Study Suggests.
On April 24, a study was published which found that Twitter accounts operated by authoritarian governments
have benefited from recent changes to the platform.
Associated Press reports that the study
suggests that changes to Twitter made it easier
for them to attract new followers and
disseminate propaganda and misinformation.
One of those changes include
no longer labeling state-run
media and propaganda agencies.
.
The other change is no longer preventing
content from those agencies from being
automatically recommended to users.
According to the study by Reset,
Russian state media accounts have seen
their views climb by 33% in recent weeks.
.
AP reports that increase equals
over 125,000 views per post.
Meanwhile, state media agencies
run by Iran and China have also
seen similar increases in views.
.
The use of state-run media labels was quietly
discontinued after NPR and other outlets
protested receiving the same mark.

In a dramatic Independence Day twist, Elon Musk hinted at launching a new third political party in the United States, directly challenging Donald Trumpās influence over the Republican base. Speaking during a July 4 livestream, Musk criticized both major parties as corrupt and incapable of solving Americaās problems, declaring the need for āfresh leadershipā rooted in technology and transparency.

A political firestorm has erupted after Elon Musk publicly declared his support for Rep. Thomas Massie, a Republican from Kentucky who has drawn the ire of Donald Trump. Massie, known for opposing Trumpās One Big Beautiful Bill and calling out recent Iran strikes as unconstitutional, now finds himself targeted by Trump in a fiery GOP primary feud.
Trump labeled Massie a āpathetic loserā and vowed to campaign hard against him. However, Muskās financial support and vocal backing on X could change the game. Former Rep. Justin Amash and grassroots conservatives have also rallied behind Massie, portraying him as a principled fiscal conservative resisting bloated spending. With nearly $309K raised in just a week, Massieās campaign gains momentum amid the MAGA-driven backlash. The battle now highlights a deeper rift in the Republican Party ā between loyalty to Trump and commitment to independent conservative values.

A massive new tax and spending bill, championed by Donald Trump as his "big, beautiful bill," has cleared major congressional hurdles and is now facing a final, contentious vote. The legislation proposes a sweeping overhaul of the US economy, extending Trump's 2017 tax cuts while significantly boosting defense and energy spending and allocating new funds for border security. This move has ignited a political firestorm in Washington D.C., creating deep divisions not only between parties but within the Republican ranks and even straining Trump's relationship with high-profile supporters like Elon Musk.
The funding for this ambitious bill is at the heart of the controversy. The Republican proposal outlines deep cuts to essential social safety nets, including Medicaid, the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), and other low-income assistance programs. According to the Congressional Budget Office, these changes could result in nearly 12 million Americans losing their health coverage. The bill also introduces new work requirements for childless, able-bodied adults to receive Medicaid and SNAP benefits.
The financial implications are staggering. The bill is projected to add an estimated $3.3 trillion to the national debt over the next decade, a figure that has caused alarm and division among fiscal conservatives in the GOP. Social Democrats like Bernie Sanders have fiercely condemned the bill, labeling it a "handout to Trumpās rich allies." In a tense Senate session, Vice President JD Vance had to cast a tie-breaking vote to advance the legislation.
Despite the backlash, the bill contains provisions aimed at working-class voters, such as eliminating federal taxes on tips and overtime pay. However, House Democrats have blasted the legislation as a "reckless, regressive GOP tax scam" ahead of the crucial midterm elections. As the final vote looms, Trump has urged Republican lawmakers to "stay united" and pass the bill, which also includes a provision to raise the debt ceiling by $5 trillion.

Elon Musk has stepped down from leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), handing the reins to conservative policy strategist Russell Vought. A key Trump ally, Vought is best known for shaping Project 2025 and pushing aggressive spending cuts and federal downsizing. He aims to revive Trumpās Schedule F and slash budgets at agencies like USAID and NPR. Musk, who reportedly wants to focus on Tesla and SpaceX, had worked closely with Vought during DOGEās early days. Critics warn Vought's Christian nationalist leanings and military spending cuts may spark major backlash.
