Musk Plans to Sue Colluders in Advertising Boycott
Following revelations of collusion within the Global Alliance for Responsible Media, Elon Musk announced plans to sue those involved in the advertising boycott against his social media platform X. The House Judiciary Committee exposed allegations of the GARM encouraging advertisers to withhold funds from conservative outlets. Musk cited evidence presented at a hearing and criticized GARM's purported brand safety standards as a cartel. In response to these developments, discussions on stifling conservative voices and the impact on social media regulations are heightened.

Amid concerns over Biden's leadership, Democratic lawmakers call for his resignation following debates on his candidacy and mental fitness. The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act passage in the House triggers debates on voter disenfranchisement, signaling potential challenges in the Senate and a veto threat from Biden.
