How many times has Trump told a lie so ridiculous you thought no one could possibly defend it?

10? 50? 500? 10,000?

I've been there. However, I’ve learned there’s no bridge too far for MAGA. At no point was that clearer than after his disgusting rant about Ohio refugees eating cats and dogs at last fall’s presidential debate.

The refugee lie wasn’t just hateful, but bizarre enough to shock a jaded nation. Pathetic enough that Trump himself clearly regretted telling it.

But, within minutes, his army of bootlickers and sycophants had mobilized to start doubling down.

Thousands of MAGA bots began pushing out deepfakes and disinformation to tens of millions of Americans.

Then armed extremists descended on small-town Ohio. Refugees were targeted, threatened, and ostracized. Parents kept their kids home from school, businesses closed, and entire communities hid in fear.

I was, like most Americans, horrified by those events. I thought about this quote:

“Anyone who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.”
Today is National Freedom of Information Day, folks, and a powerful reminder that information and freedom go hand in hand.

It’s why Elon Musk bought Twitter: to cut off your access to information before the most important election of our lifetimes.

It’s the reason Donald Trump coined the term “fake news:” to discredit the free press.

It's why they continue to muddy the waters until we can't tell what’s real and what’s fake.

That confusion is the source of their power.

They've turned neighbors against neighbors, friends against friends, family against family. And if we let Donald Trump and Elon Musk become the sole arbiters of truth, there’s no telling where they’ll lead us.

I, for one, am determined to make sure we never find out.

I’ll never stop exercising my constitutional right to expose their B.S. everywhere I can. But truth needs volume. It needs folks like you to amplify it online, in your community, around the dinner table.

Only our collective voices of truth can drown out the lies. Let’s dial it up together.
