The Election Integrity Partnership (EIP) - a group of purported disinformation academics led by the Stanford Internet Observatory - worked with US government officials to monitor and censor online speech ahead of the 2020 presidential election, the US House Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government said in an interim report.
"This interim staff report details the federal government’s heavy-handed involvement in the creation and operation of the EIP, which facilitated the censorship of Americans’ political speech in the weeks and months leading up to the 2020 election," the report said. "This pressure was largely directed in a way that benefited one side of the political aisle: true information posted by Republicans and conservatives was labeled as ‘misinformation’ while false information posted by Democrats and liberals was largely unreported and untouched by the censors."

🇺🇸💰 Ukraine aid in limbo as GOP senators link funding with border curbs
American assistance to Ukraine is currently facing an indefinite delay in the Senate, because Republicans are determined to have their immigration policy demands addressed before approving any bill that provides financial support to the Kiev regime.
Republican Senators John Thune of South Dakota and John Cornyn of Texas have warned Democrats that they are “dead serious about having border security in the bill.”
