Classic bluster from @davidsacks and friends - hoax, fake news, etc. He complains @nytimes asked about a dinner not mentioned in the story and never mentions the All-in podcast trying to sell access to Trump. His pals say he is too rich to be corrupt - always the worst defense.
INSIDE NYT’S HOAX FACTORY Five months ago, five New York Times reporters were dispatched to create a story about my supposed conflicts of interest working as the White House AI & Crypto Czar. Through a series of “fact checks” they revealed their accusations, which we debunked

At 36% approval, a few congressional Republicans are beginning to tentatively and selectively criticize Trump. As he goes lower, more of them will regain their senses. And he will become even more dangerous, lawless, and unpredictable.

Where Might Trump’s Attacks on Universities Lead? Just Look at Florida... https://t.co/67huNPoZzv

Trump’s attacks on universities promise to “save” higher ed. That same logic from DeSantis has nearly destroyed The New College of Florida.
Two years ago, Governor Ron DeSantis engineered a conservative takeover of New College of Florida, a small progressive public institution in Sarasota. Even Republicans say it’s been a disaster. https://t.co/fajWJmnh2o
