They're even projecting about THIS!

Via Patriot Takes:

MAGA used a deceptively edited video posted by “RNC Research” to claim Joe #Biden was sitting in an invisible chair or “pooping” on stage.

Fox News host Jeanine Pirro later deleted her tweet. Politifact lists others who pushed the fake narrative.

In his meeting with Volodymyr #Zelenskyy, President #Biden apologized for delays in security funding — blaming conservatives:

"I apologize for those weeks of not knowing what's going to happen in terms of funding, because we had trouble getting the bill that we had to pass … some of our very conservative members who were holding it up."

Thanks for your get-wells. ❤️

1. Republicans block a bill that would protect contraception

2. Trump floats jailing his opponents; an informal advisor suggests executing them

3. DataProgress poll: 63% of swing voters have heard little to nothing about Trump's guilty verdict

May I humbly suggest that Biden supporters use their feeds to put some of this info in front of people instead of continuing to complain/amplify stupid WSJ story …?

Reps. Jamie #Raskin and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez are hosting a roundtable next week on the ethics crisis at the #SCOTUS.

The roundtable will feature panelists — including Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse — to examine how "Justices beholden to right-wing dark money networks and unencumbered by any binding code of ethics are imposing an extremist agenda that undermines American democracy, deprives Americans of basic civil rights, and guts environmental protections."
