Imagine a Vice President of the United States getting a fact-check Community Note that the heckler was right and you are lying. These people just can’t stop lying.

The New York Times did not blink.
The Times: “We won’t be issuing a retraction."
But they didn't stop there. "This is another all too common example of the president lashing out at coverage he doesn’t like and belittling journalists who report the facts.”

🚨 ICYMI: This is one of the most offensive and egregious things I’ve ever covered (and that’s saying a lot seeing how it’s Florida):
NEW: A Florida grand jury finds the DeSantis Administration misappropriated $10 million in taxpayer funds when it diverted the money to the Casey DeSantis’-related nonprofit, Hope Florida Foundation.
I track the money flow in this outrageous corruption and grift!

🚨Caught on camera: Ken Paxton PANICS when asked about owning 15 homes worth $9 million on a $153,000 government salary.
Paxton dodges, stammers, then says “I’d like to keep today to law enforcement!”
Classic Paxton—refuses to answer, cuts the presser short.
Texans deserve better.

Disney is laying off hundreds of people at its wildly successful Pixar Studios. But Disney also plans to spend $8 billion this year to buy back its own stock. Corporations don’t care about workers, they just focus on making executives richer.

It’s unfair.
Random reminder that banning elected officials from trading stock is a total no brainer.
They can use privileged information to make money on the stock market, while they’re supposed to be working for you.
Make no mistake — it’s legalized corruption.

Thomas just gave a speech on how "progressivism" is destroying the country — plus his wife was involved in the Jan 6 plot.
And Roberts has pushed "shadow docket" cases where justices make decisions without explaining themselves.
