A former senior aide to Mitch McConnell and RandPaul was convicted after being found guilty of helping to funnel illegal foreign campaign contributions from a Russian national into Trump's 2016 campaign.

Really important thing you need to know about Mastodon: You don't need to use the official app!
There are some good third party apps listed on Mastodon's own site:
➡️ https://joinmastodon.org/apps
The third party apps have more features and had way more development time.
Android users might want to start with Tusky and Fedilab
iPhone/iPad users might want to read this: https://transponderings.blog/2022/05/21/eight-mastodon-apps-for-iphone/
Mastodon is an open platform, so third party apps can use its features fully.
