blue checks
People who have paid for verification on Twitter and have a blue checkmark next to their name.
After Elon Musk acquired Twitter in October 2022, the blue checkmark lost its former status. This check was once restricted to politicians, journalists, 'official accounts', and other celebrities. After this distinction was dropped, people self-selected into buying verification who were often right wing Musk supporters.
Thus 'blue checks' is often used in context of a discussion to mean terminally online right wing accounts.
