Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said there is no indication that Poland was the intended target of the missile that landed in Lublin Voivodeship. He said it was most likely a Russian Kh-101 cruise missile. #Ukraine

Politics is morality tale telling, not simply fact checking.
Whether it's Republicans lying about the LA mayor election, or lying about screwworm, or using AI to lie about James Talarico, the Democratic instinct is to correct the record, condemn the attack and move on. It should be to weave a story about the opposition's putrid, morally corrosive dishonesty.
The Black Mold Of Republican Lies
Even when their smears aren't helpful to them in the short run, they harm Democrats in the long run. Here's a prescription for deterrence.

Russia's Deputy PM Overchuk claims the EU has become a "hostile bloc" to Armenia. At the latest EAEU summit, dominated by Yerevan's EU path, it's clear Moscow's frantic attempts to keep Armenia in its orbit and hold on to its fading post-Soviet influence are down to empty words.
🇦🇲 Armenia is holding parliamentary elections today. Pashinyan's Civil Contract leads at 32%, pro-Russian Strong Armenia second at 11%. Kremlin disinfo campaigns reported ahead of the vote. The results will shape Armenia's ties with Russia and the West.

Fox News often ignores stories it doesn't know how to spin. Last week only ONE show I covered included a short segment about new Israeli attacks against Hezbollah in Lebanon during a ceasefire. PBS included it but The Five, Jesse Watters Primetime and Hannity didn't mention it.

They're doing that Pink Washing thing where they use trans/ trans issues as a shield against criticism of the hatred and bullshit they spread.
It's just minority group activism hijacking at its rank worst and it has such a horrible impact on the LGBTQ+ community.
