The GOP Presidential Debate Is Livestreaming on Rumble, Home to White Nationalist Nick Fuentes
Wired

Medial
The GOP presidential primary debate is being livestreamed on Rumble, a YouTube alternative that has been criticized for hosting white nationalist Nick Fuentes. Fuentes has been using the platform to spread antisemitic hate speech and Holocaust denial conspiracies. While Rumble has policies against racism and antisemitism, it has been slow to address the issue. Fuentes' channel has gained a significant following on Rumble since joining in March 2021, despite his previous suspension from the platform for advocating for a holy war against non-Christians. Other far-right figures have also been identified as spreading antisemitic content on Rumble.

The order mandates these agencies align their legal interpretations with presidential views, submit draft regulations for White House review, and engage with the White House on strategic priorities. Critics argue this undermines the agencies' autonomy, spurring likely legal challenges. The move reflects Trump's extension of presidential authority over historically nonpartisan areas.

Several major companies, including Disney and Warner Bros., have pulled advertising off X. Musk's controversial comments about Jews may have also played a role in scaring off advertisers.

About 30% of US adults have a TikTok account, with usage being higher among younger adults. Ramaswamy's campaign defended his decision, stating the need to reach young people where they are.

The book highlights the unpredictability of presidential politics and warns of the risks of becoming too big for one's boots. It also emphasizes the importance of understanding ideological shifts and maintaining a positive relationship with the government.
