👀 Per Mary Trump of unfortunate birth.
Apparently, he was trying to connect his #lies about high bacon prices with his lies about wind energy. He keeps telling these easily debunked lies because, as Daniel Dale, chronicler of #Donalds mendacity, pointed out, “By virtue of shameless perseverance, [Donald] often manages to outlast most of the media’s willingness to correct any particular #falsehood.” In other words, while Donald never gets tired of lying, the #media gets tired of doing its job.
Taking @StitchyMc’s words to heart that #Trump’s sensationalist #racist pet-eating #lies are designed to distract us in our outrage from what matters, so I’m turning back to his (make no mistake — it is his) #authoritarian handbook:
I read the full 900-pg #Project2025 manifesto – here’s why it matters
#HeritageFoundation blueprint describes an #America poisoned by ‘#wokeness’ & overtaken by lawlessness that only *#conservatives* can save

Isn't it just weird how in all these government cuts, all the fraud and waste, the thieving and scammers, all the lazy bureaucrats, that not one large company contracting with the US has been found to be a part of the cuts?
Weird.

Amid anti-#DEI push, #NationalParkService rewrites history of #UndergroundRailroad
Since #Trump took office, the #ParkService -- an agency charged with preserving #AmericanHistory -- has changed how its website describes key moments from #slavery to #JimCrow

Mike Masnick compares how the Free Press covered the (misleading-to-false) story of the #Biden admin’s "censorship" of #SocialMedia [actually trying to combat harmful #disinformation like #election & #COVID #lies & #ConspiracyTheories or #HateSpeech like #WhiteSupremacy], to how they handled the very real #censorship attack on #Wikipedia by #Trump’s DC #USAttorney #EdMartin.
Spoiler: there are differences.

#Musk Spread #Lies to Justify #DOGE Takeover of #SocialSecurity
#ElonMusk stood before a giant American flag at a Wisconsin rally in March & rolled out an eye-popping allegation of rampant fraud at the #SocialSecurityAdministration. Scammers, he said, were making 40% of all calls to the agency’s customer service line.
#SSA employees knew the claim had no basis in fact. After journalists followed up, staff began drafting a response correcting the record.

#Trump speaking at #NATO sticking the “obliterated” #lies about #Iran #nuclear facilities, attacking #journalists on a personal level as “scum” “nasty” etc, spinning perfectly reasonable questions about the #intelligence report contradicting him into BS about the reporters & news outlets — who are literally just quoting the report — being unpatriotic & disparaging the military.
Utter bullshit.
NATO seemed more receptive, or they’ve just learned that the best way to manipulate him is flattery.
#Judges Openly Doubt #USGovernment as #Justice *Misleads* [#lies] & Dodges Orders
#DOJ lawyers have long enjoyed a professional benefit when they appear in court. As a general rule, judges tend to take them at their word & assume they are telling the truth.
But…as members of the #Trump DOJ have repeatedly misled courts, violated orders & demonized judges…, some jurists have started to show a loss of faith in the people & institution they once believed in most.
