There are a lot of things that Donald Trump wants to rewrite about his past. But as he prepares to resume power, I have put together a story that I hope you will find useful to combat dis/misinformation and propaganda.

So, WHY wasn't Trump charged with insurrection?
I wrote an explainer for HuffPost to answer that exact question.
Have your opinions but arm yourselves with facts:

Smith's report is the end of a years long probe that followed the law faithfully and dutifully. No matter what Trump says or does about this report or the people who lawfully investigated him, it doesn't change the evidence the world saw with its own eyes.

Some are asking me why I'd quit Mastodon if I end up being laid off in a few weeks: mostly because I don't know if I am going to be able to stay in this industry. This could be the fourth layoff I've experienced. Im clawing desperately to stay in the industry. I am very happy at HuffPost and am so excited to work here. But if I get laid off, I literally don't know where my next paycheck is coming from let alone what my posts will be online. Thanks for your support. Let's hope I have a job to do.
@johnelamb i won't know for a month.

Hope to have more information soon.
The former New York City mayor was faced with an ultimatum that he, apparently, couldn't abide.
Unfortunately, as some of you messaged to ask, it is true, there are layoffs coming to HuffPost. I don't have much more information to give you at this time but I sincerely hope I'm still here to report for you in the weeks ahead.

After the Capitol was attacked, it was Henry Tarrio who took credit.
Easy to forget that if you aren't paying attention.
"Make no mistake,” Tarrio wrote to members of Proud Boys leadership. “We did this."
Now he wants a pardon.

All right folks, I am off social media until the new year. I hope you all get a chance to enjoy some downtime with family and friends. Thanks, as always, for reading and following my work now and for all of these years. We have much work ahead. I genuinely feel privileged to do it. Bye, 2024!
