‼️Study of 38 million English-language articles about the #CoronavirusPandemic finds that mentions of Trump made up nearly 38% of the overall “misinformation conversation,” making the Trump the largest driver of the “infodemic —LIES about the #pandemic.🤬
nytimes.com/2020/09/30/us/…
Lead @Cornell researcher Sarah Evanega says that Trump "was the single largest driver of misinformation around #Covid. That’s concerning in that there are real-world dire health implications.”

Trump's LIES cost LIVES.🤬

#coronavirus #TrumpLiesPeopleDie
The study identified 11 topics of misinformation. By far the most prevalent one was “miracle cures,” including Trump’s hawking of #hydroxychloroquine and disinfectants as potential #COVID19 treatments, accounting for more misinformation than the other 10 topics *combined*.🤬
Dr. Joshua Sharfstein, vice dean at @JohnsHopkinsSPH says that, in the absence of treatments or vaccines, honest and consistent messaging is essential: “This is what we need to save lives. If it’s not done well, you get far more infections and deaths.”💥

THREAD: I’ve been involved w/ multiple campaigns. The truth is that pollsters skew the final results *by definition*.

Why? Final poll “numbers” are projected based on turnout assumptions that the pollster uses to predict “results” based on raw polling data. 🧵 1/
Reliable pollsters try to poll a “representative” population of “likely” voters, including factors such as party affiliation, age, gender, ethnicity...

BUT some groups are more difficult to poll & data reliability can differ, based on methodology (call, text, online). 2/
Despite even best efforts, raw polling data (the ACTUAL data from “likely” voters) differs from the final poll “results.”

Why? Data from a sample size of hundreds is used to project “results” for MILLIONS. 3/

🚨BREAKING: the @CIA believed Trump ILLEGALLY took $10 million from #Egypt days before his inauguration.

Investigators thought this was why Trump gave $10 million of his own cash late in his campaign but were BLOCKED from probing by Trump appointees.🤬
washingtonpost.com/investigations…
In 2017, classified intel indicated Egyptian President El-Sisi sought to give Trump $10 million.

in Jan 2017, a Cairo bank got an unusual letter from an group linked to Egyptian intelligence asking the bank to withdraw ~$10 million from the organization’s account—ALL IN CASH.🧐
Employees at the state-run National Bank of #Egypt stuffed $100 bills into 2 large bags, weighing a combined 200 pounds & containing what was then a sizable share of Egypt’s reserve of US currency. Four men arrived and carried away the bags.🤔

🚨BREAKING: George Santos admits to using cash from his firm—#Devolder Organization—to fund his campaign with an allegedly ILLEGAL $700,000 corporate contribution.

It’s legal to use personal cash, but corporate cash is ILLEGAL.🧵

⚠️Santos admits he took money from his #Devolder to bankroll his campaign & the $700,000 in loans “was the money I paid myself through the Devolder Organization”👉🏼ILLEGAL

His financial disclosure shows a $750,000 salary from Devolder + dividends between $1-5 million.🧐

‼️Right-wing judicial activist Leonard Leo (then-EVP of the Federalist Society) helped facilitate the sale of Kellyanne Conway’s polling company in 2017 **while she was advising Trump** on Leo’s handpicked list of SCOTUS candidates.

TOTAL #corruption.🤬
politico.com/news/2022/12/2…
The sale came at a critical moment for Kellyanne▶️her ownership had come under Congressional scrutiny for potential “conflicts of interest,” likely creating pressure to unload it even though its value was unclear and she was its biggest asset but committed to her WH job.🙄
Leo—via one of his dark money groups—helped finance the transaction between Kellyanne and Creative Response Concepts Inc (CRC) *worth between $1 million and $5 million*.

At the time, CRC was also bringing in millions of dollars from dark money groups to promote Leo’s picks.🤬
