people believe that you can't be critical of a president without continuing to support him i disagree entirely the reverse happens to be true healthy respect for a president and for a republic such as ours requires a healthy skepticism and the ability to say you're wrong once in a while all presidencies you see reflect a mixture and amalgamation of many ideas for many different sources many different uh... forces and people some of them are good some of these are very bad presidents are influenced by many factors it's true for donald trump now i came across this article the other day voter remorse forty five percent say it would be better if camila harris had won it's shocking many voters including some who voted for president trump last november now think the country would be in a better situation god forbid if camila harris had won this is shocking by the way the latest raspy simple finds that forty five percent of likely u_s_ voters believe america would be better off now if harris had won the presidential election last year that shocking ten percent of not sure but remarkably sixteen percent of those who voted for trump sixteen percent of those who voted for trump now say america would be better off if harris had one seventy four percent of democrats believe the country would be better off now if harris had been elected president as do twenty two percent of republicans and he is shocking thirty seven percent of voters not affiliated with either major party now say the country will be better off from harris had won this is shocking it's alarming it's going in the wrong direction for president trump and for the republican party now i don't know how accurate this poll is but i thought it was the perfect time to look at what would have happened if trump didn't win in twenty twenty four it would have been a nightmare so i treated this the other day and i said what would have happened if harris had won and i got hundreds of thousands of impressions from people like yourself who commented even elon musk elon musk commented for the first time in all my years of treating and he said it would have been game over that was a very big deal for all of us elon musk responded to michael savage and said game over it would have been game over and it would have been game over if camel i had one here is what would have happened i wrote it's pretty alarming but you better think about it carefully one millions of more illegals would have come over the border if you don't think it's bad now would have been really much worse when biden harris or ruling biden promised a gentler approach to immigration and then biden administration officials struggle to control the southern border even democrats rebelled as these illegal immigrants floating through an open border putting a strain on every part of our lives i've been covering the border for for years and so i know this is not a problem that started with your administration but there was and historic flood of undocumented immigrants coming across the border the first three years of your administration as a matter of fact arrivals quadrupled from the last year of president trump was it a mistake to loosen the immigration policies as much as you did it's a long-standing problem and solutions are at hand and from day one literally we have been offering solutions what i was asking was was it a mistake to kind of allow that flood to happen in the first place since returning to office in twenty twenty five president trump has taken major steps to reshape immigration policy and enforcement fulfilling his promise to execute quote the largest domestic deportation operation in u_s_ history ice and border patrol uh... n_d_h_s_ have done a phenomenal job of removing uh... tens of thousands of them uh... actually nearly one million people have been deported from our country over the past year uh... two million additional self-deportation so nearly three million people have left the united states uh... but again as you pointed out rightfully joe biden and the democrats allowed approximately twenty million people into our country illegally uh... so yes of course the president is committed to ensuring that america is and always will be a nation of loss now you know what happened with ice the left was motivated the left was funded the left rioted the left committed insurrection and provoked the border agents and unfortunately too american citizens were killed and i think that shifted the dialogue unfortunately against immigration enforcement number two number two god forbid had harris won two billions more in health and welfare for fraud the department of health and human services office of inspector general recently participated with key federal state law enforcement partners in the twenty twenty five national health care fraud takedown we are announcing today charges against three hundred and twenty four defendants for their alleged participation in health care fraud schemes involving approximately fourteen point six billion dollars in false claims submitted to medicare medicaid and other health care programs today's enforcement action represents the largest health care fraud takedown in american history this action resulted in criminal charges against three hundred twenty four criminal defendants with intended losses exceeding fourteen point six billion dollars making it the largest health care fraud takedown in u_s_ department of justice history and doubling the previous record of six billion dollars let's not forget what else would have gone on with deficit spending on the harris the congressional budget office c_b_o_ announced that the twenty twenty four fiscal year federal budget deficit the amount of government spent over above what it received total revenue was one point eight trillion dollars that makes the biden harris administration by far the biggest deficit spenders in modern history worse yet biden harris also wasted more money than any other administration roughly one trillion dollars not according to michael savage but according to the government accountability office g_a_o_ the biden harris four-year deficit total was seven point six five trillion dollars roughly fifty percent more than donald trump's four-year deficit total of five point five six trillion and that figure included one three point three trillion spent in the fiscal year twenty twenty the first year of the pandemic had trumps fourth year deficit bid in the general range of his first three years it's his total deficit spending would have been about three point five trillion which is less than half of biden harris's actual four-year deficit number three actually one criminals would have been released

