FACT CHECK: Truth Dying in Darkness

Here's someone who's not Glenn Kessler at the Washington Post fact-checking a lot of the things Trump and his mob have been claiming about California. I'll quote this one paragraph…

In California, violent crime is down, and the unemployment rate is close to the national average. The state recently overtook Japan as the world’s fourth-largest economy. It has the highest number of immigrants — both legal, most of them citizens, and undocumented. But in recent years, the state has lost hundreds of thousands of undocumented immigrants to their homelands or to more-affordable states. Unauthorized immigrants in California remain well below the peak of nearly 3 million more than a decade ago for reasons that often have little to do with enforcement — or Trump.

Fact-Check.org debunks the claim that protestors are paid and notes that Trump is now citing murder statistics he used to insist were "Fake News." Also, there's a graphic making the rounds of the Internet that fibs about what's in the so-called "Big, Beautiful Bill."

You can also find an awful lot of videos on YouTube where Congressfolks are arguing with members of the Trump team over what's in the bill…and the Trumpers' responses are pretty unconvincing. It's like even they don't believe what they've been told to say. This has become the norm since Trump was sworn in by placing his hand on that book he's never opened except to autograph copies for sale.
