Why are the fake news accounts overwhelmingly on the right? Macedonian teenagers in 2016 found that Trump supporters were the most gullible audience. "The American right, especially the emerging MAGA ecosystem, was simply a dream customer: highly engaged, highly inflamed, and

For almost a year now, the Trump administration has insisted the new taxes, higher prices, market chaos, open cronyism, & aggressive deportations were needed to rebalance the economy to favor the American working class. The results so far:

THREAD: Judge Ellis is the first federal judge to review extensive body cam video of DHS's actions in Chicago. She finds that DHS *repeatedly* misled the public and made claims that were disproven by agents' own videos. I'll go through some of the most egregious ones here.
WOW. Judge Ellis finds that Chief Bovino gave "not credible" testimony, stating that he "appeared evasive over the three days of his deposition, either providing 'cute' responses ... or outright lying." She highlights how he denied tackling someone even though it was on video.

Ah yes. JD Vance saying it’s bad “to lie about someone you don’t know.“
Sloan describes herself as a defender of "Judeo-Christian Values." Is it a "Judeo-Christian value" to lie about someone you don't know? Not in any church I ever spent time in!
