You can't... repeal... a scientific finding. At that point it's just called lying about it.

Fox's coverage of the attack on Rep. Ilhan Omar is conveniently leaving out Trump's response in which he suggested it was a hoax and said he hoped he didn't have to bother seeing the video of it
Quite a striking departure from the rhetoric police of late
Fox News over the weekend:
- Pretti pulled a gun, confronted ICE with a gun, made bad decisions
- Those who shot him very well could have just stopped a mass murder of LEOs
Fox News today:
- So, uh video that's been around before we said all of that doesn't really seem to back it up, huh?
welcome to america, the country that makes you watch executions in the street frame by frame a few times a month just to stay up in current events

DreamHaven Books owner Greg Ketter emerging from a cloud of tear gas that ICE agents fired into the streets of Minneapolis.
Remember the other day when I was saluting my friend Greg Ketter, owner of Minneapolis’ DreamHaven Books? This is him the following day. Greg will never say this, so I will — now is a great time to buy books from DreamHaven. Support Americans who stand up vs. 🧊. dreamhavenbooks.com

According to Fox News, people you can blame for Border Patrol killing Alex Pretti:
- Alex Pretti
- Gov. Walz and Mayor Frey
People who have no culpability at all:
- Border Patrol
Fox hosts this morning have gone all in blaming Alex Pretti for his murder
Charlie Hurt: "Only one person could have prevented this from happening, and it's Alex Pretti. He should not have been there, he should not have confronted ICE"
This is so disgustingly desperate

Another ruling just yesterday in Minnesota: A federal judge calls it "particularly craven" that ICE transfered "a nursing refugee mother" out of state. Ta Eh Doh Lah was admitted as a refugee from Myanmar in 2024, has no criminal history and a 5-month-old. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

No reporting/video I've seen has suggested he drew his gun, but that's not stopping people on Fox from claiming it
I recommend not watching the videos, which are chaotic and gut-wrenching, and instead going through Bellingcat's analysis.
This man appeared to be zero threat, while the officers were overly-aggressive, agitated, and clearly primed to used lethal force.
Media should stop quoting anything from DHS/ICE/ the admin in its reporting, seeing as it’s, on its face, entirely uncredible.

They evoke such a visceral, emotional reaction -- a stark representation of the rot that is taking over this country and the humanity that we are losing
Help this make sense
We need to seize Greenland because the threat of Russia
But Trump has also offered Russia a spot on Trump's "Board of Peace"
So, is Russia a National Security threat worthy of using military force to steal an ally nation, or are they worthy of being on the "Board of Peace"
The rhetoric MAGA media is using to describe Minnesota protesters is increasingly unhinged and militaristic -- "insurgents" and "terrorists" waging "guerilla warfare,” looking to provoke a "Fort Sumter moment" and start a civil war.

A Minneapolis couple said that ICE agents deployed tear gas and stun grenades around them and their six children — the youngest only 6 months old — as they tried to maneuver their car out of a tense protest on Wednesday night. Shawn Jackson and his wife, Destiny, both 26, said they were driving home from a son’s basketball game when the family found themselves caught in a clash between protesters and federal agents in North Minneapolis. The couple sensed the encounter could quickly spiral out of control, they said, but when they tried to turn their car around to exit the blocked-off street, they were surrounded by federal agents. “From the side, the front and from behind me, it was nothing but ICE,” Mr. Jackson said in an interview on Thursday. One agent told the couple that they needed to get out of the area. Ms. Jackson said she and her husband responded that they were trying to do exactly that, but their path was blocked by agents coming up the street. Then, agents let loose on the crowd, the couple said. The crowd-control grenades went off around them and one tear gas canister rolled beneath the car, Ms. Jackson said. A concussive blast — from the tear gas canister or another device, she wasn’t sure — rocked the vehicle, she said, setting off the airbags and trapping the family as acrid smoke billowed around.

MMFA post 1/14/26: X (formerly Twitter) is releasing new Terms of Service effective January 15, 2026. Media Matters for America does not accept these new terms. You can still find us elsewhere: Bluesky, Instagram, Threads, TikTok, and of course, at mediamatters.org, where we are still full speed ahead calling out right-wing media misinformation.
14.01.2026 23:00 — 👍 5425 🔁 810 💬 88 📌 58It's simply laughable to say that Fox let "the facts speak for themselves" when they ran rampant with the admin claims before any facts were actually out
But even more hypocritical for them to call out Dems 'inflammatory comments' while they hung onto every word of the admin's inflammatory comments
