Greene, a staunch supporter of former President Donald Trump, is routinely criticized by Republicans and Democrats alike for promoting conspiracy theories and misinformation. The GOP congresswoman has vocally opposed COVID-19 restrictions, vaccine mandates and masking requirements. “I have over $25,000 in mask fines bc I refuse to wear a mask in the chamber where over 80% of Congress is vaccinated and I’m NOT sick,” Green wrote in a Saturday morning tweet....

In a Gettr post on Tuesday, Greene wrote that the social media giant “needs to learn a lesson.” Gettr is a social media platform targeted to conservatives started by former Donald Trump aide Jason Miller. “The truth is under attack and so are our Republican Conservative values,” the Georgia representative wrote. “Twitter has censored millions of Conservative Americans for too long now without any restraint.” Greene continued, “Twitter is a danger to us all by deeming itself the judge of speech on its platform....

The poll was created by Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban and conducted by Shiftsmart.com. “I wanted to get an understanding of what opening meant to businesses around Dallas. Were they opening?

The suit, filed in U.S. District Court in Washington on Sunday, cites Esper’s secrecy agreements that could force him to face civil or criminal liability if he authorizes the publication of A Sacred Oath without the Pentagon’s approval, the AP reported.
