No, the scandal of our times is the President using disinformation to disenfranchise millions of Americans during a pandemic.
I am hoping that Twitter adds a fact-check to this tweet, though I fear it will already be too late by that juncture.
More on how politicians' use of disinformation undermines the global fight against it in my book, hardback out July 9, e-book out now.

I must add that in the years I have worked on disinfo/election manipulation, never have I ever heard a suggestion that foreign countries printing/distributing mail in ballots is a viable way to interfere in an election. It doesn’t make sense and would be impossible to pull off.

A friend at State has just confirmed that this is actually happening. The United States is accepting coronavirus aid from the Russian Federation.
This isn't about banding together as humans, either. The Kremlin deploys foreign aid strategically. And I'm sure a lot of Russians in need aren't going to see a drop of it.
Russian aid* convoy going to Eastern Ukraine, 2014

*Though some supplies were delivered this aid convoy, it was also used to smuggle soldiers and weapons into occupied Eastern Ukraine. Also interesting to deliver aid to a war zone you created

For a moment, may I please opine on the allegation that the Democratic primary has been "rigged?"

As someone who has studied and observed elections in countries where election rigging is very real, it offends and worries me.

A thread.
Friends who ran for local office in Russia were denied a place on the ballot because their forms were stapled, not paperclipped. Election officials scrutinized signatures they had painstakingly collected.

This is election rigging.
Russian election observation group Golos was declared a "foreign agent" by the Kremlin after uncovering systematic inaccuracies in the 2011 Duma elections. That label made their work uncovering election disruptions much more difficult.

This is election rigging.

This morning I woke up to a message from @vanbadham about disinformation spreading in the midst of the wildfires in Australia.

1. Does the outlet list staff and contact info? Reputable news outlets should have real people on their mastheads, and more than a PO Box, or worse, a "contact us" form as their contact info. (3/)