medically necessary i'm not gonna put myself in the position of a doctor harris has consistently supported the equality act which aims to provide comprehensive protections against discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity blah blah blah harris supports the biden harris administration's interpretation that title nine's prohibition of sex-based discrimination includes sexual orientation and gender identity which means that trans gender students should have supremacy over our normal students in plain english let's not twist the facts that's what it really means that if

A scanned official letter on Federal Trade Commission letterhead, addressed from the Office of the Chairman to Apple CEO Tim Cook, regarding potential FTC Act violations related to Apple News suppressing or promoting articles for political reasons. The page shows the FTC seal, the letterhead, the addressee block, a bolded/underlined "Re:" subject line, the salutation, three body paragraphs explaining the FTC's consumer protection role, Apple News, and Section 5 of the FTC Act, and five footnotes citing legal sources.

One Apple Park Way Cupertino, CA 95014 tcook@apple.com Re: Potential FTC Act Violations Related to Suppressing or Promoting Featured News Articles for Political Reasons Dear Mr. Cook, The Federal Trade Commission ("FTC") is the nation's consumer protection agency responsible for protecting American consumers from unfair or deceptive acts or practices. As part of its mission, the agency brings law-enforcement actions and educates businesses, industries, and market participants about compliance with the laws the FTC enforces. The FTC understands that Apple Inc. ("Apple") is a global technology company that offers consumer electronics, software, and online services and applications, including in the United States. Apple News is one of Apple's many products and services. Apple News aggregates stories from newspapers, magazines, and digital publications, and curates those stories to provide consumers with a digital news feed. Apple News comes pre-installed on many Apple devices, including the iPhone and iPad, and purports to be the most used news app in the United States.¹ Section 5 of the FTC Act prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices.² A representation is deceptive under the FTC Act if it is material and would likely mislead consumers acting reasonably under the circumstances.³ The FTC Act prohibits both material misrepresentations and material omissions.⁴ An act or practice is unfair if it causes or is likely to cause substantial injury to consumers that cannot reasonably be avoided, and that injury is not outweighed by countervailing benefits to consumers or competition.⁵ Last year, the FTC issued a request for ___________________ ¹ See Apple, 2025 Marked a Record-Breaking Year for Apples Services, Apple Newsroom (Jan. 12, 2026), https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2026/01/2025-marked-a-record-breaking-year-for-apples-services/. ² 15 U.S.C. § 45(a). ³ See Fed. Trade Comm'n, Policy Statement on Deception (1983) (appended to Cliffdale Assocs., Inc., 103 F.T.C. 110 (1984)). Among other requirements, the FTC Act requires that representations be truthful, non-misleading, and adequately substantiated. See id.; FTC v. Direct Mktg. Concepts, Inc., 624 F.3d 1, 8 (1st Cir. 2010). ⁴ Policy Statement on Deception, supra n. 3. ⁵ 15 U.S.C. § 45(n); see Fed.

