Trump’s endless lies

Some call them false statements. I call them lies. He says the same fake stuff over and over. That’s a lie.

Seventy-four false claims last week. Thirty-six on Monday alone. Twenty-seven in that Texas rally speech. Elite feat: he got corrected in a 24-hour span by both the government of South Korea and the El Paso Fire Department. https://t.co/F5eq2uhG11

Trump attacked the Post’s Pinocchios but he was fine with them when they were given to Obama. Liar and hypocrite.

The latest right-wing fake picture

I haven’t seen liberals doing this. I think liberals are not as gullible based on how the Trump cult believes obvious lies.

Hey trolls,

If you're going to Photoshop old pictures of the Klan, remember that no one in the 1920s would've called it the "Democrat Party" like a Limbaugh listener would today. That's just a stupid rookie mistake. pic.twitter.com/6zZRFYzMkv

Trump’s latest attack on abortion

The Trump administration said Friday that it would bar taxpayer-funded family planning clinics from referring women for abortions. The move is certain to be challenged in court by abortion rights supporters. https://t.co/4eIcTUEQvi

Even a Fox News poll shows the majority wants Roe v. Wade to stand. This latest Trump action only appeals to his cult.

At least 20 abortion cases are steps from the U.S. Supreme Court. Any one could gut Roe v. Wade. https://t.co/nEyg3QZsFQ

We were right about Kavanaugh. He was put on the Court to gut Roe and he is already going after it just five months into the job.

New election to be held for NC-09 House representative

Even Republicans finally understood all their efforts to rig the election were not acceptable. Trump says nothing.

Trump has routinely warned about massive voter fraud.

Yet he remains silent on North Carolina, where even the Republican with more votes now admits there's enough concern to warrant a new election.

The latest Trump effort to deny climate change

This is pathetic. Something like 97% of the experts accept that there is climate change. Trump is ignorant and doesn’t. He won’t listen to reports from his own government agencies. We will all suffer and the damage will be permanent.

The inclusion of Dr. Happer suggests the efforts may be the latest step by the Trump administration to play down or distort the established scientific consensus on the impact of climate change. https://t.co/o7Rs2z6yFS

William Happer:
• Said CO2 “is not a pollutant at all”
• Repeatedly argued that rising CO2 levels aren’t a real issue
• Accused NOAA and NASA of manipulating temperature records
• And has compared the “demonization of carbon dioxide” to the Holocaust

Because we delayed, we’ll have to cut emissions much faster than we would have if we started earlier. It’s much more expensive and less efficient this way—and despite knowing this back then, leaders still chose to obfuscate & delay. https://t.co/etF91aCezJ

It's been one week since I challenged @SenateMajLdr McConnell to finally agree to 3 principles:

1. Climate change is real
2. It's caused by humans
3. Congress needs to act

I still haven't heard anything from him. But here's what happened this week in GOP climate denial instead:
— Chuck Schumer (@SenSchumer) February 21, 2019

Remember this when you hear Republicans and Fox News commentators criticizing plans to tackle climate change:

Republicans have ZERO plans to address climate change.

It's time for @SenateMajLdr to stop hiding and tell the truth about climate change once and for all.

Another example of Ross’s corruption

Commerce Secretary Ross does it again. Not the first example of his disregard for ethics and conflicts of interest. He should be removed.

Ross's finances have raised questions of serious, possibly criminal, conflicts of interest. Now we learn that four days ago OGE declined to certify his financial disclosure after concluding that Ross wasn't "in compliance with applicable laws and regulations" https://t.co/eORrUtK19x
