The Oregon Republican Party promoted Donald Trump’s plan to send National Guard troops to Portland with a social media post featuring a fabricated image of a riot scene. The image, presented on platforms like Facebook and X, was a composite of two stock photos, one depicting South American riot police and the other a Brazilian protest. Despite the image’s inauthenticity, the post was made to encourage Trump’s plan to send troops. After being questioned about the image’s origins, the party responded, claiming they were “just bad memers,” and the post was subsequently removed.

When questioned about the image’s authenticity, the party’s X account admitted they were “just bad memers.”

President Trump and other Republicans have falsely claimed Democrats are responsible for the government shutdown due to their desire to provide free healthcare to undocumented immigrants. However, Democrats are focused on extending tax credits that make health insurance more affordable and reversing Medicaid cuts made in a recent bill. Undocumented immigrants are ineligible for both Affordable Care Act subsidies and Medicaid. Experts have refuted the claim as inaccurate, emphasizing that the primary goal of Democrats is not to provide healthcare to those in the country illegally.

Democrats have proposed a budget plan aimed at restoring healthcare access for legal immigrants who would lose coverage under the Republican tax and spending law. This proposal seeks to extend Affordable Care Act subsidies and reverse cuts to Medicaid, but it would not extend eligibility to immigrants residing in the U.S. illegally, who are generally ineligible for these federally funded programs. Republicans, however, have inaccurately claimed that the Democratic proposal would provide “hundreds of billions” in health benefits to immigrants illegally, a claim unsupported by the Democrats’ plan or the current federal healthcare eligibility rules. Ultimately, the Democratic proposal would primarily impact legal immigrants and not those residing in the U.S. illegally.

Most Voters Think America’s Divisions Cannot Be Overcome, Poll Says, and this sentiment is a powerful one. It’s a chilling realization that the chasm separating Americans feels less like a manageable divide and more like an unbridgeable canyon. The sheer depth of disagreement, not just on policy, but on fundamental principles, has fostered a sense of hopelessness for many. This isn’t just about differing opinions; it’s about different realities.
At the heart of this despair lies a fundamental disconnect: the inability of many to agree on even basic facts. It is a situation where objective truth is now subject to interpretation, where facts can be challenged and dismissed, and where personal beliefs hold more weight than expert consensus.… Continue reading

The President of the United States has declared a potential military intervention in Portland based on what he saw on Fox News and advice from his aides, despite lacking verified information about the current situation. Reports indicate that Trump was referencing outdated footage and claims, potentially leading to a misinformed decision to send in the National Guard. This alarming action stems from the President’s reliance on media coverage and possibly the influence of advisors like Stephen Miller, who are using the President’s detachment from reality to enact their agendas.
