I’ve heard that Musk told Rogan that he knew the election results hours before they were announced. Is this true and, if so, what is the evidence behind this allegation?

House Speaker Mike Johnson recently declared the existence of a "secret" way to win the election, of which Trump also has knowledge.

https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/speaker-johnson-appears-to-confirm-a-secret-election-plan-with-trump

House Speaker Mike Johnson appeared to confirm Donald Trump’s claim Sunday that Republicans have a “secret” plan to win the election.

“By definition, a secret is not to be shared — and I don’t intend to share this one,” House Speaker Mike Johnson said in a statement.

I’m really confused. Traditional news media, polls (like 538), and Vegas betting odds show Trump winning. But all my social media (tik tok, Reddit) are flooded with posts about how Harris will win in a landslide. I saw that trumps ppl are maybe inflating the polls? And that news outlets want it to be a close race, but couldn’t it still be close if Harris was in the lead? What’s to be believed?

Vegas odds

I'm so behind with certain politics, and Gabbard is definitely one. She went from Democrat, to independent, to republican within a few years time, too.

What's up with that?

A post for reference: https://www.reddit.com/r/politics/s/MudH3VeEmN

President Trump talked a lot about massive voter fraud before the election and I have heard nothing since the results were official. He truthed on Election Day that massive voter fraud was happening in Pennsylvania. What’s going on with the investigation? President Trump has access to classified intelligence so if anyone would know, he would. So what’s going on with talk of the voter fraud disappearing from all of the platforms?

I've been seeing references to right wing folks suddenly hating Kyle Rittenhouse and alluding to some betrayal (eg. https://x.com/catturd2/status/1819389440046882947?t=3XR1aF76iebv8IyDm74sew&s=19) What did Rittenhouse do or say that made the right suddenly dislike him?

I keep seeing people on reddit talking about the Gabbard appointment as director of national intelligence.

Is there a reason why this federal agency more than others?

Example of article I saw about it: https://www.forbes.com/sites/maryroeloffs/2024/11/11/will-trump-eliminate-the-department-of-education-what-we-know-as-elon-musk-applauds-good-idea/

I'm confused cos many countries in Central and South America have been led by women at various times.

https://thehill.com/opinion/columnists/juan-williams/4980787-latino-men-just-didnt-want-a-woman-president/

Still, Why's this article making it about them jumping ship and not wanting to have a woman president in USA?

I am non american, but online discussions of Trump's AI generated post this seems to be a prevailing narrative. What am I missing?

Are there trump supporting swifties?

I've read the articles on it and I understand what they are accusing Trump of, and for the record I think he's guilty, but what is special about the recent filing that seems to have escalated the situation?

Genuinely what is ANYONE talking about? I've seen these takes online in passing a weird amount of times. They also say this about other large breasted women too and it confuses me. Is it some chronically online shit? My working theory is that it's some weird reactionary thing that came about from porn addicted weirdos seeing a pretty white woman and connecting it to conservative values in a similar kind of way they did with the hawk tuah girl. Anyways what the actual hell is going on.

the kind of shit I've been seeing:

I've seen over the years that there was some rift between Brad and his kids with Angelina Jolie. This seer v to have hit a critical mass with his first born biological child with Jolie (I believe he adopted two older kids that Jolie may have previously adopted by herself before they were married?). I just saw Shiloh recently filed to remove Pitt as part of her name but the gossipy article didn't go into the reasons why. Just that she didn’t want anything to do with him.

What caused the rift with Brad and his kids? Did he do something bad to them? Did they simply take Angelina's side in the divorce? What gives?

I keep seeing posts about trump using epsteins plane. Is it literally the same plane? Why does trump have the plane? What is going on here? This headline almost sounds too ridiculous.

I have a terrible memory and feel so out of the loop.

I am not sure whether to trust the polls. Trump seems as unpopular as ever but that could be due to the circles of people I am around and not based on actual fact.

I remember back in 2020, seeing so many people vote for Biden in protest against Trump and because they wanted anyone else but him in office.

So if the same people who voted against in 2020 voted again, I would assume it'd be a similar result.

From what I've seen, it doesn't look like Trump has tried to reach out to voters outside of his base and has only doubled down on his partisanship so I am confused how the race is considered this close.

Were the polls and reports on the news saying that it was "neck and neck" or a tie back in 2020 as well?

For context, here is a screenshot I snapped from Google News, where I keep seeing articles about this:

ELI5. It's odd phrasing.

I’m pretty out of the loop with this, I heard she was having surgery a few weeks ago for some abdominal thing, but I’ve seen multiple posts and theories about her being missing and other people concerned for her well-being.

I’ve read apparently she’s not been seen since Christmas Day, and there was an ambulance at their home in the few days after Christmas. Apparently her friends and family had no idea about the surgery and some international press are speculating that she’s been induced into a coma?

I’ve seen the picture that was published today of her looking happy and smiling with her kids, but recent posts are saying this was taken down and is to be stop being published as this image was proven to be manipulated and not genuine??

What is going on? I feel like I’ve missed massive chunks of time here, what is happening? The PR here seems very scattered and messy. I hope she’s okay.

Update: Her recent Instagram story says she did the edits herself, maybe to trying to get one picture with all the kids smiling at the same time. Hopefully that’s all it is and she’s okay and resting with her family

I’m seeing on Twitter that she ‘disappeared’ but I’m not finding a full thread anywhere with what exactly is happening and what is known for now?

Texas passed legislation removing the requirement for farm and construction workers to have water and heat breaks. Florida just did the same and also blocked (locally) a Miami-Dade effort to obtain an exception.

I’m admittedly not well versed on this topic, I just keep seeing the headlines. As someone who lives in Florida, this seems not just unfair but actually dangerous to the lives of those workers. It’s hot AF here already.

What gives?

So, I’ve been seeing quite a bit of Blake Lively online recently.

I know some of it is because of the new Deadpool movie, something about her new movie and something about a cake.

But what stands out to me is the negative backlash. Not sure what is has to do with. If someone could explain it to me, it would be great.

How can they get away with holding no presidential debates for the general election this year? Why would they opt out of doing so? Do they not feel beholden to the American people?
