Some big name Republican lawmakers, including the likes of Marjorie Taylor Greene and Matt Gaetz, have accounts on the app but they don’t seem to be posting anything different from what they post on other social media platforms. “Put simply, there isn’t much happening on the site,” writes Politico’s Ruby Cramer, who was able to join the site recently after being placed on a waitlist.
