"Never spread the lie in the headline" should be a hard rule of 21st century journalism.

Research shows that repeating lies helps to spread them, and people read headlines more than they read stories.
News media has to do better with headlines that present false and unverified public health claims.

Captured Court, funded by creepy billionaires, defending $700 billion annual U.S. subsidy for Big Oil.

The Supreme Court’s Ethics Code Is a Joke. Big Oil Knows That.
Oil companies want the Supreme Court to intervene to dismiss lawsuits about climate change. Amy Coney Barrett and Samuel Alito both have big conflicts of interest on that front.

Over 200 men were sent by Kristi Noem-in violation of a court order-to the CECOT prison for terrorists

She claimed they were criminals. In reality, most had no criminal records, and many had valid claims for asylum

They were tortured. Beaten. Sexually abused. Even shot.

Trump wants to shift the cost of ACA subsidized health care entirely onto Americans who depend on it. The uninsured Americans will spur a public health problem with more expensive premiums for the insured as hospitals look to recoup the loss.

What he's suggesting is blatantly racist and illegal

Even if he could convince the MAGA Supreme Court justices to go along with any of this, it would tear this country apart

And-unsurprisingly-not a single moment of empathy for Sarah Beckstrom or self-reflection on his role in her being killed
Trump: “I will permanently pause migration from all Third World Countries … denaturalize migrants who undermine domestic tranquility, and deport any Foreign National who is a public charge, security risk, or non-compatible with Western Civilization.“

It’s awful to hear that National Guard troops were shot after they were needlessly-and possibly illegally-deployed to Washington DC

Tomorrow many of us will sit down with our families for Thanksgiving-while they will likely be in hospital beds

So consider taking just one moment to think of them
My prayers are with the National Guard members injured in today’s senseless shooting. Grateful for the officers and first responders who moved quickly. There is no place for this kind of violence in our country.

Trump is responsible for these two guard members being shot.

Civil authority (DC police) are well capable of handling crime in DC and always have been. The city did not want troops deployed there and didn't ask for troops to be deployed there. It's Thanksgiving, they should be home with family.

Holy shit! Trump has no decency or compassion.

A reporter asked if he planned to attend the funeral of Sarah Beckstrom, the National Guard member who just died.

Instead of offering condolences, he said he would “consider it” and pivoted to bragging about his margin of victory in West Virginia.

Would it kill somebody to say “Nancy is not stupid.” It pains me to see the WH press corps just accept the abuse. Sends the wrong image to Americans and the world IMHO.

This whole thing is racist, but take particular note of the threat of denaturalization. That's stripping people of their citizenship, and that's the road to mass murder and atrocity.

This rhetoric is indistinguishable from the stuff you hear coming out of white nationalists. Completely identical language.

Trump makes the outrageous claim that “most” immigrants, which include over 25 million U.S. citizens, “are on welfare, from failed nations, or from prisons, mental institutions, gangs, or drug cartels.”

As insulting as the “deplorables” comment, and on Thanksgiving day no less.
