David Seide, senior counsel for the #GovernmentAccountabilityProject, which is representing plaintiffs in litigation against the #Trump admin, called the announcement “shocking & illegal” & said it will be challenged in court.
Last year, #OAN settled a #defamation lawsuit w/ #Smartmatic, the #voting tech company, over its coverage of the #2020election & promotion of the #BigLie.

Of course, the #budget proposes to eliminate the #Cybersecurity & Infrastructure Security Agency’s work on #disinformation. In a news release hailing the elimination of various agencies, #Trump admin ofcls said that #CISA had functioned as “a hub in the Censorship Industrial Complex” & had conspired against Trump [by telling the truth & debunking his lies].
George Orwell in his novel “Nineteen Eighty-Four” called the Big Lie “doublethink”. Doublethink uses “logic against logic” and “repudiate[s] morality while laying claim to it.” The Big Lie abolishes nuances, ambiguities and contradictions that can plague conscience. It is designed to create cognitive dissonance. It permits no gray zones.

America’s BIGGEST scam: #Conman Trump’s ‘tariffs’ are nothing but a pay-to-play con masquerading as patriotism. Straight outta Bernie Madoff’s playbook—manipulate markets, extort businesses, and call it a win. #TariffScam #Dow #TrumpGrift #BigLie @jerasikehorn.bsky.social @senwhitehouse.bsky.social

'I'm in ruins!': Trump ditched his most loyal ally, now he's broke and desperate
Trump's most loyal follower squandered his millions spouting Trump's lies about the 2020 election.
Boo hoo
LOL! Yeah, I have no sympathy for you. I hope you lose everything and end up in the gutter... but I'm sure the welfare system will help you --- whoops - your pal donnie is going to kill that too.
Given the constant stream of lies that flow from @PierrePoilievre's mouth, it's clear he has taken a page straight from Goebbels' playbook. 🤥
"A lie told a thousand times becomes the truth." 🧐
This was the first principle of Nazi Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels. Known as the "big lie" or the "illusion of truth," it suggests that repeatedly stating a falsehood can lead people to believe it, even if it's demonstrably false. 🎭
⬆️ Senate confirmed #HarmeetDhillon to head the Civil Rights Division. She helped Trump spread the #BigLie about voter fraud… and will likely be a major figure in the war on #DEI. But even more pernicious would be a policy of looking the other way on police abuse,… over-policing policies like “stop and frisk”, racially biased pretextual stops of drivers, and indefinite pause on … investigations of police departments suspected of widespread civil rights violations.

#Republican #House just passed a bill that would require people prove they were US citizens when they registered to #vote, 220-208, w/4 #Democrats joining #Republicans. The bill, which is unlikely to make it through the #Senate, echoes an EO #Trump signed last month as part of his push to tighten voting laws tied to his #BigLie.
It is already against the #law for noncitizens to vote in federal elections, & there is NO evidence of voting by noncitizens.
"The notion that Canada is not real is an example of the complaisant lies that imperialists tell themselves before beginning doomed wars of aggression. The specific association of Canada with fentanyl is a big lie that allows Americans to shift responsibility away to a chosen enemy and enter a world of geopolitical fantasy."
As Timothy Snyder notes,
"When Trump announces an aggressive policy, he attaches to it a grotesque justification. The nonsensical fiction is supposed remain in our minds, as a button to be pushed, so that we accept violence. ...
Big lies today? That Canada attacked the United States first by sending masses of fentanyl across the border. And also that Canada also does not really exist."

#Nazi propaganda taught that the “Big Lie”—a falsehood repeated enough times—becomes the truth. #Trump: “Rigged election.” “Fake news.” “Witch hunt.” He follows the playbook, flooding the media with lies until people believe them. #BigLie #FakeNews #WitchHunt

He’s the first one that told the #BigLie
"Trump’s economic plans are incoherent and incomprehensible at least partially by design. The goal, by this longtime scam artist, is to bamboozle the American people and take their money."

I’m old enough to remember Bernie did the #BigLie first.
While talking about the #BigLie, Bernie used a classic classroom technique - audience participation! He asked questions and took answers from the audience. 18/
"Dans ce 3eme épisode d’analyse sur la transformation des États-Unis sous Trump, nous explorons le projet politique de Peter Thiel et son influence croissante à travers son protégé JD Vance. Au-delà d'une simple analyse du trumpisme, cet épisode révèle comment une alliance inédite entre tech-right américaine et forces anti-démocratiques menace directement l'Europe. À travers l'étude des réseaux d'influence, des techniques de manipulation et des vulnérabilités européennes, nous comprenons que ce qui se joue est une tentative de redéfinition radicale de l'ordre mondial. Un épisode crucial pour saisir les enjeux du moment historique que nous vivons."—Julien Devaureix
