Florida, led by their extreme right-wing Governor DeathSantis, becomes more restrictive & punitive daily. DeathSantis won the election by .004% in a required recount. We need to vote Democratic this November so Florida becomes a state that places emphasis on what is good for its people, all people, not just those who want to dictate how others live.

Thank you for the in-depth reporting you all do. It is making a difference.

Harding’s withdrawal is probably a ploy. Right now the heat is on, people are paying attention. Keep watching Florida, they’ll keep trying

You do the work, prove that the little weasel boy Ben Shapiro is cheating the system and FB does nothing. So these right wingers do the same crap again but simply change the name of the group. FB is not interested in the truth. They care about $ and these right wing yahoo's can't wait to donate to a conservative cause. It's disgusting and won't end because FB doesn't care about enforcing their own policies. It's why I got off FB. Thanks to your constant reporting. Keep up the independent journalism Judd. It's making an impact!

First, the news about Florida is outstanding. A commenter yesterday suggested we should be focused on the big picture and I agree, and I believe the way to do that is through multiple smaller pictures. (I tried to post a comment yesterday and when I pressed ‘post’ Substack froze, I couldn’t recover and moved on.) Second, the additional pressure your reporting will put on Facebook is a big deal. Third, who are the 3 writers for Conservative Brief? Finally, Claire Atkin landed in my feed yesterday, which took me to Nandini Jammi. What a remarkable pair behind Check My Ads. I scrolled through Nandini’s feed and found that three days ago she posted “there are 4 Twitter accounts that represent an existential threat to their [Fox’s] business.” You’re one of the 4. She says the 4 accounts “have the power to start a campaign that spins out of Fox’s control.” I don’t know what I could possibly do, but I would be proud to help. I live in your general area FWIW.

Florida and Texas are setting the agenda for the rest of the "red state world".

That should terrify us all.

What?! There are independent voices dissenting from the One Narrative allowed by today's illiberal libs?

Censor them! Jail them. Deprogram them! Show them the libs like Judd are the ONLY smart ones.

Congrats on the Harding news and thanks for unmasking (again) those who are taking over FB from legit news sources. You’re the best!

Excellent news about Florida!!

Is there anything us ordinary folks can do about Conservative Brief on FB?

Simple. Stop using Facebook. Fewer people, less profit.

I don't have any idea about metrics, but this is on an aggregator: Memeorandum.. Hopefully, the major news groups will "copy" Judd's information.

As I ALWAYS the case, it is a matter of following the money. Will Facebook punish those who are breaking the rules. Not optimistic.
