Quick 🧵 to wrap up a crazy week in Info Ops land: I’m confident both Russia, China, and Iran have long-standing, well-formed, multifaceted plans to undermine American democracy, which includes the 2024 election.

New statement from Ayşenur Eygi's family: "Like the olive tree she lay beneath where she took her last breaths, Aysenur was strong, beautiful, and nourishing.…an Israeli investigation is not adequate. We call on Biden, Harris, and Blinken to order an independent investigation…"
