• Project Veritas published a new story on Monday night featuring footage of Twitter Senior Engineer, Siru Murugesan, discussing how employees at the tech company “hate” Elon Musk’s impending acquisition of Twitter among several other explosive soundbites.
• Leaving no doubt to one of the primary sources of the rift between Musk and employees at Twitter, Murugesan at one point says: “Twitter does not believe in free speech… Elon believes in free speech.”
• Murugesan: “Our jobs are at stake, he’s a capitalist and we weren’t really operating as capitalists, more like very socialist. Like we’re all like commie as f**k.”
Midterm primaries today: Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Kentucky, Oregon and Idaho. Here is some brief news about two of the races.
Pennsylvania
The race for retiring Republican U.S. Sen. Pat Toomey’s seat has been resulted in a large primary field, and there is a hot race on the GOP side, and it is unclear at the moment who will win. President Trump is backing Doctor Oz, which seems a strange choice to me. There seems to be a neck and neck race between Oz and McCormick, with Barnette closing in. Trump also says he is not backing Barletta for governor because he ran a bad Senate race in 2018.
On Sunday, Democrat candidate Lt. Governor John Fetterman announced he was recovering from a stroke. The 52-year-old said he went to the hospital on Friday after not feeling well and would remain for a while for observation. He is still in the race despite his health setback. He said, “Our campaign isn’t slowing down one bit, and we are still on track to win this primary on Tuesday.” Up until the Sunday announcement, Fetterman has been leading in the polls.
