Reupping this🧵given the bombshell news today that US intel knew Russia was using the Clinton campaign’s “collusion” hoax against @realDonaldTrump to foment disinformation in 2016.

It’s clear that the media wasn’t just pushing nonsense, but actively helping Russian interference.
Hoping to have a new one up tonight.

Justice Elena Kagan, nominated by President Obama, had never served a day as a judge before joining the Supreme Court.
Every day I grow more confident that I am the only person on the internet who remembers anything since before Trump was elected.
UPDATE: Justice Kagan’s name appears nowhere in this entire piece and I need a drink.

Remember when Tom Nichols wrote a piece for Politico applauding Jonathan Chait's whacky conspiracy theory that Trump had been a Russian intel asset since 1987? politico.com/magazine/story…
and then Chait wrote an article a couple months later that literally had the line "I was right" in the headline? nymag.com/article/2019/0…
I think about this basically everyday.

Reupping this thread from the presidential debates fact checking the factcheckers.

Sen. Harris repeated a number of objectively wrong points - including on fracking, the GND, the ‘both sides’ smear, and more - last night.

I’ll 🧵re-thread🧵those points below 👇
First, the Green New Deal.

Bottom line: both Biden and Harris support the legislative priorities underlying the Green New Deal.
Next, the “both sides” slander about Charlottesville.

Bottom line: as Pence pointed out, this isn’t true, it has never been true, and it’s egregious that the media doesn’t call this out.

🧵Thread🧵

At some point, we need to have a reckoning about the ways that Dems & the media pushed the “Russian collusion” narrative - absent any evidence - and how they’ve refused to revisit it as the narrative has fallen apart.

Just in case you’ve forgotten how bad it was👇
We have to start here with @HillaryClinton, whose team invented this smear.

All of these were from before the election. The timing is important because we just learned today that US intel was worried about how Russia would use Clinton’s concocted attacks: thefederalist.com/2020/10/06/bre…
Of course, she wasn’t alone. Shortly behind her was @SpeakerPelosi, who took the fabricated allegations and, along with the rest of congressional Dems, whipped them into a firestorm unlike anything we’ve ever seen.

Hello and welcome to the second iteration of the Hypocrisy Hall of Fame. Today’s ceremony is for the flip among the “party of science” folks who no longer trust experts if it means @realDonaldTrump can beat coronavirus.

We’ve got some doozies. #HypocrisyHOF
Leading us off, with her second top billing, is the inimitable, the timeless, the one and only @JRubinBlogger, who tweets hypocrisy where angels dare to tread. From experts saving lives to Congress defunding a hospital full of experts.

A true first ballot #HypocrisyHOF member.
Hot on her heels is @CNN’s @drsanjaygupta. This “medical expert” went from convening the best and brightest of America’s medical community to suggesting that some of those best and brightest are straight-up lying about @realDonaldTrump’s condition.

Serious #HypocrisyHOF mettle.

Rubin just going full melt down right now. Happy Sunday.
Trump’s hospitalization has been far harder on Rubin’s mental health than it has been for Trump, his family, or even his most earnest supporters.
Trump is on his way back to the White House and honestly I think Rubin needs a wellness check.
