Texas by way of Canada GOP Senator Ted Cruz tried to support a conspiracy theory on Twitter.

He was quickly shut down.


Amid the public health crisis that has killed over 100,000 Americans, President Donald Trump took the time to Tweet about "Obamagate".

Obamagate is a conspiracy theory that Trump has been pushing for years against former President Barack Obama.

He has never specified what it actually entails.

MSNBC analyst and editor of The Recount John Heilemann attempted to set the record straight.

Since Trump brought up Obamagate, Heilemann tweeted at the President asking for details. Trump has left the public in the dark about exactly what crimes Obama allegedly committed, always refusing to give specifics to reporters.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz decided to step in on the conversation.

Cruz has become a loyal supporter of Trump, despite their past rivalry during the 2016 presidential election and Trump's insulting remarks about his wife, Heidi Cruz.

Cruz has also been the target of Trump's conspiracy theories. In 2016, the then presidential nominee claimed that Cruz's family participated in the Kennedy assassination.

In response to Cruz's tweet, Heilemann poked fun at their past conflicts.

Others began tearing into Cruz, pointing out the many ways Trump has disrespected Cruz, his wife and his family.

Cruz has not replied to any of the jabs aimed at him.

Trump, for his part, later implied that Obamagate may involve "warrantless surveillance." However, Trump's administration has been the one urging the National Security Agency (N.S.A) amp up its surveillance program.

Gavin Newsom Hilariously Trolls Trump For Struggling To Stay Awake During Antifa Roundtable

California Governor Gavin Newsom mocked President Donald Trump for appearing to fall asleep during a White House roundtable about Antifa, which the administration recently designated a "domestic terror organization" even though it's not an organization at all.

Antifa is a loose network of anti-fascist activists with no central structure, no funding, no membership roster, and no offices or leadership hierarchy for prosecutors to target.

Remote Worker Speaks Out After Job Uses 'Dystopian' Software To Track His Productivity

There are a few vital truths to every office-based job. First, there are going to be "busy work" moments, from meetings to admin tasks to minor side-quest-style projects that add to the company in some small way but otherwise feel like a waste of time.

Second, as human beings, we all need breaks to restore our mental focus, so a person who occasionally scrolls through their personal email, sends a few texts to a friend, or even scrolls Instagram for a few minutes, will likely be more productive than those who attempt to lock in and do nothing but their job throughout their entire shift.

But for Twitter (X) user, Daniel, that became a valid concern while wearing his Samsung Galaxy Ring.
