Episode 63 - The Twitter Files

Twitter has long been lauded as a platform for open communication and free speech. But a new exposé shows that the social media giant has been quietly working to stifle some of the very same things it claims to stand for. Based on a leaked trove of internal Twitter documents, the files offer a rare glimpse into the company's inner workings. Dubbed as the Twitter Files, are they truly "bombshell" documents, as the New York Post calls them?

In this year-end episode of the Pod Bless America podcast, Jim and Dan talk about the seven Twitter file dumps most people don’t know about, the hearing about the surge in violence against LGBTQ people, and Jim’s thoughts on Donald Trump running for president.

Also, at the end of the episode, we hear Jim's dad's story about his days in the FBI and what our hosts have to say to all of those who support the show. Tune in!

Enjoy!
