[Hunter Biden @HunterBiden]

We all knew he was lying about the Reflecting Pool. The problem is that he lies so often that it’s almost impossible to keep up.

So I asked AI to compile claims from just the past twenty-four months and then checked them against official data, contemporaneous reporting and independent fact-checks.

Here is a partial list of 86 lies:
1. He promised to bring prices down “starting on Day One.” Grocery prices remained high and continued rising.
2. After winning, he admitted that prices are very hard to bring down once they have gone up.
3. He said egg prices had fallen 93 percent. They had not fallen remotely close to 93 percent.
4. He said he inherited the highest inflation in American history. He inherited an annual inflation rate of 2.9 percent.
5. When corrected, he changed the claim to the worst inflation in 49 years. That was also false. Annual inflation reached 23.7 percent in 1920.
6. He said there was virtually no inflation during his first term. Consumer prices rose approximately 8 percent.
7. He repeatedly claimed he had already brought inflation down, including during periods when the annual inflation rate was higher than the 2.9 percent reported shortly before he took office.
8. He told Congress inflation was “plummeting.” Prices were still rising overall, including major household expenses such as housing, electricity and medical care.
9. He claimed to have secured $18 trillion in new investment.
10. He then raised the figure to $19.2 trillion.
11. Even the White House’s own tracker listed far less, and its total included multiyear pledges, purchasing agreements, previously announced projects and commitments that might never become actual US investment.
12. He said America was building more factories than ever.
13. He said factory construction was rising.
14. He said the country had achieved its highest growth ever. Manufacturing employment declined, factory-construction claims depended on cherry-picked categories, and economic growth was nowhere near a historical record.
15. He called the country he inherited a dead country. The US economy grew 2.8 percent in 2024, faster than every other major wealthy economy except Spain.
16. He says foreign countries pay his tariffs. American importers pay them and frequently pass the cost on to American consumers.
17. He said the evidence overwhelmingly showed consumers did not pay his tariffs. Economic studies found that American consumers and businesses absorbed nearly all their cost.
18. He said tariff revenue came with “no inflation.” Prices continued rising, and economic research found that the tariffs themselves increased costs for American consumers and businesses.
19. He repeatedly said drug prices were down 70, 80 or 90 percent. No broad measure of prescription-drug prices showed anything close to those reductions.
20. He said Medicaid was “left the same.” The Congressional Budget Office estimated that the legislation would reduce federal Medicaid spending by roughly $930 billion over ten years.
21. He said Americans were “not going to feel any of it.” The Congressional Budget Office projected that the legislation would leave approximately 11.8 million more people uninsured.
22. He said the Medicaid changes touched only waste, fraud and abuse. Independent analyses found that the legislation reduced coverage and federal spending far beyond fraudulent claims.
23. He said he had eliminated taxes on Social Security. The law created a temporary deduction, unavailable to many beneficiaries, that expires after 2028. It did not abolish taxation of Social Security benefits.
24. He said taxes would rise 68 percent without his bill. No credible independent estimate came close to supporting that figure.
25. He then declared, “I’ve kept all my promises and much more.”
26. He publicly promised at least 53 times to end the Ukraine war within 24 hours, or even before taking office.

If SCOTUS caves to Trump and guts mail-in voting months before the midterms, it will throw our elections into chaos.

That’s exactly what MAGA wants. The more Americans vote, the harder it is for Trump to cling to power.

Show up. Vote. We can’t let them win.

[Overton @overton_news]

Van Jones says his phone has been “blowing up all day” after he publicly called out the socialist takeover of the Democrat Party.

Jones says governors and senators from both parties have been calling to thank him for saying what many Democrats have only been willing to say behind closed doors.

JONES: “This phone has been blowing up all day.”

“Governors from both parties, Senators from both parties, Democrats in the House calling, thanking me for saying what everybody’s been saying behind the scenes.”

“Which is that this stuff is going too far.”

“I am a progressive Democrat. You want to talk about prison reform? I’ve done it as well as anybody.”

“I’ve done prison reform. I never said have no prisons. Where are you going to put the Klan?”

“I’ve done police reform. I never said no police. Where are you going to put the pedophiles? Who’s going to grab the pedophiles?”

“This stuff is going too far!”

“I am happy that the young people are fighting for affordability, Medicare for All, all the good things I’ve been waiting my whole life to see a youth movement do what it’s doing, but it’s being hijacked by people who are putting in nutty ideas...supporting terrorists, saying we don’t need cops and prisons.”

“We can’t deport anybody, even if they rape somebody…”

[TV News Now @TVNewsNow]

🚨 CNN’s Van Jones BLASTS socialist Democrats: “I am tired, tired, tired of a set of people on the very far left in the Democratic party… ideas that are literally insane. Nutty. Moronic. Dangerous. Bigoted. They are not progressive, they are regressive and they should not be in our party.”

[Mike Levin @MikeLevin]

No president in American history has sold his foreign policy this openly. 

