Elon Musk is facing claims of enabling election misinformation on X from the election campaign of President Joe Biden and the White House. It comes as the tech billionaire is on the hot seat for making false claims about voting.
The White House stated that it was closely monitoring the investigation by Mexican authorities into the homicide of Shanquella Robinson last October. The attorneys for her family sent a letter asking for more action on Monday, and included a letter from authorities issuing a warrant for the woman who was caught on video assaulting the 25-year-old.

National Security Council staffers and White House press secretary Jen Psaki gathered 30 TikTok stars via Zoom Thursday, March 10th for a briefing on the war between Russia and Ukraine. Since Russia invaded Ukraine late last month, TikTok became an unlikely source of real-time information for millions around the world. While the app has proven to be a useful tool for reporters, its algorithm has also harbored dangerous misinformation and Russian propaganda. Psaki led the briefing alongside Matt Miller, a special adviser for communications at the White House National Security Council. In a recording obtained by The Washington Post, Biden officials emphasized the influence these creators have in online discussions surrounding the crisis. “We recognize this is a critically important aven...
Source: BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI / Getty For nearly four years, we have watched in horror as Donald Trump, and his cronies stepped up to the people’s podium in the White House briefing room and spewed lies. One reporter has had enough and finally asked Trump the question his fellow colleagues should have been asked him. Huffington Post journalist, Shirish (S.V.) Dáte risked it all yesterday during Donald Trump’s rally events disguised as “coronavirus briefings” and asked Trump the one question honestly we have all wanted to ask the orange menace. When Date got called on by the so-called president to present his question, he asked: “Mr. President, after three-and-a-half years, do you regret at all, all the lying you’ve done to the American people? On everything?” You can literally see the questio...
On Friday, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany claimed that the animated children’s show Paw Patrol has been put down, an unfortunate victim of liberal cancel culture run amok. For some small children, this would indeed be ruff rough news, but luckily for them, it’s a lie.

After George Floyd was brutally murdered by cops, some (mostly joking) Twitter users called for Paw Patrol to turn in its badge. This led to a relatively nuanced piece in the New York Times called “The Protests...
