Are all government accounts on X just troll accounts now? This is from the official House Foreign Affairs Committee—the same committee responsible for foreign aid, global HIV/AIDS policy, security assistance, and national security. This is how they choose to represent themselves.

The fake "Catholic" newspaper is appearing in mailboxes in Wisconsin, just before the April 1 election. As has been reported in the past, Metric Media of Chicago has a history of publishing print and online secular newspapers as a way to push out political messages before the elections.

“Zuckerberg made matters worse after the election of Trump, choosing to embrace the extremist political figure who had used social media to whip up distrust ahead of the January 6 attack. … For users who once believed Threads could be a better kind of social network, their optimism dissipated.”

This morning's "Reliable Sources" lead: Journalists are supposed to cover reality. But we keep getting sucked into covering President Trump's unreality. No, we don't have to spend all day debunking his stuff, but we DO have to recognize that it's consuming the feeds of Trump fans. bit.ly/42Jygqz

This matters. Not because I think Trump is capable of mercy or empathy towards these vulnerable groups. But because it is a public act of defiance. Contrast that with all these other powerful people in this country signaling nothing but appeasement and obedience.

Jim Parks of Winnipeg Rifles was in the very first wave at D-Day. He was blown overboard and attacked the beach without a rifle. He didn't stop. 75 years later he was honoured by young Dutch and French who have never forgot the sacrifice. Unlike Trump, Canadians will always fight for freedom.
