Beware!
You may have seen posts about Ukraine sharing fake strategic information to the US and this information being subsequently used by Russia
- LCI is a highly credible source (it is TF1's news channel)
- But no such claim has been made during the segment when they were supposed to be made

Confirmed that LCI highly credible & no such claim. The story is mainly about France replacing U.S. in providing intelligence support to Ukraine and what are France’s capabilities. If they had proof that US relays intelligence to Russia that would be the story.

The screenshot tweet misrepresents what is said on LCI.
The clip claims Ukraine shifted away from U.S. intelligence support due to *fear* of leaks. It doesn’t talk about a false leak operation exposing the U.S. relaying info to Russia.

Dear America: The thinking people of North Carolina are sorry that our House representatives are complicit in Trump's totalitarian moves. They do not reflect our values; they won only because they represent gerrymandered districts. Evidence: in statewide races, NC elected Democrats.

Tomorrow should be promised.
Last Wednesday, Renee Nicole Good, a mother of three, was killed by federal agents while monitoring an ICE operation in her neighborhood—an act of community defense that thousands of North Carolinians have bravely undertaken in recent months.

Merry Christmas to all you nice weirdos!
![Sesame Street’s purple Two-Headed Monster as he appears in the TV Christmas special A Muppet Family Christmas, replete with Santa hats and beards for each head. He is waving towards the camera. White text has been added that says “Merry Christmas to all you nice weirdos”. The text references this exchange between Fozzie Bear and his mother in the movie (as written up on IMDB):
Fozzie Bear: See, Mom? I told you it'd be easy!
Emily 'Ma' Bear: They're weirdos, Fozzie.
Fozzie Bear: Yeah?
Emily 'Ma' Bear: But, they're nice weirdos.
Fozzie Bear: Yeah.
