1. There is a tradition in the media to "balance" the coverage between candidates. That's why journalists, with the encouragement of GOP operatives, have turned Biden's reluctance to take a definitive position on expanding the court into a "scandal"
2. It would be great to know what Biden plans to do, if elected, with the court but did you know Trump has released NO POLICIES WHATSOEVER FOR HIS 2ND TERM?
3. The same Republicans who are saying Biden is contemplating an unprecedented radical act by expanding the court explicitly argued we should shrink the court to 8 or less if Hillary Clinton won in 2016

3. Breitbart uses this lie to falsely suggest that there is a "lack of consensus on the controversial subject" of mask-wearing. This is another dangerous lie.
But Facebook said the article DID NOT VIOLATE ITS COVID-19 MISINFORMATION POLICY.
2. The project, known as Pebble Mine, is very unpopular in Alaska. That's because it threatens the salmon fishery in the area, which is the largest in the world. It's important commercially, recreationally, and for Alaska Natives
