This is how to cover this. NPR did a spot on the award and said nothing about 2020 and Giuliani’s lies.
I remember early November 2023. I think I was the first person on US mainstream media, while at MSNBC/Peacock, to say the G-word on TV. On my show. It was seen as hugely controversial then. It's controversial no longer. It's undeniable, irrefutable, the consensus view.
Below the radar, the second Trump administration has taken extraordinary steps to expand the rights of gun owners and manufacturers. He doesn't care about crime, nor does he care about kids. Trump 2.0 shows every sign of doing anything the NRA wants. trib.al/JOEX4xp

Trump and his greedhead cronies may get a big surprise in spite of their efforts to rig the 2026 election. They could find themselves swamped by a blue wave. Americans are wising up to the fact that Trump is turning the American dream into a nightmare.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio said on Friday that he would not issue visas to Palestinian officials to prevent them from attending the annual UN General Assembly in New York next month.
The damage this man has done is incalculable.
Trump and Dr. Oz want AI to decide which Medicare patients get care—and they're giving AI companies a profit-incentive to deny coverage. Everything about this is sick and wrong. Tell Congress to intervene NOW:
Reason 4857 why health care should never be for profit: AI DEATH PANELS. This is the same kind of program used to deny claims at United Health, and they want to use this for VA claims, too.
Ditto
Trump's betting that people won't notice that he has inflicted - without Congres and without legal authority - one of the largest and most regressive peacetime tax increases in American history.
Agree. They have proven to be weak and useless

Your occasional reminder that the current U.S. government — headed by a felon, his personal attorneys, and other criminal sympathizers — has used federal power 1) to protect convicted thugs who assaulted police in his behalf and 2) to punish the law enforcement officials who prosecuted those thugs.

🇺🇸🇺🇦 Zelenskyy: In Mukachevo, the Russians practically burned down an American company producing electronics—home appliances, nothing military. The Russians knew exactly where they lobbed the missiles. We believe this was a deliberate attack against American property and investments in Ukraine.
Do you know how insane and infuriating it is to live in a country where one party claims, with media and public support, the mantle of being the ‘tough on crime’ party while its leader openly calls for convicted criminals to be released from prison ‘or else’?

This is part of the eugenics movement. Disabled people should die, and poor people are obviously inferior so they should die, too. Obviously it's also part of the massive transfer of wealth to the upper .01% at the expense of everyone else movement, that Republicans implement every chance they get.
Slavery wasn't just bad, it was EVIL, and a horrific violation of human rights. Hundreds of thousands of Union Troops died defeating traitors who defended slavery and turned against their country. Trump wants us to forget those Union Troops and what they fought for. To him we say: GO TO HELL
