Trump doesn’t like data. He wants investors, consumers, and everyone else to be in the dark, so he can lie without fear of factual contradiction. He can create even more of a fantasy world. He can pretend that he’s been wildly successful even when he’s been a terrible failure.

This is a war for the truth as much as anything.

Tweet from Acyn that says: “Noem: I was in Portland on Tuesday, met the governor, met with the mayor, met with the chief of police. They are all lying. Dishonest people.” Below, a Fox News broadcast shows Trump leading a cabinet meeting at the White House with several officials around a long table.

sometimes it feels a bit on the nose that the very people wearing masks right now are often the same people who refused to wear one in 2020.

Sen. Elissa Slotkin on Letitia James being indicted: "It's part of a bigger trend of the President of the United States using the Department of Justice, using the legal system, to go after political adversaries."

Not "a little."
Not "sometimes."
Not "occasionally."
Not even "when mandated."

50% NEVER read.

Which means the 50% that does is also probably an extremely small amount

Gov. Shapiro: "The way the president has chosen to deploy the National Guard in other states, and to deploy the Guard of one state. Texas, into another state, Illinois, is extremely dangerous...It does not make us more safe. It creates chaos and real danger in our communities."

The Trump administration is REALLY allowing Qatar to build an air base in the US after they did a $5.5 billion golf resort deal with Trump and gave him a jet.

MAGA can take their ‘America First’ flags and wipe their asses with them. He is Trump First, and you are suckers.

Clamoring for a guy who dropped bombs on fishermen to get a peace prize is equal parts delusional and reprehensible.

Independent C-SPAN caller to Rep. Mark Alford: "You're taking credit for $50b that you just gave to the hospital industry. That's after you took away $150b. You don't take credit for just giving back a little bit of money after taking away so much. So quit lying. It just makes you look horrible."

The widespread media decision to frame international affairs as "will Donnie get the prize he wants?" is pathetic.

He's not the protagonist of human events. And to the extent he's a significant character in world affairs, whether or not he gets a prize is one of the least important things about it.
