Summary

On Thursday night, Twitter banned a number of prominent journalists who had reported on Elon Musk and in some cases criticized him. Retiring anti-Trump Republican congressman Adam Kinzinger of Illinois used the occasion of his farewell address from Congress to slam his fellow Republicans for sheltering “the ignorant, the racist.” On Thursday, when Trump announced that he was launching a series of $99 digital trading cards with some truly disastrous graphic design, even QAnon supporters turned on the former president. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen, the 28,000-member union of railroad workers ousted their president who supported the Biden labor deal.
