In one speech tonight...
RFK Jr. falsely claimed Democrats canceled their 2024 convention and didn't let delegates vote on the nominee. There was a convention. Delegates voted for Harris.
RFK Jr. falsely claimed Democrats closed every single church in the US for a year during the pandemic. Some Dem-run states did not forbid religious gatherings, while some GOP-run states did at least briefly.
RFK Jr. falsely claimed Trump ended nine wars. It's not even true that Trump ended the eight he cites himself.
RFK Jr. baselessly claimed Democrats lost 360,000 kids. Not what happened.
RFK Jr. claimed the Trump administration has reversed a 30-year decline in longevity. Not clear what stat he's citing, but US life expectancy rose for years, dropped briefly during the pandemic, then started to rebound in 2022 under Biden before hitting a new record high in 2024 under Biden.
And that's just a smattering of the checkable claims, many of which I don't have time to check.
@Jenn63074620@CBCNS@HalifaxWater Water fluoridation can reduce tooth decay in children’s primary teeth by up to 60% and in their permanent teeth by up to 35%. Adults experience a 20-40% reduction in tooth decay from lifelong exposure to water fluoridation. https://t.co/3due6a2vFX.
@SiouxHachey@stayathomexwife@CBCNS@HalifaxWater Water is a chemical and water toxemia can be fatal. Not all chemicals are bad. Many things that are toxic at extremely high levels can be very healthy at lower levels, water for example.

He’s all in his feels about the NY fraud case today.
He isn’t getting a jury because he demanded a bench trial.
If he’s worth much more than his financial statements, it’s also fraud.
“If they fell for it, it’s on them” is not a defense.
His “great company” has already been found liable for 17 counts of tax fraud.
The courts or the feds will not intercede on his behalf.
The End.
@clhubes Agree 💯. It is so negative and dismissive. As a new parent I have promised myself I will never say this to another parent. People who are struggling deserve validation and should’t be told “your struggle is nothing, wait until X”.
Comparisons (pics from @ryansnoddon): Juan was small but intense; not much rain.
Dorian much larger, more rain, & despite lower peak winds, a record number of outages in NS.
Fiona larger than Dorian, more rain, & peak winds likely as high as Juan: so overall a bigger threat...
I’m filled with sadness & rage by the loss of healthcare & freedom for those with the least means. Women who are well off will always be able to access an abortion. Impoverished people will bear the brunt of this devastating decision. #roeoverturned#AbortionRightsAreHumanRights
Today, the Supreme Court not only reversed nearly 50 years of precedent, it relegated the most intensely personal decision someone can make to the whims of politicians and ideologues—attacking the essential freedoms of millions of Americans.
Mariupol today. We publish the full text by Nadia Sukhorukova.
I go outside in between the bombings. I need to walk the dog. She's whining, shivering, and hiding behind my legs. I want to sleep all the time. My yard, surrounded by high-rise buildings, is silent and dead. 1/13
