Elon Musk is wasting no time as Twitter’s new boss. The South African-born billionaire officially became Twitter’s new CEO Thursday evening and he wasted no time before addressing some concerns.

(RELATED: Elon Musk Reveals His Thoughts on Trump’s Twitter Ban) Earlier this year after Musk announced his plan to buy Twitter, Politico reported that “Gadde cried during [a] meeting as she expressed concerns about…
Donald Trump is giving Florida Governor Ron DeSantis the silent treatment. In what appears to be the latest signal of a rift between the two Republicans, Trump announced he plans to campaign for Florida Sen. Marco Rubio two days before Election Day, notably leaving DeSantis out of the event. Trump’s plan to hold a Nov. 6 rally in Miami shocked sources close to DeSantis who say the governor wasn’t notified of the event prior to the former president’s Wednesday announcement, according to Politico. The timing of the Trump and Rubio event means any campaign event DeSantis holds that day won’t…

The Phoenix Police Department is currently investigating an early Tuesday break-in at Hobbs’ campaign office as a “commercial burglary.” However, despite authorities noting only a few items were taken Hobbs wasted no time before pointing fingers at Lake. However, on Thursday authorities confirmed a suspect has been arrested in connection with the burglary. https://twitter.com/PhoenixPolice/status/1585675274347155456 https://twitter.com/MarissaSarbak/status/1585676087010287616 According to The Daily Caller, Phoenix police Sgt.

On Wednesday, a Washington state judge for the King County Superior Court ruled Meta must pay the maximum fine of $24.66 million for violating the state’s 1972 Fair Campaign Practices Act. The law requires ad sellers to publicize the names and addresses of those who purchase political ads, the ads’ target, how the ads were paid for, and the number of views on the ad. The law traditionally permits fines of up to $10,000 for each violation. Still, the…
On Wednesday, a judge handed Wisconsin’s Republican-led legislature a win by ruling incomplete absentee ballots will not be counted toward the elections. With less than two weeks until Election Day, Dane County Circuit Judge Nia Trammell ordered absentee ballots containing an incomplete witness address not to be counted out of concern tallying the ballot would “disrupt the status quo” and cause confusion. Originally, the Wisconsin Elections Commission said that an address must include three elements: a street number, street name, and municipality in order to be tallied. The Commission’s strict rules triggered The League of Women Voters of Wisconsin to…
Top Guatemalan officials are calling on President Joe Biden to reinforce the border before it’s too late. Guatemalan President Alejandro Giammattei accused Biden of rejecting his country’s proposal to help end the crisis at the border. According to The Washington Examiner, President Giammattei said he approached Administration officials with a plan for the United States to deport people heading north from Guatemala before they reach the U.S.-Mexico border but was rejected. Biden tapped Vice President Kamala Harris to handle efforts to secure the border but she has largely seemed to ignore the role and has notably never visited the border. “Having…

However, the case ended in a mistrial in 2017 after the jury failed to…
