimately, however, these common-sense views are too popular, widespread and important to be suppressed.”

Seven reasons Georgians voted for #HerschelWalker.:

70% - I always vote Repuglican.
8% - I love football and recognize his name
7% - Own the libs
5% - To continue the turmoil of the 50-50 Senate
4% - A friend or family member recommended.
1% - He’s black
5% - His moral character and values (violent mysogynist)
0% - His policy suggestions. Are there any?

What else?

These are totally fabricated off the top of my head. Do you have real numbers?

#ElonMusk has made his leanings quite clear recently. He has de-platformed left leaning accounts and a/cs that criticise him. He even caused problems for candidates in the #2022Midterms (I think he blocked posts of one candidate...my memory is dreadful though so don't quote me). He stated months ago that he would reinstate #Trumps a/c though. He has a reputation he does not deserve and is in melt-down now people are finding out.
