What's striking about Trump's lies, and those of his apologists, is that they're not even plausible. They don't try to be plausible. As others have noted, that's kind of the point. True authoritarian control and power is telling a blatant and obvious lie, and showing you can get away with it.
Q: Can you explain what's going on with the bandages on Trump's hand?
LEAVITT: We've given you an explanation. The president is literally constantly shaking hands.

If you thought CBS was done with Erika Kirk content after 25 social media posts over 3 days plus a televised Town Hall last night, you would be wrong because they are still going with 4 more today.

Russia destroyed 100% of Odesa’s energy infrastructure. All substations were destroyed by missiles and drones.
The city has been completely left without electricity, hot water, and heating for over one million people, including all critical infrastructure.

Fox is now attacking the MeidasTouch Podcast for calling out the White House’s ridiculous claim that Trump’s bruised hands are from shaking too many hands.
Krauss: That doesn’t look suspicious to me at all, having worked with a lot of A-list talent who are out there shaking a lot of hands. I mean, the guy is an elderly man. Your skin gets thinner as you get older.

The White House continues to make our work harder. They’ve:
✂️ Cut funding for transportation and education
👎 Effectively told families in poverty “you’re on your own”
❌ Presided over the longest government shutdown in history
🚨 Failed to act after Western Maryland was hit by a devastating storm.

Mockler: Maybe the most humiliating thing I've ever seen for the United States. Donald Trump is returning our country to a pre constitutional order where you can give gifts and receive gifts from other countries/companies, and he gives them things in return.

We are not war. We need to be very clear-eyed about what the president and the secretary of defense have done: the ordered killing of 2 survivors. The fact that we are debating whether this is a war crime or murder is mind numbing. A Moment of Clarity.

There must be zero tolerance for violence — of any kind — against the brave men and women in uniform who selflessly serve our communities and our country. The shooting of National Guard members in Washington, D.C. is horrific and unacceptable.
