Probably not a great sign for where things are heading when this guy starts going back on Bannon’s show…

In my lifetime I don’t think anything has made me want to give up on this broken country like the mass shared delusion about something that happened just a few years ago. So many brains are just completely gone and they’re not coming back.

Trump's effort to subvert the Midterm elections has ramped up. But who's amplifying his lies the most? @goangelo.bsky.social joins @chrisjonesprod.bsky.social and @jacobjarvis.bsky.social to get into that and how @mmfa.bsky.social can counter it all 👉 linktr.ee/americanfric...
Republicans can’t seem to name a single thing Trump has done wrong. Media Matters President and CEO @goangelo.bsky.social reacts.
good morning mr president, heres your daily list of things you can do to make everyones life worse but will make you the center of attention
Got up insanely early to talk about aftermath of Trump’s speech. Bottom line: A dud by many metrics. But be careful. It wasn’t intended to convince; it was to activate and arm the faithful. It was the starting gun going off for a sequence of attacks against the election. youtu.be/HTboRPK5ZKc?...
Trump’s base wants ‘the guillotine’: Steve Bannon blasts Fox News over election coverage
YouTube video by MS NOW

Here's John Solomon ambling away from MS NOW's Vaughn Hillyard after he admits that there's no intelligence that shows any votes were flipped in the 2020 election. He blurts out "I'm researching" and "not yet" when Hillyard presses if he has proof the election was stolen. x.com/VaughnHillya...
Lot of the documents Trump released tonight are still heavily redacted... what are doing here?
Sean Hannity gave some brief discussion alongside a Fox correspondent after the speech, said it all sounds really bad and his show will look into the documents in the days to come, and now he's moved on to Iran.
Fox News already stopped talking about it. Hannity moved on. Is now talking about Iran.
A reporter for the Wall Street Journal says both NBC and ABC are declining to carry Trump’s speech live tonight.
I swear if the treatment for this diarrhea cyclospora turns out to be ivermectin, I will be going full blown conspiracy theorist.
Every time I learn more about cyclospora, I regret it The incubation time is between 2 days and 2 WEEKS? It can last a few days or a MONTH or LONGER? screw this, man
Important context ahead of Trump’s speech tonight. We have been warning about Solomon’s role / involvement for months www.mediamatters.org/john-solomon...
Misinformer John Solomon, who reportedly pushed for Trump’s prime-time speech, has spent months claiming China interfered in the 2020 election to help Joe Biden

News organizations should periodically stop and look in the mirror and ask themselves “Have we internalized copspeak to the point that our headlines indistinguishable from police department email subject lines?”
i am begging democrats to take this threat to our elections as seriously as they take a fundraising deadline

The MAGA plot to subvert the 2026 midterm elections is coming into focus. 1. Declassify docs to claim 2020 was stolen. 2. Declare a "national emergency" to seize control of the election apparatus. 3. Hope the "national security" predicate keeps courts out. www.mediamatters.org/voter-fraud-...
MAGA media's laughable propaganda about Trump's popularity is instrumental to the plot to subvert elections

Good question. So honestly, they don’t seem to have settled on a narrative yet. One track is to blame China, the other is to blame Venezuela (as you indicated). They’ve been cooking up both and letting them simmer.
donnayoungdc@donnayoungdc.bsky.social · 3w agoIs this going to be where Mobster Trump [clearly falsely] claims Nicolás Maduro helped Joe Biden, and now in exchange for Maduro's cooperation, he's granting the Venezuelan dictator a pardon? And who will keystone cops Todd Blanche & Kash Patel arrest in this farce? #2026Elections #2026Midterms
So, this is something I've been talking a lot about on TV the past few weeks John Solomon, Bill Pulte...the playbook is pretty clear (Bannon actually laid it out). Solomon is working on a WH task force to help identify (manufacture) instances of foreign interference in 2020. Pulte will declassify.

One thing I haven’t seen noted enough about Lindsey Graham is that he was a loud living embodiment of Sidekick Syndrome. If you look at the arc of his life, he was either a vocal sidekick or desperately auditioning for a new main character latch onto.
Oh and for fwiw, I don’t believe that re speaking ill of dead. Yes, there should be basic reverence for death and shouldn’t go out of your way to malign, but if speaking basic truths about how someone lived and exercised power they had reflects negatively that’s more on them than the speaker.
Angelo Carusone@goangelo.bsky.social · 4w agoNot wanting to speak ill of the dead doesn’t mean you have to say adulatory things about. Hope many leading voices keep that in mind.

That slurp. It sounds like someone dubbed in sound effects.
