Too much for the Kremlin?
Meanwhile in Russia: Tucker Carlson's lies are too much even for Kremlin propagandists, who fact-check Tucker: "No, Jamie Raskin didn't actually say that."
Russian propagandists also complain that their leadership can't be as oppressive as US Republicans: "What about abortions?" pic.twitter.com/pSTOnwoMTB

Flynn is Q
In their lawsuit against @CNN Mike Flynn’s family said QAnon was a “terrorist/extremist group,” & being accused of believing in Q was the same as “being a follower of ISIS, the Proud Boys, the KKK, or the Nazis.”

Whack job candidate
Bobby Kennedy Jr.’s announcement to run as an Independent is a dangerous and cynical move by wealthy Republicans to put Trump back in the WH. I talked with Bobby and told him that what he is doing could destroy American Democracy. He didn’t care.

Bobby might share the same name as our father, but he does not share the same values, vision or judgment. Today's announcement is deeply saddening for us. We denounce his candidacy and believe it to be perilous for our country. @roryekennedy @joekennedy @KKT_Kennedy pic.twitter.com/WJfGwSxN1z

Don’t believe everything you see
Twitter is just chock full of misleading information since the missiles first hit Israel. Something many experienced bloggers will tell you that many of the victim pictures you’ll see on social media are from past conflicts in other countries.
A doctored White House press release posted online falsely claimed the Biden admin had authorized $8 billion in emergency aid to Israel
The fact that it was fake didn't stop it from being posted across the internet and rising to the top of Google https://t.co/IcM7BvbvJB pic.twitter.com/brwnOAqGLb
