How Foreign Trolls on X Are Manipulating U.S. Politics | Pivot

Kara and Scott discuss X’s new “About This Account” feature, which appears to show a wave of MAGA accounts posting from Russia, India, Nigeria, and beyond. They also unpack Marco Rubio denying and downplaying reports that he privately called the Ukraine peace plan a Russian “wish list.” Plus, Google scores a major win with Gemini 3, Eli Lilly hits $1 trillion in market cap, and Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene announces her exit from Congress.
