I have followed @reformexposed for years but for months now its tweets never appear in my timeline. @elonmusk's algorithm is so deeply corrupt.

Yesterday, Twitter was full of MAGAs celebrating Trumps triumph in brokering the 'energy ceasefire'. This was, of course, a figment of the old boy's demented imagination and it fell apart in only a couple of hours. theguardian.com/world/live/2…

This one really got the MAGAs going. I haven't had to many angry, ungrammatical, obscenity laden responses to a tweet for ages!
