The American administration has reportedly denied accreditation to French MP Éric Bothorel for a planned trip to Washington, preventing him from attending a parliamentary delegation.

Bothorel, a specialist in digital affairs and foreign interference, believes this denial signifies a broader stance on free expression from the MAGA sphere.

Several prominent MAGA influencer accounts, including DarkMAGA, MagaScope, WilliamAlbrech, and IvankaNews_, have been suspended from X after a new feature revealed their origins in countries like Nigeria and Bangladesh. These accounts, which collectively amassed over a million followers, were likely in violation of X’s rules against impersonation and misleading users. “IvankaNews_,” which claimed to be a U.S. resident, was among the accounts toppled by the feature, but others, like @America_First0 and “Trump Army,” continue to post despite being outed, potentially driven by X’s payment model that rewards engagement, even negative engagement.

During a recent event promoting Western independence, former CEO of the Alberta Prosperity Project, Dennis Modry, claimed that officials in the Trump administration discussed providing Alberta with a $500 million transition loan to facilitate its independence from Canada.
