🌪️ It’s not your imagination; reality is warping.
This is the day the gaslighting went into overdrive. All organizations spin facts, but Trump and his allies are building an alternate reality where science is buried, military history is rewritten for a slogan, and top officials invent fictions on national TV.
This is 1984-style New Speak that is designed to confuse and exhaust. Their goal is to bend truth so it becomes what they say it is. We must be the ones who hold the line. Be that person in your community, because others are warping reality. Some are complicit, but many are just good people who are exhausted.
Don’t leave truth to them or the algorithm. Our free and private nightly email arms you with images, data, and quotes so you can see it all for yourself. Add your email at govbrief dot today or on Substack at Gov Brief Today.
