If you’re a journalist who’s still on Twitter, from now on in your writing you have to replace “the American people want” with “troll bots in Eastern Europe demand”
Being there makes your judgment suspect. I don’t care how savvy you think you are, you’re marinating in a disinformation campaign.

Rep. Houlahan: “The President of the United States called for the death of six members of Congress."
President Trump called for the execution of six Democratic lawmakers, after they released a video urging U.S. military service members to “refuse illegal orders.” Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, who grew up in a military family, says her father taught her that unlawful orders must always be questioned. Trump’s unhinged reaction is “exactly the reason why, frankly, many of us put out this video.”
