Remember the "Biden bribe" story? The guy who invented it just admitted to making it up.
Remember the "FBI did Jan. 6" thing? According to a new inspector general report, they didn't.
I'm sure Fox News et al will be suitably chastened.

FBI at the Capitol riot? Nope. Joe Biden taking a bribe? Even more nope. New evidence that emerged Thursday via an inspector general report and guilty plea further debunk the claims.

Congratulations everyone willing to sacrifice American excellence, pride and freedom (just to start) for better egg prices that you were never going to get in the first place.

I’ll remember your ignorance and apathy with every family ripped apart.

This is an oligarchy.

The founders never intended people to have this much power… EVER

Stop the oligarchy

"Repeat after me: there was no 'landslide'. There was no 'blowout'. There was no 'sweeping' mandate given to Trump by the electorate. The numbers don’t lie."

My new Guardian op-ed on the new GOP election lie - and why it's important to rebut it! I brought (lots of) receipts:
Donald Trump didn’t win by a historic landslide. It’s time to nip that lie in the bud | Mehdi Hasan
In 2024, we have a new post-election lie – Trump didn’t just win, Republicans say, but he won big. He won a landslide. That’s false

“Don’t feed the trolls” also extends to bad opinion pieces in papers of record.

They run them bc people react to them the most.

If we stop linking to bad columns and instead post thinkers we find valuable (& generate convo around it), incentives change.

It’s not easy and takes constant practice!

Don't be distracted by the chaos. Trump’s 2nd term agenda will be more calculated than his 1st.

He's following the playbook of Hungary’s Viktor Orbán to crush democracy, silence dissent & entrench his own power.

Those who lived it say there’s a window to act now. Here’s how we fight back. ⬇️
