1. @Publix heiress Julie Jenkins Fancelli gave $300K to finance the January 6 event that turned into a riot.

That was the bulk of the funding.

Publix is saying they have nothing to do with Francelli.

BUT Publix that isn't the full story. Image
@Publix 2. @Publix is one of a handful of companies that has said ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about whether their intend to keep donating to the 147 members of Congress who voted to overturn the presidential election.

They've ignored our inquiries for WEEKS.

3. In the 2020 cycle @Publix donated $3000 to Senator Rick Scott (R-FL), who voted to overturn the election, and $2500 to Senator Tommy Tuberville (AL), who also voted to overturn the election.

Publix refuses to say anything at all about these donations

1. On June 20, Missouri @AGAndrewBailey announced he is filing a lawsuit against the State of New York for prosecuting Trump

His legal theory is a farce

But the (still) nonexistent suit is already a success for Bailey

Because right-wing media outlets, including @WeAreSinclair, are legitimizing his stuntImage
2. In the U.S., in order to have standing as a plaintiff in a lawsuit, you must have an "injury in fact." In other words, it is not enough to allege that something illegal occurred

The lawsuit must show that the plaintiff was actually harmed

How was Missouri harmed by the criminal charges filed against Trump in New York? Bailey has struggled to come up with a convincing answer
3. Bailey says that "Missouri has a sovereign interest in participating on equal footing with other states in a national presidential election." Bailey then said New York, by prosecuting Trump, is "taking a presidential candidate off the campaign trail."

1. At Thursday's debate, Trump MUST ANSWER whether he intends to restrict or ban abortion pills

He was asked about this in an interview w/Time Magazine on April 12

Trump refused to answer but promised to release a statement within 14 days

It has been 75 days

Trump still has not answeredImage
2. Trump's campaign says he doesn't need to state his position on regulating abortion pills because the issue has been resolved by the Supreme Court

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY FALSE

The Supreme Court resolved nothing

popular.info/p/one-question…
3. The Supreme Court unanimously rejected a lawsuit seeking to ban mifepristone earlier this month

But it did so on very narrow procedural grounds

It ruled that The Alliance for Hippocratic Medicine a front group created to bring the lawsuit, lacked standing

It did not rule on the substance of the lawsuit, which was that an 1873 law, The Comstock Act, prohibited the distribution of mifepristone

1. In less than 24 hours, the South Carolina Board of Education will impose a centralized and expansive censorship regime on every K-12 school library in the state

The new regulations could result in the banning of most classic works of literature from South Carolina schools — from The Canterbury Tales to Romeo and Juliet to Dracula.

Follow along for details.

🧵Image
2. The rules were championed by South Carolina State Superintendent of Education @ellenfored, who is closely aligned with @moms4liberty, a far-right advocacy group seeking to remove scores of books from school libraries.

popular.info/p/south-caroli…
3. The new rules, which will go into effect tomorrow, will ban all books that include descriptions or visual depictions of "sexual conduct" from K-12 schools.

Critically, the regulations ban library books with any descriptions of "sexual conduct" whether or not those descriptions would be considered "obscene."

That means the book must be banned regardless of its artistic or literary merit. The Bible and Ulysses both contain sexual content and must be banned according to the new regulation.

1. At the DC Pride Parade, @Deloitte promoted its support of the LGBTQ community with its name spelled out with hundreds of rainbow balloons.

But a Popular Information investigation found that since the last election, @Deloitte donated at least 679K to anti-LGBTQ state and federal politicians.Image
2. @Deloitte has plenty of company.

Our investigation found that 25 corporations rainbow-flag waiving corporations have collectively donated at least $17,840,761 in support of federal and state anti-gay politicians since November 2022

popular.info/p/these-25-rai…
3. These totals include the following corporate donations:

1. Contributions to members of Congress (and their leadership PACs) that received a zero rating on the latest Congressional scorecard produced by HRC.

2. Contributions to sponsors of anti-LGBTQ legislation in Alabama, Idaho, Louisiana, Ohio and Tennessee.

3. Contributions to the Republican Governors Association (RGA), the Republican Attorneys General Association (RAGA), and the Republican State Leadership Committee (RSLC) — national 527 organizations that support anti-LGBTQ candidates.

1. 3/4 of Americans believe crime is INCREASING when the data shows it is DECREASING rapidly

Why?

GOP politicians keep claiming crime is increasing

Media outlets are unable or unwilling to correct them

🧵
2. On @ThisWeekABC, @SenatorTimScott said: "Under Joe Biden, we've seen the greatest increase in violent crime in my lifetime"

@jonkarl responded that violent crime "is actually down in the past year"

It has been down EVERY YEAR OF BIDEN'S PRESIDENCY

popular.info/p/why-so-many-…
3. Then things got worse.

@SenatorTimScott claimed, "we've seen over 4,000 shootings just in the city of Chicago"

Chicago had 4,000 shootings IN 2020 WHEN TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT

Last year, there were 2,942 shootings, a decline of 28%

Through 6/15, shootings in Chicago are down another 5.6% year-to-date

UPDATE: @WeAreSinclair responds to Popular Information's story. It defends basing news articles on deceptively edited clips posted by @RNCResearch. And they "stand by... their reporting" -- reporting that includes multiple articles suggesting Joe Biden pooped himself. Image
2. This is the story @WeAreSinclair does not want you to read. They are continuing to advance the fiction that they are bipartisan.

popular.info/p/sinclair-flo…
@WeAreSinclair 3. In fact, they accused me of not being "objective" for asking basic questions about their tactics. They have still not offered any substantive defense for flooding a network of local news sites w/deceptively edited video and other misinformation about Biden's mental fitness. Image