A screenshot of page 2 of a formal legal/government document (an official letter with footnotes), discussing a Federal Trade Commission inquiry into "Big Tech" and Apple News. The body text argues that the First Amendment does not shield Big Tech companies from FTC Act liability for suppressing or promoting news content based on ideological viewpoint, cites Apple News's terms of service, and references reports/studies claiming Apple News has promoted left-leaning outlets while excluding conservative-leaning sources. It closes with a paragraph in which the writer states they "abhor and condemn any attempt to censor content for ideological reasons." Eight numbered footnotes at the bottom cite sources including the FTC, court cases, Apple News's terms, a New York Post article, and a Median Research Center blog post. Page number "2" appears centered at the bottom.
Text in image: public comment to better understand how Big Tech companies and platforms deny or degrade consumers' access to services or information based on the content of speech or their affiliations, including in ways that may violate Section 5 of the FTC Act.⁶ The First Amendment protects the speech of Big Tech firms. But the First Amendment has never extended its protection to material misrepresentations made to consumers, nor does it immunize speakers from conduct that Congress has deemed unfair under the FTC Act, even if that conduct involves speech.⁷ Accordingly, Big Tech companies that suppress or promote news articles in their news aggregators or feeds based on the perceived ideological or political viewpoint of the article or publication may violate the FTC Act if that suppression or promotion (1) is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of service; (2) is contrary to consumers' reasonable expectations such that failure to disclose the ideological favoritism is a material omission; or (3) when those practices cause substantial injury that is neither reasonably avoidable nor outweighed by countervailing benefits to consumers or competition. As you know, Apple News has instituted terms of service and policies covering its relationship with existing and prospective consumers. These terms of service and policies address a wide range of topics including, among other things, the content of the site, a consumer's use of the site, prohibited conduct, privacy and data security, and dispute resolution.⁸ Recently, there have been reports that Apple News has systematically promoted news articles from left-wing news outlets and suppressed news articles from more conservative publications.⁹ Indeed, multiple studies have found that in recent months Apple News has chosen not to feature a single article from an American conservative-leaning news source, while simultaneously promoting hundreds of articles from liberal publications.¹⁰ These reports raise serious questions about whether Apple News is acting in accordance with its terms of service and its representations to consumers, as well as the reasonable consumer expectations of the tens of millions of Americans who use Apple News. As an American citizen, I abhor and condemn any attempt to censor content for ideological reasons. Such efforts, whether taken to appease overzealous activists, at the behest of foreign ___ ⁶ Fed.

This is page 3 of a formal typed letter on official letterhead-style formatting from the Federal Trade Commission, signed by Andrew N. Ferguson, Chairman of the FTC. It is addressed regarding Apple News's curation practices and potential violations of the FTC Act related to suppressing or promoting news content based on ideological or political viewpoint. The letter includes a handwritten signature above the printed name, a footnote citing an August 21, 2025 FTC press release, and is numbered as page 3 at the bottom.
Text in image: governments,¹¹ or simply to advance the political views of Silicon Valley elites, stifle the free exchange of ideas, manipulate the public discourse, and are inconsistent with American values. The FTC is not the speech police; we do not have authority to require Apple or any other firm to take affirmative positions on any political issue, nor to curate news offerings consistent with one ideology or another. But Congress has mandated that we protect consumers from material misrepresentations and omissions, including when the product or service offered to consumers is a speech-related product. As the Chairman of the FTC, I write to inform you of your obligations under the FTC Act. Any act or practice by Apple News to suppress or promote news articles based on the perceived ideological or political viewpoint of the article or publication, if inconsistent with Apple's terms of service or the reasonable expectations of consumers, may violate the FTC Act. I encourage you to conduct a comprehensive review of Apple's terms of service and ensure that Apple News' curation of articles is consistent with those terms and representations made to consumers and, if it is not, to take corrective action swiftly. Please direct any inquiries concerning this letter to Levi Swank, lswank@ftc.gov (202) 355-5940. Sincerely, [handwritten signature] Andrew N. Ferguson Chairman Federal Trade Commission ¹¹ See Fed.

Each state has its electoral vote count listed, and a legend of smaller Northeastern states' vote counts appears on the right side. A "270 to WIN" logo is in the bottom right of the graphic.

What the image shows
A screenshot of a post from X (Twitter) by the account "GAGOP" (@GaRepublicans), the Georgia Republican Party's account, marked with a verified checkmark badge. The account's profile picture shows a red elephant graphic on a dark blue circular background. The post text praises "Chairman Emeritus" David Shafer for supporting Trump in 2020 and claims Fulton County DA Fani Willis pressured him to disavow Trump under threat of prosecution, and that he refused and prevailed. The post shows a timestamp and view count at the bottom, with an "X.com" logo in the top right corner.
Text in image: GAGOP ✓ @GaRepublicans Our Chairman Emeritus @DavidShafer stood up for President Trump in 2020. Fani Willis demanded that he repudiate the President & apologize for standing w/him. When he refused, she threatened him w/bankruptcy & life in prison. He never flinched, fought back, & won. Follow him. 6:21 PM · 2/16/26 · 48K Views
