Vance is never going to be able to wash the Trump stink off.

Serves him right.

These dipshits need to get off Twitter and also get some media literacy. The whole fraud thing in Minnesota literally came from some troll on Twitter gaslighting Elon Musk.

The fraud concern being that Trump isn't getting the largest cut.

How is this finance news?

Anybody have recommendations on instances with financial news focusing on market information and US federal reserve updates?

It's a political threat. Less of a significant effect to the states economy or those national sized insurance operations who are scamming the medicare system anyway. Source: gestures broadly in the air.

Vance got together with other members of the adminstration and decided they are all assholes so have to pause some medicaid funding. Oh and reduce snap some more. They will find more asshole things later.

I haven't heard anything like this. Do you have any proof of the Trump administration commissioning videos like these?

It's fair enough to believe that it's likely, I guess.

I do think that with things like this, regardless of who's in power, it's far less likely that the administration tells or even asks people to push certain messages, than that people who are already aligned with the administration decide to push messaging that coincides with the interests of the administrations.

I think Nick Shirley's investigations have been helpful in shining a light on real issues, but it's pretty clear with where he decides to investigate that he has an agenda.

Regarding Musk, absolutely. Every CEO that Twitter/X has had manipulated the algorithm to push agendas and lied about it. Musk isn't exceptionally bad in that department, only disappointingly so.

Insofar as your take on Nick Shirley's videos, I'll agree to disagree on that.
