"When Dinesh D’Souza’s movie 2,000 Mules arrived on the scene in 2022, it was an immediate MAGA smash—a 'masterpiece of meeting market demand,' as WaPo’s Philip Bump put it earlier this year. ...

Now its distributors are retracting it."

‘2,000 Mules’ Retracted, Still Lodged in Grandma's Brain

Plus: A possible ceasefire in Gaza, and Biden speaks on Trump's conviction.

The Bulwark

"The movie’s claims were immediately debunked as so patently absurd that even Fox News wouldn’t cover them. That did not stop Trump from airing the film at Mar-a-Lago and touting it as proof that he’d rightfully won the presidency in 2020. And in his bid to keep his bar license in DC, Rudy Giuliani even cited the movie as evidence that his election fraud claims were true. (Spoiler Alert: LOL.)"

2000 Mules Gets Kicked

D'Souza didn't get kicked. That's just his normal face.

Law and Chaos

"The producer of the Dinesh D’Souza 2020 election conspiracy film '2,000 Mules' will cease its distribution and remove it from its platforms apparently as part of a settlement of a defamation lawsuit brought by a Georgia man whom the film falsely depicts as illegally voting."

~ David Kurtz

Because the film's a pack of lies, and given the chance to defend those lies, True the Vote ran and hid.

Morning Memo

#MAGA Agenda Falling Apart in the Courts

1. True the Vote, the right-wing organization that insisted it had evidence of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election, has told a GA judge that…it has no such evidence.

Their claims provided the basis for the arguments about voter fraud highlighted in right-wing [nutcase] Dinesh #DSouza’s film #2000Mules.

2. A grand jury convened by Special Counsel David Weiss, whom #Trump appointed to investigate #HunterBiden, indicted former #FBI informant Alexander #Smirnov for making a false statement and creating a false and fictitious record about Hunter Biden

Today House speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) canceled tomorrow’s votes and sent the House of Representatives into recess until February 28. Before recessing, Johnson refused to take up the national security supplemental bill the Senate passed early Tuesday morning, providing aid for Ukraine, Israel, and Taiwan and humanitarian aid for Gaza. Johnson said the House must “work its own will” rather than vote on the bill at hand because the measure did not include border security measures.
