CNN anchor Abby Phillip has spoken out in defense of Laura Loomer, a Trump loyalist, who is embroiled in a dispute with Elon Musk, the CEO of X (formerly Twitter). The controversy centers around Loomer’s claims that her account on the platform has been restricted following her criticism of Musk and his views on immigration. Loomer Accuses Musk of Targeting Her Account Loomer, who has 1.4 million followers and previously held a verified account, alleged that Musk had limited her account’s monetization features and other privileges. This followed a public spat between the two regarding U.S. work visas for Indian tech professionals, during which Musk accused Loomer of trolling. Phillip addressed the issue on CNN’s NewsNight , stating, “[Loomer is] saying that this is basically cancel culture—that Elon Musk doesn’t like what she’s been saying and has basically locked her out of the platform. It would not be the first time that he’s been accused of doing something like that.” Coleman Hughes, a guest on the segment, criticized Musk’s actions, calling them hypocritical given his prior commitment to restoring free speech on the platform. Phillip added, “The free speech apparently doesn’t apply to criticizing Elon Musk.” Laura Loomer And Broader Conservative Concerns About X Loomer is not alone in her grievances. NBC has reported that at least 14 conservative accounts have raised similar concerns about being restricted on X. Musk responded to the criticism by posting a “reminder” that the platform’s algorithm reduces a user’s reach if they are frequently blocked or muted by others. Musk wrote, “If far more credible, verified subscriber accounts (not bots) mute/block your account compared to those who like your posts, your reach will decline significantly.” In response, Loomer has taken to X to demand the restoration of her account. One of her posts read, “Elon Musk has been a Republican for 5 minutes and now he wants to decide who gets to be a Republican. Elon, you said you were a free speech absolutist. If you are, let’s please let all ideas flourish, and we will let the best ideas win.” Another post criticized Musk for allegedly stifling dialogue, “We want to have a conversation with [Musk], but he limits the convo by deleting our check marks and by calling [us] trolls. I’d be happy to have a conversation, but he limited my account. That’s a bad faith effort at conversation & debate.” Laura Loomer Stirs Immigration Debate The dispute between Loomer and Musk stems from a broader immigration debate, specifically around the H-1B visa program. The program allows U.S. companies to hire highly skilled foreign workers and has become a divisive issue within Trump’s base. Vivek Ramaswamy, a former GOP presidential candidate recently appointed as co-chief of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), further fueled the debate with a controversial post on X. Ramaswamy expressed strong support for bringing “highly skilled” foreign workers to the U.S., criticizing cultural priorities that favor athletes and social figures over academic achievers. “A society celebrating ‘the prom queen over the math olympiad champ’ and ‘the jock over the valedictorian’ will inevitably fail to produce the world’s best engineers,” Ramaswamy stated, even attributing the decline in America’s scientific leadership to 1990s sitcoms. Trump Distances Himself from Loomer While Loomer remains a visible presence at Mar-a-Lago, her controversial statements, including racially charged remarks about Vice President Kamala Harris, have drawn widespread criticism. Former President Donald Trump addressed the issue at a press conference, emphasizing that Loomer is a private citizen and not part of his campaign. On Truth Social, Trump stated, “Laura Loomer doesn’t work for the Campaign. She’s a private citizen and longtime supporter. I disagree with the statements she made.” Despite this, Trump appeared to offer tacit support, calling Loomer a “free spirit” and declining to criticize her remarks. Also Read: What Is An H-1B Visa?

Canada suffers "big blow" with loss of Matthew Schaefer for the rest of World Juniors Back to video Article content Standout Canadian defenceman Matthew Schaefer will miss the rest of the World Juniors with an injury suffered in Friday’s loss to Latvia. Respected hockey insider Bob McKenzie posted on ‘X’ that Schaefer broke his collarbone and is expected to be sidelined for 2-3 months. Schaefer, a 17-year-old sure to be either selected first or soon thereafter in next June’s NHL entry draft, crashed violently into a goal post shoulder first while driving to the net early in the first period of the 3-2 upset that ranks as one of the most surprising in tournament history.

Activate your Online Access Now Article content From a pair of exhibitions against a U Sports all-star team through the pre-tournament competition and an opening, 4-0 victory over Finland, the Erie Otters blue liner was arguably Canada’s best player. Filling his spot on the backend will be Sawyner Mynio, a third-round Vancouver Canucks pick who has thus far watched the action from a seat in the press box. Also expected to dress for Sunday’s must-win game against Germany is forward Carson Rehkoph, a Seattle Kraken second-round selection who has scored 72 goals in his last 87 games in the Ontario Hockey League. “Big injury, obviously, a big blow to our team,” said Team Canada management lead Peter Anholt in addressing the loss of Schaefer in the lobby of Kanata’s Brookstreet hotel. “But that’s the beauty of Canada, in a lot of ways. It’s the depth. Mynio will come in and it’s next guy up. We’re going to need some better performances out of some guys on our back end, and we feel we’ve got the people back there to do it. “The thing about Schaef is he plays play so well ... he skates and he makes things happen. And you know what, the next guy up is going to have to do it for us.” Advertisement 3 Story continues below This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Article content It’s been a tragic past 12 months for Schaefer, a native of Stoney Creek, Ont., who lost his mother to cancer in February and then saw the owner of his junior team, who was a close friend, suffer a deadly heart attack in December. One year ago, his billet mom, Emily Matson, also passed away at the age of 42. Canadian teammates expressed their sorrow for Schaefer, a popular player among the group. As for the loss on the ice, returning blueliner Oliver Bonk and Schaefer had developed in Canada’s top tandem. “It’s tough,” Bonk said of losing his D-man partner. “I feel really bad for the guy. He’s a great kid, it’s fun being around him like he played and he’s playing amazing. So it’s definitely a tough loss.” Article content Share this article in your social network Share this Story : Canada suffers "big blow" with loss of Matthew Schaefer for the rest of World Juniors Copy Link Email X Reddit Pinterest LinkedIn Tumblr Comments You must be logged in to join the discussion or read more comments.
