1. Judicial Watch continues to push maliciously false information about Iowa voter registration.

Even if you include inactive voters (which makes little sense) his report is still wrong.

popular.info/p/lying-with-n…
2. Voters become inactive when the Secretary of State believes they have MOVED. So these folks aren't going to show up in population surveys.

If they do show up to vote, they are essentially treated the same as unregistered voters.

3. There still aren't 8 counties in Iowa with more active + inactive registered voters than the population

Even if there were, it would not mean anything.

The registration data is from this year and the most recent population data is from 2 years ago

4. Don't take it from me though. Just listen to Iowa's REPUBLICAN SECRETARY OF STATE. He says the Judicial Watch report is B.S. And it's all verifiable with public data.

5. UPDATE: Tom Fitton, president of Judicial Watch, is not happy with this thread. I responded to his objection.

1. In Ohio, GOP officials are abusing their power to smear @HillaryMueri, a promising Congressional candidate.

And the local and national media spread their lies without doing basic verification.

@HillaryMueri 2. The Ohio GOP filed a complaint with the state Attorney General, claiming that Mueri had voted in the 2008 primary in Ohio and California, suggesting she committed a felony.

@HillaryMueri 3. The Ohio Secretary of State (@FrankLaRose), without doing any investigation, immediately released a statement saying it was "the exact type of violation I would refer to the Attorney General."

1. Zuckerberg and other Facebook execs love to talk about the company's third-party fact-checking program.

But how much content is actually fact-checked?

And how much does Facebook actually invest in the initiative?

Not much.

popular.info/p/the-facts-ab…
2. Facebook has 7 active fact-checking partners that review content in the US

In January, they fact-checked 302 pieces of content.

There are more than 200 million Facebook users in the US

This is like draining the ocean with a thimble

popular.info/p/the-facts-ab…
3. Why is so little content fact-checked?

One reason is that Facebook spends very little money on the program.

My best estimate is that Facebook spent $1.2 million on the program in 2019.

That's an investment of 0.0016% of its 2019 revenue

Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (20 – 26 October)

1. This is my weekly summary of news that the legacy media and Democrats have obfuscated for partisan political reasons. Once again, I am doing longer quotes of fewer articles this week, as I am still overseas.
2. We’ve talked about this one before: corruption in US foreign aid. Foggy Bottom needs to be shut down, and all US foreign aid stopped because it is nothing but a piggy bank for the political class.

Thread: News Summary from the Week that Was (25 – 31 August)

1. Time for another dose of the real news that the legacy media continually sweep under the rug because it doesn’t fit their “Republican bad, Democrats good” narrative.
2. Speaking of the legacy media, let’s start off with a look at all the former Obama regime CIA and FBI officials now working at CNN and MSNBC:

<quote>
2A. CNN added to its deep roster of former FBI and CIA officials-turned-analysts Friday with the hiring of Andrew McCabe, the former FBI deputy director fired for lack of candor during an investigation last year.

Thread on #nonviolence theory and in particular the way #ExtinctionRebellion have over simplified 'Why Civil Resistance Works' research (WCRW) to short circuit important discussions around diversity of tactics that any #ClimateEmergency movement must have #NVDA #XR /1
XR uses unsourced claim from WCRW that non violent movements are twice as successful in many XR places including FAQ but assumptions in original paper make its claims irrelevant to debate around tactical diversity in radical environmental movement rebellion.earth/the-truth/faqs/ /2
First off violent movements are defined in WCRW as those in which 1000 or more battle deaths between armed combatants. This not only excludes every environmental action ever described as 'violent' but also armed groups like the Zapatistas & even Red Army Faction /3

Biggest cheer during @iowademocrats chair @troymprice's opening remarks came after he predicted #Iowa Ds will "send @joniernst into an early retirement." #IASen #HallofFame
Sen @CoryBooker is 1st candidate to speak at #HallofFame event. (19 candidates will each have 5 minutes)
"We are being tested. This is a moral moment in America, and we must meet this test. I'm running for president because we can't take 4 more years of Donald Trump." #iacaucus
But @CoryBooker isn't just running to beat Donald Trump. That's the floor, not the ceiling. We can't just run on what we are against. Democrats need to tell people what we are for. "Every American needs health care, and make no mistake, abortion is health care." #iacaucus
