·       Facebook’s oversight board upheld the suspension of Donald Trump’s account in response to the former president’s comments about the deadly Capitol insurrection. However, the board also criticized Facebook for indefinitely suspending Trump’s account and instructed the company to conduct a six-month review to determine whether the ban should be lifted.

·       Trump lashed out against Facebook and other social media giants in response to the decision, saying such companies “must pay a political price” for suspending his accounts. “What Facebook, Twitter, and Google have done is a total disgrace and an embarrassment to our Country,” Trump said in a statement. “The People of our Country will not stand for it!”

·       Trump endorsed Elise Stefanik to replace Liz Cheney as House Republican conference chairwoman. The former president’s endorsement comes as House minority leader Kevin McCarthy has signaled willingness to replace Cheney over her criticism of Trump. Asked about the efforts to oust Cheney, Joe Biden said earlier today, “I don’t understand the Republicans.”
