Judge Eric Davis ruled earlier that #Newsmax did indeed #defame Denver-based #DominionVotingSystems by airing false information [ #lies] about the company & its equipment. But Davis left it to a #jury to eventually decide whether that was done with #malice, &, if so, how much #Dominion deserved from Newsmax in #damages. Newsmax & Dominion reached the settlement before the trial could take place.
The settlement was disclosed by Newsmax on Monday in a new filing with the #SEC.

Ah, so that's where the old clothes go we put in the textile recycling bin.

The ones that some company promises get "reused" or "recycled". I guess burning them on another continent counts as one of those.

Been wondering what the truth is behind the corporate copywriting.

Today, #r4Today platformed the detestable Robert Jenrick in whipping up hatred based on spurious stats which weren’t challenged.

As he is obsessed with the incidence of sexual offences he might like to look at Westminster, where it’s highest per 1,000 London people

https://public.tableau.com/app/profile/metropolitan.police.service/viz/MonthlyCrimeDataNewCats/Coversheet

A Metropolitan Police map of London boroughs, each with hues of blue that represent the extent of sexual offences per 1,000 people. The darker the blue, the higher the incidence of offence. The borough of Westminster stands out as significantly darker blue than the light turquoise green-blues around it. An overlay for Westminster cites 5,927 offences, which equates to 22.8 offences per 1,000 people. On the right are various categories of offences with ‘Sexual offences’ selected as the focus given to the map.

"Saying ‘both sides are the same,’ when one side is a lie and the other the truth, always promotes the lie and degrades the truth.

"or if hungry people should have food, or if thirsty people should have water, or if disabled people should have access to buildings, we have already lost.

Those things don’t go on the table. Because once they are on they are on the table, they have entered the realm of the things we consider."

Eventually, they'll know that Trump, Johnson... just lied continually about the #Medicaid cuts...” They’ll watch as red states build more versions of FL’s #AlligatorAlcatraz with the $Bs in this bill for the IMM #detention system *most already disapprove of. They’ll see vets lose their food stamp benefits, %rates go⬆️bc of the $Ts the bill adds to the debt.

What kind of ppl want to close rural hospitals, vets..?
Voters will feel the #austerity, soon.

I heard Johnson say: the average American will be better off by $10,000❗

Jun 24: the WH wrote that if the #BBB passes, "hardworking Americans & families will see an average increase in take-home pay of >$10,000/yr."

Mostly False: during the 1st 4 yrs after the bill’s passage, take-home pay for a fam of 4 would rise by a minimal of $7,600 to a max of $10,900/yr...
🚨In the 10th year after the bill’s passage -projected incomes would rise by $5,503 to $9,070.

“'They said, "We’re going to shoot them. Is one o’clock OK?" I said it’s fine,' Trump said. 'And everybody was emptied off the base so they couldn’t get hurt, except for the gunners.'”

"When political scientist Seth Masket shared this story on Bluesky yesterday, I couldn’t believe it was real. The right-wing Washington Times reported that at a press conference at the NATO Summit in the Netherlands on Wednesday, Trump revealed that he had given Iran permission to bomb the U.S.’s Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar in retaliation for the American bombing of their nuclear sites."
