Dear Dems,
Stop asking. No more money. None. Until you get your act together and respond with the fire and fury and action the times demand.
ProPublica uncovers just where Kristi Noem may have gotten her $50,000 Rolex. We’ve not only defined “America” down, we’ve redefined grift as public service.

When Cybernews published an article about a 16 billion credentials leak, some of us strongly criticized the article as irresponsible and misleading journalism. Although some people have tried to suggest that the Cybernews article had some value in highlighting infostealers, the article was so riddled with falsehoods and misleading statements that the confusion and misunderstandings it created outweighs any benefit one might try to ascribe to it.

To his credit, @JayeLTee and a colleague have taken the time to analyze the datasets used in Cybernews‘ reporting and to fact-check their reporting with actual data and proof from their own research.

He has now written up their findings, in which they identified no less than five significant false claims by Cybernews. You can read his report here:

The reason Mike Johnson doesn’t give a fuck about his constituents losing healthcare is simple: he wants them to.

He is an agent of a fundamentalist religious movement that wants to tear down all social services by government so that they can then provide some half-assed version of those services as a way to control people. It’s just “abusive household” on an industrial scale.

Hard to find the original, but I love this

They use their ill-gotten, anti-democratic power to attack Americans. They are, clearly, anti-American.

Is Stephen Miller the Reincarnation of Joseph Goebbels?

Stephen Miller is what happens when Joseph Goebbels gets a LinkedIn profile and a Roth IRA. He is not merely a hardliner or a policy “wonk.” He is the fully realized bureaucratic face of white nationalism in the 21st century—clean-cut, desk-bound, and armed with spreadsheets instead of armbands.

Kari Lake falsely tells HFAC that "malicious lawsuits" prevented her for gearing up broadcasts to Iran. Actually she was responsible for throwing everyone out of VOA's headquarters.
