Spot the difference
Side-by-side comparison of three social media posts announcing the death of former Republican House Speaker Dennis Hastert at age 84. On the left, Fox News posts, “BREAKING: Dennis Hastert, longest-serving Republican House speaker, dead at 84,” above a photo of Hastert raising his hand at a microphone. In the center, CBS News posts, “Former Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert, who represented Illinois for two decades in Congress and was later jailed for violating banking laws, has died,” above a photo of Hastert walking through the U.S. Capitol. On the right, MeidasTouch posts, “Dennis Hastert, the longest-serving Republican Speaker in history, has died at 84. Hastert admitted in federal court to sexually abusing boys he coached as a high school wrestling coach. A federal judge called him a ‘serial child molester.’ He was a registered sex offender.” The MeidasTouch post includes an image of Hastert speaking from the House floor with a C-SPAN chyron identifying him as Speaker of the House.

A lying, propaganda-spewing Trump administration press secretary, like Karoline Leavitt, becoming a lying, propaganda-spewing Fox News personality isn't technically a "new gig"—it's more like a lateral hire.

The amount of money the administration is promising in order to buy votes is significantly less than the amount of money it is taking away in programs and services. And it's OUR money!

And by "violating banking laws" CBS News means former Republican Speaker of the House Dennis Hastert molested boys he coached for wrestling in high school, boys as young as 14. To-may-to/to-mah-to!

Trump and Stephen Miller’s ICE is out of control. Alex Pretti, a brave American and nurse, was protecting his community when ICE agents shot and killed him. Stephen Miller then tried to smear his name and lie about his death. What else is he lying about?

Hegseth also removed the olive branches, a traditional symbol of wishing peace, from the Department of Defense seal. This, in addition to changing the name to "The Department of War," shows the dangerous belligerency that comes from appointing a frat bro who values testosterone over statesmanship.

Since Trump took office, his backwards economic policies have cost the average American family over $4,200 extra for everyday necessities. ⛽ Gas: $4.36/gal 🚛 Diesel: $6.32/gal Now 95% of Americans say we’re in an affordability crisis. Americans can’t afford more of this. Vote out ALL Republicans!

Our war with Iran was *never* about them having a nuclear weapon. That has always been a lie. And how do we know this? North Korea has *lots* of nuclear weapons. And instead of bombing them, Trump is always singing the praises of its leader and how much he likes Trump. We are being conned.

Ken Paxton says he doesn't control his own campaign. If he reaches the Senate, who will control his vote? Stephen Miller? Elon Musk? (And isn't it interesting that audio keeps leaking from Paxton events. Some of the people closest to him hate him.)
