Pretty willd how the DOJ just straight up stopped releasing the Epstein files even though they're legally obligated to do so.

Note that the fascist is not using the pepper spray for crowd control. He is entering a vehicle unimpeded to depart. He is simply using the pepper spray to physically punish an unarmed citizen he doesn't like.
Big clash this afternoon between DHS agents and protesters in a residential street in Minneapolis, following a DHS agent hitting another vehicle. Tear gas was deployed in people’s yards and agents pepper prayed people.

Trump insisted not only that the officer was struck, but that he was so badly injured by it that he remains hospitalized and his survival is in doubt.

In the video, the officer is seen to walk away unharmed.
"Was the officer struck by the vehicle, as President Trump insists, or did the car pass by or around him?"
If we only had some trusted institution that could adjudicate between competing claims by relying on facts.

THREAD: I'll fact-check all the viral misinformation about the US military operation in Venezuela in this thread

This image, purporting to show the US military arresting Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro, is AI-generated.

According to Google's SynthID detector, it was created using Google AI.

I cannot emphasize enough that the attempts to anthropomorphize an algorithm is a fundamental act of journalistic malpractice and an intentional act to shield the people responsible for this. It's fucking shameful.

Alabama’s homicide rate is more than double New York City’s. Remember that the next time Tommy Tuberville criticizes NYC’s “crime and migrants.”
A remarkable trend that will come as a shock to you if your only info about NYC is from this Fox News.

Yeah, I was surprised this story wasn't about Kansas City MO, which for the first time since Harry Truman was a Pendergrast hack will not be allowed to elect a Democrat.

Somehow I've missed the profiles of people in Nashville / Austin / Houston / Kansas City MO / Charlotte / etc who have been gerrymandered out of "fair" representation.
They Wanted a Conservative State. They Might Get a Democratic Representative Instead.

🚨 The DOJ appears to have redacted Donald Trump’s name from the allegations made in this exhibit in the Epstein files.

Trump’s name was in the original release. Now, it’s blacked out.

See for yourself.

A firm with deep ties to DHS Secretary Kristi Noem reportedly secretly received funding from a $220 million taxpayer-funded DHS ad campaign.

The public deserves answers on how the firm ended up getting this money. The DHS inspector general must open an investigation.

Bovino, the man overseeing mass deportations, publicly declared that we must all have our papers on us, at all times, or we could be stopped, harassed, kidnapped, and detained, as they did with the man in this case, who is a US citizen.

Exactly why the Ellisons are completely unfit to own Warner and CNN — even with all their wealth, what a bunch of acquiescent stooges. They are uninterested in making journalism better or a better business, but happy to make it better for Trump.

DOJ's claim that re-assigning thousands of agents to immigration has had no impact on its other work is demonstrably untrue. Court dockets show the number of people charged with drug crimes this year is the lowest in at least three decades.

"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.

The director of the FDA is using unverified submissions to the VAERS database to claim the Covid vaccine resulted in 10 pediatric deaths.

Anyone can submit anything to VAERS. To demonstrate, a doctor famously reported that the flu shot turned him into the Incredible Hulk.

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!
