Posts claim business cards are being laced with burundanga. That's impossible Social media posts framed as a "police warning" directed towards women were vague chain messages without any evidence for their reality.

A chain message spreading on Facebook claims that a man gave a woman a business card laced with a drug called burundanga at a gas station and followed her as she drove away. But there's no truth to the story. ❌ www.snopes.com/fact-check/b...

New polling shows a remarkable portion of the country supports the No Kings movement, and that portion is quite a bit bigger than support for MAGA, which is dropping.

Big day at U.S. District Court in D.C. where Sean Dunn, the D.C. Sandwich Guy, is on trial for misdemeanor assault of a federal officer.

Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.

'Now he’s struck me with the sandwich,' Lairmore says.

This is a classic form of voter intimidationβ€”making people feel like it’s not safe to go to the polls. It moments like this where we need to summon our courage & vote anyhow. Vote in the tradition of the people who marched in Selma to secure the right to vote.

We’re going to have to get used to this. 2026 and 2028 are likely to look very similar.

No matter what side of the aisle you’re on, attempts to prevent US citizens from voting should be a red line for you.

We can’t allow terroristic threats to keep us from the polls.

Happy birthday, @pbs, and thank you for (just off the top of my head) Mister Rogers, Bob Ross, Sesame Street, Cosmos, Reading Rainbow, Nova, Frontline, The American Experience, The Magic School Bus, and Nature.

The good you put into this world, and the return on my investment, is astronomical.

Apparently there are still people who'll confess in public that they believe no investigation happened before Jack Smith, when a great deal of the investigation was done by then.

Kash Patel used a government jet to travel to see his girlfriend perform at an event. The most shocking aspect of this story is that Kash Patel has a girlfriend

BREAKING!!!!

Yet another bozo claims an investigation that seized Co-Conspirator 1's phone on the first possible day "was exceptionally slow."

And holy hell people, if DOJ seized two key phones and subpoenaed dozens of people in September 2022, how damaging was the same pre-2022 hold?

This ladies and gentlemen, is Louisiana congressman Clay Higgins. What a dumb loser. Meanwhile he's getting paid while a large chunk of his district struggles to put food on the table.

Yes, a social media post showing Rep. Nancy Mace's past support for same-sex marriage is real. βœ… www.snopes.com/fact-check/n...
