Republican senator Steve Daines (Mont.) alleges to the Hill this afternoon that his Twitter account was suspended for a rather unusual reason:

The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC), linking to a reporter’s tweet, alleged that Daines had been suspended from his account because he and his wife were shown hunting in his profile header. The Hill has reached out to Twitter for comment.
“This is insane. Twitter should immediately reverse this suspension,” NRSC spokesman Philip Letsou said in a statement.

Daines’s account currently seems to be functioning again. If the suspension was because of a background profile photograph of him hunting with his wife, that would indeed be insane. (Wait until the censors find out that mine is an Echo & the Bunnymen reference.) But it would be worth waiting for more evidence than this, because the reason offered for the temporary suspension — while not implausible as a failure of the algorithm or moderation, as we drift through the coding haze of Elon-era Twitter’s great post-employee nebula — seems incomplete on its face.