Days before Trump took office, a company controlled by the United Arab Emirates national security adviser paid $500,000,000 for a 49% stake in the Trump family crypto venture, World Liberty Financial.

Trump’s own financial disclosure released last month shows he personally pocketed $263,000,000 from that sale. It was one of the largest single chunks of his income for the year.

Now the payoff.

Last week Trump’s Commerce Department reclassified the UAE so its main AI company, controlled by the same royal who bought into his crypto firm, can freely buy the most advanced American chips. It moved the UAE out of a group that included China and into the group with our closest allies.

Industry analysts say the access is worth billions.

A foreign government put a quarter of a billion dollars in the President’s pocket. Then that same government got a favor from his administration worth billions. National security experts have already raised concerns about those chips being diverted to China.

Presidents used to put their assets in a blind trust so nobody could ever ask this question. Trump kept his and cashed the check.

Either we will end the corruption, or the corruption will be the end of us.

[Anastasiya Paraskevova @UkrainianAna]

Sick and tired of his stupid audience coping that he isn't anti-Ukraine, as well as suicidal naivete of libs and lefties who think he isn't malicious.
His position is exactly the same as it was in the infamous clips he tried to distance himself from:
A) "Cry me a river, Ukrainians were part of russia, historically russian land"
B) "Too white to care" aka we ain't brown and we aren't fighting against Western imperialism but against russian, which Hasan does not oppose.
C) "Ukrainian lives under occupation won't change that much, I am not worried" - this, was a monstrous lie Hasan allowed unchallenged on his platform. In reality, russians are prohibiting all and any expression of Ukrainian culture, language, mass rape, tortue, deport, imprison and kill Ukrainians in occupation systematically, settle russians there instead of the people they killed or deported, proudly announce on the state level that they will have to exterminate 30-50% of the population to cleanse us and make sure we ain't a threat and what is left in occupation is russification, terror, isolation and degradation. Hasan knows this, it was brought to his attention many times, he just doesn't give a fuck.
D) We gave peace a try dozens of times but russians throw our people in the mass graves, proceed to daily massacre our civilians, bomb children with cancer in a hospital and as well as 1000+ other medical facilities, destroy our cultural heritage, record videos of decapitation and their human safari in Kherson aka the most well documented targeting of civilians by hunting them down with drones. And, of course, reject any peace deal that wasn't utter capitulation that includes disarmament of our forces and giving them the East and South, more than they were actually able to take, with zero guarantees from anyone that this will prevent them from attacking again. "No harm in this" indeed 🙃
E) He also lies, of course, about Ukrainians wanting to capitulate, absolutele majority of Ukrainians (75%) are against territorial concessions with no proper security guarantees.
And 52% are just plain against any ceding of land.
Hasan doesn't care what Ukrainians want however, he has an agenda to push.
F) Give this advice to Gaza, you absolute fucking cunt 🙂

[Digital Ground Game @DigitalGroundG]

Stop saying “F*ck ICE.” Tell us your plan to reform it.

Stop saying “Free Palestine.” Tell us your pathway to achieving a lasting peace.

Stop saying “Medicare for All.” Explain how you’re actually going to build the coalition and persuade enough lawmakers to pass it.

If candidates who campaign on slogans instead of governing continue to win primaries, then it’s no wonder Donald Trump is president again.

Something has gone wrong in our politics. While many Democrats focused on governing, media spaces were increasingly dominated by outrage pundits and political entertainers. We normalized some of the most deplorable voices and shifted the Overton window toward post-liberal politics.

Challenging institutions and questioning the status quo can be healthy and progressive. But, we should always ask who benefits when public trust in every institution is eroded. Remember, not everyone trying to tear something down is interested in building something better.

Our adversaries are laughing because, in today’s America, experienced legislators are expected to answer to online personalities and oyster farmers whose entire political program amounts to repeating slogans.

The Biden administration didn’t have to chant “Free Palestine” to pursue a two-state solution, increase humanitarian aid, support Palestinian self-determination, oppose Hamas, and apply pressure on the far-right Israeli government.

The Obama administration didn’t have to abolish immigration enforcement to pursue immigration reform, expand protections for immigrants, and explore practical ways to improve our system.

The Clinton administration didn’t spend every day campaigning on universal health care. Instead, it focused on economic growth, deficit reduction, and policies that contributed to greater financial stability for many Americans, while pursuing health care reforms that ultimately fell short.

Could Democratic administrations have done better? Absolutely. Every administration leaves unfinished work.

But people who dismiss decades of incremental progress as meaningless while offering nothing beyond slogans are not interested in offering solutions.

America is not perfect, but it is a great country. Its strength comes from electing representatives who understand that governing requires responsibility, coalition-building, compromise, and results, not political entertainers selling snake oil, repeating catchphrases, or turning politics into a reality show.

Be gone, @grahamformaine. You’re every bit as disgraceful as the people who stood by your side and still, to this day, refuse to take accountability for the lies they’ve fed to Americans who still believe in our democracy!
