I find it interesting that American news orgs are comfortable referring to European lawmakers as “pro-Russia” or “pro-Kremlin” but when #MAGA chuds spout undiluted Russian #propaganda and run interference for #Putin at every turn they’re called “isolationists.”

MAGA Republicans like MTG won't admit the truth about Ukraine aid

The House is back after its Easter break and Speaker Mike Johnson has vowed to pass the aid package Ukraine needs to fight Russia. Can MTG (and Trump) kill it?

The original tweet from the State of #Israel’s official account has received more than 53 million views. At the time of this writing, the first Community Note containing the false information about Swift’s bodyguard had over 650,000 views and the second one, which is still public, has over 1.4 million views. Taken together, this appears to show how lots of people can be shown Community Notes which do not add clarification but, in fact, add falsehoods to a post.

New York Times: Covert Chinese accounts are masquerading online as American supporters of former President Donald J. Trump, promoting conspiracy theories, stoking domestic divisions and attacking President Biden ahead of the election in November, according to researchers and government officials. The effort has more successfully attracted actual users’ attention and become more difficult for researchers to identify than previous Chinese efforts to influence public opinion in the United States. Though researchers say the overall political tilt of the campaign remains unclear, it has raised the possibility that China’s government is calculating that a second Trump presidency, despite his sometimes hostile statements against the country, might be preferable to a second Biden term. 🔗 https://www.nytimes.com/2024/04/01/business/media/china-online-disinformation-us-election.html
