A meta-lie.
Tom CoalIs it allowed to call a #lie a lie, or is it just another #opinion? Julia #Klöckner calls for #civility in #parliament, which I find #problematic. Thank you for the inspiration @jbouie @roxanegay in the @NYTimes.
Denise G'So that is not true': MSNBC cuts JD Vance's audio as he pushes GOP lie
Vance attempted to place the blame for the government shutdown on Democrats despite Republican control of both chambers of Congress and the White House. He fell back on the GOP talking point that Democrats want to hand out free healthcare to undocumented immigrants, which is against the law.

Has a list of assertions which were not lies been dropped?
It might be a shorter list?
(The name "fact checking" dates from earlier times when writers didn't offer, and media didn't publish, assertions and statements which were not thought to be probably generally and 8n the main true, but in case a mistake had crept in they checked.
Nowadays, "claim investigation" or "assertion testing" might be better names.)

Trump: Delay, Lie, Fake Stuff
And I saw this person today
By Liza Donnelly, Sep 29, 2025
The above is a live drawing I did on my iPhone with my finger. I was waiting for the commuter train in Yonkers, NY and this elderly man on his phone walked by.
Adelita Grijalva was voted into the Arizona House in a special election last week, and it is significant because she is the first Latina American to be elected to Congress. But her election is also important because her promised vote on the resolution to release the Epstein files will be the 218th vote, and that will be enough House votes to force Speaker Johnson to release the files. But he is delaying her certification, claiming he is waiting until her election is official, despite her 40 points victory. From Meidas Touch: “Johnson’s new standard of waiting for all the votes to be counted was not in place two weeks ago when he swore in Democrat James Walkinshaw of Virginia with unofficial results immediately after his victory. Johnson has also routinely sworn in Republicans the day after their race is called.”
Delay is Trump’s magic wand, all his life he has gotten away with so much by delaying.
Oregon is suing Trump to stop him from deploying National Guard to the city, which he announce he would do over the weekend. On Saturday, Trump stated he would use “full force, if necessary,” to combat protests that he said were interfering with immigration enforcement.
“I think this is a sad day for our country, a sad day for Oregon that the president of the United States does not listen to local leaders about what they need,” Oregon Gov. Tina Kotek, a Democrat, told reporters.
“When the president and I spoke yesterday, I told him in very plain language there is no insurrection or threat to public safety that necessitates military intervention in Portland or any other city in our state,” Kotek said. “Putting our own military on our streets is an abuse of power … Local law enforcement has this under control.”
As of today, it appears Trump is backing away from this plan.
Good news: California doctors can now prescribe abortion pills anonymously. It is meant to shield doctors from out-of-state lawsuits.
Last night at 10:18, Trump posted a fake video, an AI generated Fox report. It was about how Trump will be making healthcare “available to everyone,” except just a few offers will be available to start.
“Every American will soon receive their own MedBed card.” As the video shows what looks like a futuristic hospital, complete with what appear to be podlike beds, he continues: “With it, you’ll have guaranteed access to our new hospitals led by the top doctors in the nation, equipped with the most advanced technology in the world. This is the beginning of a new era in American healthcare.”
@jaketapperTrump shares apparent AI video promoting ‘medbed’ conspiracy theory
I learned that MedBeds are a conspiracey theory promoted by QAnon people in which there is a world where there exists these magic beds that can cure anything, from aging to whatever that befalls the human body. But, according to QAnon, these beds are only available to the rich and elite. The post has since been deleted.
I am sure that in the few hours this was live on social media, it created a major stir in the QAnon community, let alone regular followers. It is a very cynical, manipulative use of AI to trick his followers. Heather Cox Richardson writes, “If MedBeds were real and “every citizen” could use them, as the deep fake video suggests, no one would need to worry about losing their healthcare insurance.”

WIST QuotationsIf the main pillar of the system is living a lie, then it is not surprising that the fundamental threat to it is living in truth. This is why it must be suppressed more severely than anything else.
