The tweets in question were naked images of Hunter Biden, which were against Twitter's TOS and would be illegal to circulate in California anyway under the state's revenge porn law. You can literally put the links into archive.org

>0.9% in October, 0.8% in November and 0.5% in December, according to the Labor Department. Definitely similarly tone deaf, but in this case he was bragging about the second derivative, not the third - prices continued to increase, but t
