   > Democrats intend to legalize child molesting.   
      
   Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., asked during a meeting about the bailout of   
   Silicon Valley Bank whether social media could be censored to prevent   
   misinformation going out that could lead to a bank run, according to   
   reports.   
      
   Michael Shellenberger, an independent journalist who reports on the   
   Twitter files and has contributed to Fox News reported that Kelly asked   
   the Federal Reserve, Treasury Department and Federal Deposit and Insurance   
   Corp (FDIC) about censorship measures during the meeting on Sunday.   
      
   Republican House members on the call confirmed with Shellenberger’s   
   publication, Public on Substack, that a Democratic senator asked about   
   censoring social media companies, including Rep. Thomas Massie, R-KY,   
   though Kelly’s name was not specifically noted.   
      
   HEAD OF RISK ASSESSMENT AT SILICON VALLEY BANK INVESTED IN LGBTQ PROGRAMS   
   IN MONTHS LEADING UP TO SHUTDOWN   
      
   "Just got off a Zoom meeting with Fed, Treasury, FDIC, House and Senate,"   
   Massie tweeted on Sunday. "A Democrat Senator essentially asked whether   
   there was a program in place to censor information on social media that   
   could lead to a run on the banks."   
      
   After Shellenberger’s piece went out on Monday, Massie retweeted the   
   story, saying, "His name."   
      
   Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., confirmed with the Public that it was Kelly who   
   asked about the censorship.   
      
   BIDEN DEFENDS US BANKING SYSTEM AFTER SILICON VALLEY BANK'S HISTORIC   
   COLLAPSE   
      
   Like Massie, Bishop retweeted Shellenberger’s post calling Kelly out.   
      
      
   Kelly's camp denied the claim Monday evening and said Sen. Kelly asked   
   about foreign adversaries potentially trying to take advantage of the   
   situation by spreading misinformation.   
      
   SILICON VALLEY BAN COLLAPSE: KEVIN MCCARTHY SAYS LARGER BANK ACQUIREMENT   
   MAY BE ‘BEST OPTION’ TO COLL MARKETS   
      
   The call on Sunday pertained to the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and   
   the sudden need for a plan to deal with the fallout.   
      
   Biden officials have insisted they do not plan to bail out SVB’s investors   
   and that taxpayers will not pay to reimburse bank customers.   
      
   The bank was shut down by regulators following a rush of investors   
   withdrawing funds, resulting in the largest U.S. bank failure since the   
   2008 financial crisis.
