You're seeing in real time how disinformation works. This is an outright, intentional lie from someone who knows better.
Governor Abbott graduated from Vanderbilt Law, was a Supreme Court Justice in Texas, and was the Attorney General. He knows that Trump was not indicted by the DOJ or by President Biden, but by a grand jury of Floridians who heard the evidence presented and made a decision based on the rule of law. The DOJ or a President cannot 'indict' anyone at their whim.
I'm sure this isn't the first time you've seen this claim on your feed today. This lie is the passed around talking point that's being pushed out to allied Senators, Members of Congress, and Governors to repeat over and over again in hopes folks don't know any better — to distract from the substance of the indictment. It is a distraction from an action that deserves no excuses.
Unfortunately for all of them, lies only support a cracking foundation for so long.
If you aren’t out in the middle of the country looking at Jupiter (and the whole sky, really) you’re missing out. Closest Jupiter has been in 59 years and it’s insane to see. ✨ 💫
NEW: Lauren Boebert just said she is “tired” of the separation of church and state, calling it “junk.” She added, “The church is supposed to direct the government!”
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.
CNN's Alisyn Camerota just asked a Texas state representative "why does your legislature work so quickly to protect embryos but not for living, breathing 10-year-olds?"
Americans ages 18 to 20 commit 18% of all gun homicides, while making up only 4% of the US population.
Not only does the @NRA think teens should be able to buy semiautomatic rifles, they’re trying to lower the federal age to buy a handgun to 18, too.
An elementary school! Jesus. I cannot imagine sending a child to school every day in this country. It’s not safe. We’re so desensitized to this shit at this point… no one is surprised, nothing changes, and the news stories move on almost immediately..it’s sickening.
Pre-Roe, I was 8 yrs old. I came home from school to find my Mom lying in a puddle of blood. She was weak & asked me to call a neighbor. She was miscarrying, but the embryo would not abort. For 48 hours, she bled while doctors transfused blood, waiting. Abortions were illegal.
@AmericanAir we will never fly with your airline again. Worst experience ever with both of our flights this week. Horribly rude flight attendants and multiple hour delays each time. Do better.
