"I am not going to be in the same party with Hasan Piker ... if he becomes a force in the Democratic Party, I am out of here," James Carville says on Fox this morning. Reminder: The Left Insurgency airs tonight on CNN at 8p ET.

🧵Democrats/the left have close to as comprehensive an online media ecosystem now as MAGA had four years ago. From Crooked Media and Meidas to Hasan Piker and Zeteo -- even Ezra Klein at the NYT. This has been essential to the rise of democratic socialist candidates.

Hasan Piker didn't endorse Kamala Harris in 2024 — largely over her stance on Israel, an approach other Democrats say only helps Republicans. I asked Piker whether he'd back the 2028 Democratic nominee.

The core of the right-wing information universe is that one correction from a mainstream outlet proves it can’t be trusted and that one accurate claim in a flurry of false ones proves that they must be.

This is exactly what I run into with conspiracy theorists — a stray, unverified claim gets treated as if it debunks the real story, and it almost always falls apart under scrutiny. Wild to hear that pattern showing up at 60 Minutes as Cecilia Vega describes it.

To all of us. It’s happened to me, and I have spent years of professional life learning to check and recheck. And check again.

This isn’t just happening to the wacky tin-foil-hat folks, clearly. In some ways it’s happening to all of us, dozens or hundreds of times a day, on our social media feeds. Algorithms serve us the things they know we want to hear, shaping our perceptions of everything.

A good reminder that it is happening to nearly all of us. I remember one time being embarrassed when corrected by a mate after repeating some falsehood I read online but didn’t check because it sounded plausible. Who knows how many times I was wrong without the correction.

For either financial gain or for political expedience, those in control of social media algorithms are routinely messing with our heads. And our social media addiction lets them to do this to us over and over and over again. Cut down your social media use! Treat it like a drug habit.

Wait. They all shake hands at the end? What are we even doing here? He's the US President suing you for $20 billion for reporting on the birthday card he sent his friend the pedophile in which he drew a naked girl & mused about secrets. And they all shake hands?

Remarkable camera angle of President Trump as he listens to Wall Street Journal reporters receiving an award for their investigation into Trump’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein — which they pursued despite Trump’s threats and lawsuit.

🧵Worth remembering that there's a big chunk of Americans online who obsess over the most obscure, meaningless social media posts and contort them to fit their conspiracy theories. Trump's release last night is rocket fuel for exactly that audience...

Prominent 2020 election deniers like Steve Bannon immediately used Trump's speech Thursday to sow doubts about the integrity of the upcoming midterm elections. www.cnn.com/2026/07/16/p...
